Hello everybody, wanted to post a few pictures of my Monty. I hope you Like 'um!  This is shortly after I bought her, had just added the light bar.  Had just gotten the outlaw II's wraped in kelley safari 33x12.5x15 Tires wouldn't have been my chioce but I got it all for free!  Had to get a little mud on the new tires  This is after a 2" body lift, but wanted to go a little bit bigger....  Here she is done for now, 3" of body lift  Next I will probably be fabricating a set of massive fender flares. I cannot find anything for the truck that will work for me. Check out my website for more updates. Thanks for checking out my rig, keep truckin' |

That's alot of BL  I think there was a guy on here with 5" of BL  Is yours an ES? You had the same factory wheels that came on mine. That means you probably have the 4.636:1 axle gears instead of the 4.90's. You can get your ratio off the plate riveted to the upper-center of the firewall, behind the engine. I got my 4.90's from the junkyard. Post up what you do for fender flares. ;D |

Yeah thats a bit too much body lift. But its all else I could do... I don't have the know how or the fundage for an axle swap.
The Truck is an ES, Stupid question I will ask is what is the difference to the differing gear rasios?

Hey Monty and Big Red, I've got the 2000 ES and it looks exactly as the 01 that I can see so far. I've got the same factory wheels as both of you guys. I've got a few questions, where did you get those fender flares? I need some exactly like those, or I'd be willing to buy some from you if you had extra. How much backspacing do you have on those Outlaws?
Thanks guys!
..oh also another question. Every ES is a 2WD right? Do you guys off road with 2WD, or are you working 4WD, because I've got a 2WD and was wondering how effective it would be if I were to offroad with it.

There are ES models that are 4wd, at least from 01-04 there were.
The 4.90:1 gears will get those 33's rolling a little better.

Does the roof basket get in the way of the sunroof or does it open all the way without any problems?
