thanks for the reply. maybe 33 bfg's would be better then. i like the look of the thornbird though. i like the set up on yopur truck. it is the look im after.

Everybody that I have ever talked to with the thornbird's, say that they hate them on the highway. However, I do love the way they look. Defintely gives the x some "character".

dgibson where do you off road in virginia beach?or do you?

*dgibson* · 11-19-2003, 05:41 AM

there's a spot off militry hwy and ..... for some reason, I can't remember the name of the other street. It's mostly 4 wheeler trails back there, but since the x isn't that wide it works. Other than that, I go to either Hatteras or GWNF.
