Yeah i was at school

It's funny about the swampers they are actually 33's but they measure just over 34 (with full pressure) which is about the same as a 35" bfg mud

Hum well we could possibly work something out..
I would like to travel and go wheel out of state, the only problem IMO with that is, if i do break down, or wreck my truck thats a LONG/EXPENSIVE tow home....
And i couldn't afford taht on top of gas/food money.

I am not going to be able to wheel in the beginning of august time frame though.

Idk man i like the tan color on the pickups, but that might be cool.

Start scribing your name into all your parts so if it ever gets stolen you can identify stuff if you see it later..

no balls!!!

Seriously, though, maybe if it was a tank...'course it could qualify as a amphib so green would work! I would go with battleship grey, green is soooooo over done. Or, even more random:
