Grip it and Rip it, what sheet metal?
Description & Modifiations
Bought it myself from one of my father's friends on my 18th birthday. Had 39.5" Super Swamper Boggers on it but one got slashed on some stray sheet metal while i was out trailin. It now has a set of 33" Super Swamper SSX's that i am not too fond of at all. I'll try to keep updated and start a list of the modifications.

i thinks its a pure beast. (said over 3 years ago by Brennen Bocook).
Thanks Brennen, I'm really trying hard to find time to make it better (said over 3 years ago by Kevin).
your 33" mudders look more proportional and i'm sure it's torque improved with the gears you have. 35" might be ideal. Too much carnage with bigger tires! (said over 3 years ago by David R.).
Thats a nice bit of insight, thanks David. Although carnage is kinda what i'm aiming for, seeing as its my toy and all. (said over 2 years ago by Kevin).
I would have to disagree, I think it looks more proportional with bigger tires because they fill up the wheel well...I would put some 40's back on! (said over 2 years ago by Rich Nelson).
I would go with 35" or 37" if you like to trail ride. Anything bigger will rub when you get on those hard trails with crazy flex. we should meet up at Badlands sometime. Though you will be pulling me out a lot on my 28" tires. hit me up my E-mail is jlaud (said over 2 years ago by Mike).
jlaudio_240sx@hotmail.com I didn't see that it got cut off until now. (said over 2 years ago by Mike).
Kevin, I just noticed Daves comment. Sorry, I wasn't tryin to be mean. I like scouts in flat colors, I like mine with its dents and scratches from the trail. Shows its used well. By your "grip it and rip it" tag, I thought you felt the same. (said over 2 years ago by Christopher Klapp).
Christopher I totally thought your comments were a compliment especially for a grip it & rip it! (said over 2 years ago by Rob Gojkovich).
Thanks Rob. honestly, It was meant as a compliment. (said about 1 year ago by Christopher Klapp).
