With that drivetrain and tire size alone i would stay FAR away from the Ftoy idea.....i have been daydreaming for a LONG while now about building a One ton V8 rig....mainly because of the need for more power when everything is wet and a longer wheelbase. My Ftoy does great when its dry, but when it gets wet that's where more power and wheel speed would be nice. As a "Crawler" they work great, and i am sure the area out west they were designed around they do very well. The Ftoy it really is not good in the type of terrain we have in the south....just my opinion. It can do it, but i am always left wanting to do more.And like others have said about breakage with a larger tire, that was the very reason i bought 37s because i knew with 39's it would be a matter of time and the parts would start letting go....i wanted reliability and part longevity over running a larger tire.I have measured the diff on my Toy axles with 37 Trep compared to my buddy 60/14 with 43 SX stickies and there is only around one inch of difference in ground clearance....and that really shocked me...none of the axles are shave either.
