38s are a good size,
44s are a pain in the a$$ if you want to keep it low like i am.
also i need the floatation the 44s provide foe snow wheeling

Ive always thought Boggers were poor snow tire with the bad leteral traction and their tendency to want to go strait to China.

Cool build it will be nice to see how low you can keep it.

boggers or claws work best up here, you still have to cut the boggers but work very well at 1-2 psi.front diff isnt in yet but i will post a rear pic asap

hmm...this sounds like an interesting side project... I'm gonna see if I can engineer some sort of scaled down version of that CMS suspension steering do-hicky on my RC car lol

And that rear shot of your runner is crazy. How are you going to deal with those tires taking out the entire body when they're stuffed? lol
