Here is a couple of shots of the new tires, wheels and warn front bumper if you are interested. Sorry for the low light level. I had to find some shade because of the huge glare off the NEW SHINY WHEELS in the sun!

thanks guys:
Kawasakirules: I tested the tires on Monday in the swamps of a east texas thicket and they performed very well with the little 386cc powerplant. I followed/passed my brothers 98 bigbear with my old stock tires/wheels. I noticed that the tires really dont spin that much and when it does the lugs act as paddles and just keep moving forward untill it grabs again. I'm sure if I worked hard enough on it I could get it stuck but if you take it easy and plow on through nice and smooth you take on anything. One bad thing is it is very wide and rooster tails of water and mud fly. But looks cool once you get on hard pack hit the gas and watch your tires clean itself chucking mud clods on your buddies. I'm glad I did not go with 28".
mrdumass: I have no intensions of doing any major performace mods. The ratio of cash you spend to gain nothing is to great. I will do a K&N airfilter, rejet and possibly the stealth exhaust later but thats it.
Lomax: I used good hardwood plywood and not the cheap stuff. I used 3-coats of paint so far. I drilled holes and used pop (big) rivets to secure down to racks. Use rubber gromets between the rack and wood to kill the vibration. Rivets Look way better than bolt heads sticking out. I used bolts and nuts/lock washers to secure the ammo boxes down. I did not rivet those as I can take them off easy if I want to and you cant see the bolts heads anyway.

I just got my ammo boxes and have been coating them with beadliner matierial. I "obtained" a peice of ABS plastic from a boat dashboard manufature here in town and I am going to try to use that to mount them down, Great Idea with the pop rivets, I didnt think about that!!
