Bumper says jimco, look on there site

Dirt sports magazine August 2009 there is a full write up.

saw it in hot vw's also

Im kinda curious what the rim width on it is. Im looking to get some narrow wheels for my truck to suck the sidewalls in. Like 15x6's or 15x7's

Can't tell for the photo, Likely 6 or 7. They do come in 4", in fact I'm going to a 15x4 beadlock with a bfg a/t 33x9.5 on my rears.

Think Id have any issues of busting the bead running a 10.5 on 6" non-beadlocks?

I cant remember but is that the one from the swap meet

sent from my droid 2 using a syringe

Don't you do a lot of short course? I'm not one to know, but I say the beadlocks would be a must with all the sliding around all the corners.

What I mostly do is alot like a "smooth" section of the desert. Short course isnt my thing even though I do 1 or 2 SC races a year. There is a short course section to the course I usually race on but its minimal, about 1/2 mile or so. What I mostly do is soft peagravel, sandy mild desert like terrain on old rock quarry property. 12 miles, about 16" deep whoops, a couple of mild hills, hooks into a small dune section, goes into the woods for a couple of miles, then onto the short course section. The tires are wide enough I feel its robbing me in the soft shit thats why I was thinking of narrow wheels to suck them in like the 4cyl buggies do in the desert. Everything I do to the truck makes it more purposed for the desert and takes away from its short course performance so at this point I dont care about being able to drift corners. I already took away that ability when I redone the shocks so I could rocket the whoops

a 33 10.5 15 works great on a 4" wide rim, 6" wide rim, and a 7" wide rim. I personally like the 6-7. I don not run bead locks.

Id like to try 6's but Im going to go with 7's because Ive concluded that the 6's have about an inch too much backspace, on a already narrow truck I dont really want to loose that 2" of trackwidth and I wont run spacers

Yes this was at the swapmeet
