    Hopefully, tonight. I have some more rescaling and uploading to do first, but it's off to San Fran today. The wife's never been there.

    And yes, Matt, those rocks are *big*!

    The rims held up well but the perfect backspace should be closer to 5". There is a lot of rubbing that wasn't there with the Pintlers. It's a fine balance with 33's.

    Here are the pics from Day 2. It was harder than Day 1!















    OUCH!
