38.5's really...they're BFG's



Hasn't been an issue yet and anything the helps with mpg is welcome while I wait for the AEV bumper.

I was figuring they would be more like 36.5-37” haaaaaa....38.5 isnt bad for a bfg that they call a 39!

bfg says they are 38.5 so you are probably closer. I have never had bfg that was as tall as they claimed.

you don't need trees to get out but it sure helps. if you wheel alone you better be ready. do you have Aland anchor?

I was thinking of trying to build one big enough for my pw does anyone use one?

Thanks Dad...LOL

The definitive solution would be the Pull pal. https://www.pullpal.com/

They are bulky, heavy and to be honest, rarely needed, but they absolutely work like magic.

The Deadman anchor would be the next option. https://www.deadmanoffroad.com/

They also work amazingly well but require quite a bit of digging if the earth is the only anchor option. I do own one of these as they are easy to stash in a vehicle with almost no weight or space penalty and the perform multiple jobs as tree savers, boulder anchors, drop cloth, rescue stretcher and a signaling device.

I can dig it I can make a cheap facsimile at home with slings

No cube lights in rear bumper, or are the tubs just sitting there? I've always been intrigued about doing flares, but i would cost me a billion dollars to convert over. I'd need:

1. Flare kit
2. New wheels
3. Tires (40's, maybe 42's)
4. Replace all 64 of my cut down lugs
5. Front bumper corner pieces
6. A regear

That's easily $10kish without even getting into hard math. Not worth it for me. Maybe waaay down the line, or on my next wagon years from now.

Hey this is a fun quote lmao
