2011 rubi here did 35" in the first year ... guess I know what I am jumping to next - in a few years when I am educated enough and have saved up enough.

Does any have 40s with the aev rear bumper? The aev site says there bumper will hold up to a 40 inch tire, but the question is how much will it rub when actually on the axle? If they rub I will be looking to extensively modify my rear bumper...

I am torn between the toyos or kevlars. After doing some research seems a lot of people have had problems with the kevlar sidewalls. Is there any other tire you would suggest?

After seeing the Toyo's and the Nitto's in action on the same trails I run, I am really leaning towards those two brands. I am especially interested in the new 40"x17" Nitto Trail Grappler. I will probably be buying the Nitto's Toyo has also started making their Open Country M/T in a 40"x17" now, previously you could only get that tire in 40"x20", but they have seen the light apparently. The Toyos are great tires too!

Thanks brother! I have participated in two JK Experiences with Lo2aY, he is a pretty good dude too, although I will admit his JK has gone far beyond mine in the last 8 months. Especially since he put the big stroked 7 litre Hemi in it! The side shot of mine with all the stickers is actually Lo2aY's photo skills.

I would really like to go with the nitto trail grappler but haven't heard when they will be available. I am wanting to do something here soon.
