Love my re-caps!

I ran 33s (15x8 rims, 4\" backspacing) with no lift for a couple of years but didn\'t do much wheelin\'.  They hit the sway bar on full lock turns.  When I did wheel it, they rubbed when it flexed but I didn\'t care much.  My junk is old and my front fenders are shot anyway.  I\'ve since added 2.5\" that keeps them off the fenders except at the most extreme.

IMHO - a budget boost and 33s on the right rims will hold you for a long time.  Just keep the sway bar hooked up.  Add a rear locker next and keep wheelin\' it.  It doesn\'t have to get crazy to perform OK.

Develop a build plan and stick with it.

Did I mention that I love my re-caps...

Thanks wingman.  Now if I can ever manage to keep you and Extreme separate in my head I\'ll be in good shape :)

Don\'t sweat it.  My low profile does keep people guessing ;-)

Hey guys-

I have just recently accepted a job offer with Northrop Grumman as an aerospace systems test engineer, and will be moving to the west coast (El Segundo/LA) in a few weeks.

I just want to say thanks for all the fun that I\'ve had with you guys - even though I have only been a member for a short time.

MudNuts is a great club - I\'ve made many new friends and learned an unmeasurable amount of things.

(On the bright side, as part of my job offer I got them to pay for shipping my jeep to LA)

So I unfortunately have to say goodbye.  My last day in Rochester will be April 10th I think, as they want me to start working April 20th.

Hopefully I find another great bunch of folks like ya\'ll  in CA to wheel with.

I should be at the next club meeting.

Thanks again!
