Thanks Guys!

I knew it wasn't the best idea but needed some reassurance from the group.

I will probably finance through Discount Tire this spring/ summer.
it just sucks being a former employee, I know how much markup there is on wheels and tires.

So what should I get? 35's? I have a manual w/ 3.73's and don't want to re-gear too.

I run 35's on my auto with 3.21. It's not like it's undrivable. I've been running that way for 2 years. I would say don't let the gearing stop you from buying 35's. The constant grin that is on your face for like 6 months is priceless.

I'm slowly buying the pieces to go to 5.13 but in the mean time I take it out of overdrive on the highway and enjoy my 35's.

I will say this. 35's are small on an unlimited. I knew that going into it but I want to beef up the D30 before I go to 37's.

Yea I'd skip those too.

I'm looking at maybe 35's or 37's in the spring along with a lift and gears. This is assuming Uncle Sam doesn't bend me over too much on April 15th.

will be getting my rig ready for 37 falkens this spring/summer. A lil RC BL and a little trimming of the fenders, pinch seam, and rails and ill be on my way.
Actually i would really like to go for a set of sliders that are wide enough to act as a step so if anyone is in the market for rubi rails I may have something for you this spring

its not much im just not getting all the math involved. for example finding all the networks for 198.168.12.0 / 28

what im not getting is the /28 everything else is making sense (28 out of 32 binary numbers ( 11100000 ) are being used but the freaken MATH!!!! ..i can swear that ive read probably 1000 pages of "how to's"
for some reason its just not clicking..
i know how to read all of it and whatever but once its on paper and the professor ask me to actually do it..a big blank walls pops up..
you got any tips that could possibly make me understand it better...ill pick you up a beer this saturday if it works lol!

i personally not sure how all this networking fits in to bio-medical engineering but whatever i have to learn this to achieve something for the company.
