285/70r17 BFG KO3 on Black Diamond alloys. 3.73 gears are fine with this setup. I’m wary of going larger due to stress on the transmission/drivetrain. on a 2 door I don’t think it’s necessary (aesthetically) and for my needs off road, the 33” tires provide adequate clearance.
One more photo from the July 4th weekend. Rooftop cargo bag installed. Performed well. Minor leak due to operator error - I installed the bag backwards. The zippers encompass three sides of the bag, which has a fourth non-zippered “hinge” end. That sans-zipper side should have been facing...

New [to me] OEM rack and Yakima platform.
More pics to come when it’s “under load” for our July 4th travels (to Canada and the Lake Huron shoreline).
Amen. I see some pristine Bronco Sasquatches and Raptors in the Trader Joe’s parking garage and entering/exiting the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club. Filson trim just reflecting the actual use case for 4x4s that cost $80,000.
