    What do you think of my new wheels and tires on my BR?

    Just a few pics of my new wheels and the ITP mudlites on my BR... Like my 2" hitch? I think the back need 1" spacers.... Still gotta get the side covers and the tank painted.... What do you guys think?

    Any possibilities of a close up of the receiver ? That's the most useful mod I have seen on a Bigred in a very long time and I WANT one on my 250es.

    Just got a little bored at the shop one day and whipped that hitch up... Cut my stock hitch open enough to put a tube in, reinforced the outer edge, diced the corners, put a little heat on it, bent the sides in a tish, fired up the tig, and POOF... Just like a big hitch...

    Yeah, the stock hitch was way to low for my trailer, so I had to change it up... Got a converta-ball on the draw bar too... 1 7/8" or 2" no problem...

    Looks good. I've been talking about putting those on the back of mine for years now.
    Give us a ride report. I little tippy, I guess - hence the spacers.
    Do those tires rob much power?

    Very close to stock... I machined up a .250" spacer for the front to get it dead nuts centered...

    The offset is only .250" narrower than stock, so its not noticable... I just want to put 1" spacers on it to poke it out a bit more... The tire rob power? No, but you wont spin them easily... Doing a wheelie out of a mud hole is sick!
