@BobN - USAF would you have any need (or would anyone else in the group) for the sasquatch wheels & tires? I'm considering replacing my tires with 37s and the wheels would need to be changed to some with 0 offset.

Edit: Didn't think about it before, but I will also (definitely) be replacing the sasquatch suspension. I've got new coilovers, front UCAs, rear arms, links, and track bar all to be installed on the 25th.

Thanks for thinking of me. I have my eye on the tires and rims from a Black Diamond on the stock 17 inch black steel rims. I'm not ready to upgrade the suspension. Not sure what if anything I want to do at this point. I'm leaning more toward an aluminum Fab Four rear bumper (it's the one that looks like the stock plastic rear bumper but made from aluminum and has the sensors holes in it.)

I'll be very interested to see the black diamond wheel swap. I'm very tempted to get some steelies myself, but I'll be concerned with the weight when combined with larger, heavier tires.

@pandapaul, one of the reasons I'm not really interested in larger tires. According to a post, "Black Diamond original wheel with General grabber atx (265/70 R17) weigh 74lbs." and this copied from a Bronco6g chart: Big Bend
- factory wheel + tire = 58.25 lbs
- factory tire 32" dia, Bridgstone Dueler A/T 255/75R17 = 35 lbs
- factory aluminum wheel: 23.25 lbs
- wheel offset: 55 mm

Black Diamond
- factory wheel + tire = 74 lbs
- factory tire 31.6" dia, General Grabber A/TX 265/70R17 = 44 lbs
- factory steel wheel: 30 lbs
- wheel offset: ____mm

Now I'm thinking that the rim only picks up about 7 lbs of weight over the aluminum. I may keep the tires and just switch to the rims.

Weight is definitely a concern I have in mind as well. With the tie rods and steering rack (hoss 2.0 anyway) being a little weak, I'm going to be paying attention to what weight gets added to each corner
