That’s some terrible up fitting my friend.
Not sure what you mean. There are a number of 37's that the wheel range is from 7.5-9.5 inches wide. The wider tire and the narrower wheel lets you air way down and not worry about losing a bead.. Looks a ton better than these brodozers running 12.50's on 12 inch wheels.

ok, let's parse this out a little bit. Are you trying to add 33s to a Big Bend? If you are, you should probably be ok. The 255/75 and 285/70s are technically 32 and 33's respectively. In the real world they MIGHT be a half inch different in height.
Indeed I am and thank you for the input. I guess my main question is ... could the 33's fit onto the stock Big Bend wheels? And if so, would they "look" ok, or would changing the wheels be a better option? Lastly, I'm hoping no additional lift would need to be required?

The 285's will 100% be fine on a 7.5" wheel, and no additional lift should be needed. The ONLY concern is backspacing on the factory wheel. It might get a little tight with the wider tire, but we won't know that until they are released. If it happens to be an issue, they do make a 255/80 r17 which is a hair taller than the 285/70, but the same width as the original tire.

Great info! Thank you again. I am hoping all this will be an "option" when the build & price tool comes out. The look of the 33's is the sweet spot for me, so that left me with the wheels at this point. But at least I have a better idea now. I'm sure when this is all over with I could work at NTB!

Does the soft top have flip up rear glass or zip out?

Has anybody seen any pictures or video of the modular hard top with the rear side windows removed or better yet being removed?

It’s not too hard. If you’ve driven a bicycle, it works the similarly. You have a 3rd pedal that you press when you shift gears. When I got my first manual, the salesperson took the time to teach me. I’m sure if you ask the dealer would show you
That is pretty close to how I explain riding a motorcycle to someone..... "can you drive a standard shift car, can you side a bicycle..... well a motorcycle is a bicycle with a manual transmission."

Just let them know you will charge them $100 a month for that advertising space.
I did something similar when I bought my new Focus. I told them to either remove it, or knock $500 off the price to compensate me for advertising their dealership. It was gone in 10 minutes. ?
