Out with the old, in with the new. Also upgraded from 33's to 35's, now I'm going to have to get some flares on and do some hard thinking about the filler necks. How have you guys dealt with filler neck clearance?

Thanks guys, I'm liking them but haven't had them down the road yet. These were 75% of almost everything else out there. I really liked the General Grabbers on the road but they were so totally worthless in the mud and snow.

Those look great,you're flares look ok to me,do you want a different style flare?I know some of the flares have the recess built in so you don't have to cut anything.I customized my filler neck and installed it on the inside of the bed,now my quarter panel is smooth with no holes.

I like the look of the flares I have, the body is all glass a and they're molded in. I was running 33's and under flex the rear tires contacted the fronts of the fenders & tore them up. These 35's will be worse for clearance so the flares are just opening the wheel wells up.

I like your filler neck, may go that rout if I get into bodywork & paint again. That's a cool setup!

I've been running the Mastercrafts for about a year in 37's and have been very pleased.


I took them for a spin tonight, can't believe how quiet they are. They'll probably get louder with wear, what's your experience with the tire noise? How are they wearing?

They are wearing well I think I've only got 5-6K road miles on them, and untold trail miles. they have gotten louder with wear but I've feathered all the leading edges wheeling them out west. They are not chunking out and have proven to be be nice and sticky in the dirt. over all I've been very happy, especially for the price.
