9.50 is probably pretty skinny for a mustang wheel but good find. 

33" is still pretty big too.



I have been looking for some BFG JK take offs that are like 31-32's

Not sure if skinny diggers would dig or not, something like a 30-30 thats 8-9” wide is what I’d like to do.

5.3 chevies are VERY in the spirit as far as being cheap easy and everywhere.

My first instinct is to be VERY excited. My second is to be terrified. That’s a lot of horses for activities.

Staying 4x2? If so, not nearly as scary.

I don’t think we could make 4x4 chevy frontends hold up to jumping with stock motor placement plus stock suspension design. Too much weight to live.

I’m not sure what the 4x2 frontend look like but at least we wouldn’t be trashing cv axles constantly when ball joints blow apart.

I think they will naturally need to create a class for the big motors. But it will be very difficult to find tracks that have the appropriate run off and safety barriers in place for that much more speed and weight.

That's the description of the fear I'm feeling. Runoff and barriers are the need. We can't be having headons or hitting Jerseys square on, I don't want to design things that will let us get hurt. If we get into v8 4x4s we'll be going plenty fast to be thinking about crumple zones and safety cells in a short course world so a tee bone or square hit to a wall doesn't kill somebody.
