Post your off-road pics.

My wife and I had a blast on 'fins n things' in moab last weekend. as usual no impressive photos, as ive got a white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel and my wife prefers to be in the truck not in the dust

below is one shot from the second half. we had a blast riding up and down these sandstone waves, and struggled through the steps with no drama to get here, other than leaving some scrapes on the departure hardware

of note, we did two things to improve our departure angle for this trail. which was a persistent issue on this trail in our stock truck.

1) new 32" tires, for a tad bit more clearance/angle.

2) whacking the tow hitch repeatedly on the exit. now that the steel fins have been bent up i bet we get an extra degree or two

Will you PM me details on that tire!?!?

My 32s (265/70/17 Wildpeak A/T3Ws) fit well, except at full right lock, there's a bit of rubbing on the frame behind the tire. It has to be full-lock though and it's really quite tame. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

My 32's (265/65/18 Wildpeak A/T3Ws) fit perfectly no rubbing... except the brake line which was catching the side grabbers on the left tire at full left lock. Some quick bending of the brake line bracket and all good.

Will a 32 fit as a spare tire under the bed?

Yes it will. I just changed mine out before leaving for UT just in case something happened and I wasn't stuck there with just the spare. 265/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grappler

i have read a 33 will too.

our new 32 fits fine. it does subjectively look bulkier down there, even though the 255/75/17 duratrac is a 10" wide tire compared to the stock hancook 10/5". i was worried it would sit low enough that it might take some offroad rock hits, but it looks like that was a non issue. no evidence of scraping on fins n things which is about as burly as we'll get.

Maybe not the thread for it... but since we're on the subject... has anyone put a stock wheel down there instead of the steel rim for the spare?

TRUTH! I'm out to get dirty this week at some point too. Mostly just wanting for Santa Margarita Ford to process my 4x4 switch order so I can try out TM!
