Bearbait got some new shoes today! Finally threw out the BFG KO2s!!!! Hated those square pieces of shit. Got some 37 inch Nitto Trail Grapplers.View attachment 419340View attachment 419341

Next item on the list, the axles that Jason gave me… hopefully that will be March and before the D30 gives out lol

Nice! Do I see a little fender chop in your future? 😏

Also, my 35s are probably gonna wear out this year and I kinda don’t want another set of them… tempting me to run 37s on my 30 until I get an axle since I have another vehicle 😂

Thank you! Eventually I’ll chop them lol

I didn’t want another set of tires smaller than a 37 either plus it’s nice having the gladiator and the JK on the same tires in case anything happens.

You got another vehicle? Or meaning the TJ?

You won't hurt anything driving around on the roads with them. The difference on the 30 & 44 is the pumpkin, not the outer assy.
Just be careful offroad & you'll be ok.

Just be prepared to have to address other components - DL flip, raised TB mounts, etc...

Why does everyone think the D30 will explode with 37’s? I ran that way for a long time.
 
Yesterday, we went back to Billings to pick up Bearbait from the dealership that we picked Grizzly Bear up from. As we were driving there on Saturday, we noticed this cool looking old mill that has been turned into coffee shop, so we stopped by yesterday.

Come to find out, it was definitely more than just a coffee shop. IMG_0554.jpeg

There was a cheese cave/creameryIMG_0570.jpegIMG_0574.jpegIMG_0572.jpegIMG_0571.jpeg
From the cheese cave, there was a tunnel that connected to this cool greenhouse.

They also had a petting zoo, hands on wool mill, leather smith and several other buildings that we didn’t have time to explore. They also are open to doing classes to homeschool groups. Needless to say we will be back.
 
Now that Bearbait is back at home, it will be parked for the time being until we can get some work done to it. The engine is still continuing to misfire, so the check engine light has been on for a while. Still need to put some money into the suspension, I still haven’t had the long arms installed that we have had in the garage for 4 years. Something always came up when we had it scheduled 🙄

Maybe I can ship it to @Disciple Off Road next year 🤪 then @LS JK to add 3 cylinders after that
