When you talk about rig requirements for trail runs( need 35s and a locker etc.) is that just a baseline to give an idea what to expect? What I mean is, a mega cab dodge on 35s isnt gonna get around as easy as a cj-2a on 35s. I guess u could call it tire to rig ratio or something. Haha
I’ve got an urge to build an old willys rig and wondered if I would be ok with smaller tires since the wheelbase and width is so small.

Love the show, and ranch on my pizza
