Big gay tow and show rig

bigiron · Feb 24, 2011

So we are doing up our tow rig.....it is a 2000 excursion with a 7.3 powerstroke 13" of lift and 38"s on it plans are as follows....5.38 gears,bushwacker cutout flares(to open up the wheel openings for the new rubber)and that is going to be some M/T claws in the 46x19.5x20 flavor wrapping a set of 20x14 fuel octane rims.....up front it is getting a ARB winch bumper....and a set of big rig mud flappers hanging on the tail......I will post up some pictures soon

13" of lift and 46" tires spells instability and a gutless tow rig.
Let us know how it works.:awesomework:

mine are not worn out on the wheeler ......yet..........but I am afraid that the truck would roll if I got a flat with 54"s on it while parked......I just want to wear out the 44"s first.......my scrawny 60's would not survive with 54's

Big Michelins tow great, wear great, drive great, never get flats and are very reasonable compared to swampers or mickeys.

They come in a convenient 20 rim size too.

hey did I mention I might have some michelins? :redneck:

Cool idea from a guy with the balls to do it. Right on Kelly! :awesomework:

That's the longest I could find

we are going to have to build a custom drop hitch for sure. I am thinking with a load bearing hitch as well because of how high it will sit when all said and done.

I remember when that thing was a normal size excursion years ago.
