Never shared a photo with the correct hubcaps installed.... I think it looks a lot better now.

17" x 9" with 38's

Thank you sir!

I threw in a bit of Unimog (portal boxes) too just to make it more impossible to do the suspension / axle packaging!!

Front has 14" of shock travel, Rear has 16".... It's pretty nuts.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I really like 4x4s with big tires and a regular body height. Trophy truck style.

AEV makes a fender kit for Colorado ZR2s that allow for a 35" tire with no lift. It does require cutting the stock fender. It looks amazing. https://www.coloradofans.com/cdn-cgi...28-jpg.393100/

Agree!

The hard part is insuring that you still have some decent bump-travel once you set a nice low ride-height. Portal axles are notorious for only having 2-3" of bump travel due the the raised axletube heights which hit the oilpan, framerails, etc. That makes for a pretty miserable offroad wheeler.

After a LOT of struggles I ended up with 6" bump/ 8" droop (front) and 7" bump/ 9" droop out back.

No, they were on the truck when I bought it. Originally they were black. I don't have too much information as the stampings are on the barrel inside the tires.
