Don't think I haven't thought about converting the Pete one day to a toter home.

Here's my Jeep. I love this thing!

I just got a fabtech 2.5" lift/leveling kit for my 03 rubicon, and bought bfg tko all terrains 285/75/16 which equates out to 32.9 x11.30... I was going to go a little more aggressive tires but I do 500-700 miles a week and the bfgs are getting about 75k miles if you keep them rotated im on highway 98% of the time.

[Chris]

I buy lots of tires. Not yet have I ever found anything that rides, wears or runs quiet as well as the BFG TA/KO. They're on everything that they'll fit.

If I'm not mistaken due to the length laws that truck came with a shorter wheelbase with a single sleeper. From what I recall it wasn't until later in the 80's the doublewide sleepers were becoming more popular. Sweet ride and truely a classic. You should hire me to drive it and make you $$$.

A little Eye Candy.

Is there a purpose to stretching the frame like that or is for looks only?

[THEJOKER]

Is there a purpose to stretching the frame like that or is for looks only? It does make a better ride but definitely limits your ability to get in some tight places. I grew up driving tandem day cabs and this truck can give you the pucker factor at some docks.

[Scarab KV]

In most cases it's for that cool "Look'n Large" look, but it's h!ll on the fuel mileage.
Some flat bedders will load long loads forward over the open space to avoid over length permits.
I ran NYC every week so it was out of the question for me and I was too much of a MPG nut to look that cool.
