Default Colorado Emissions Test

If you miss the mobile sniffer that checks emissions as you drive by then it will be some work! hahahaha!

I found out they cannot do a rolling road emissions test on rigs with 34"+ tires because of their equipment.

Poor Sir William had to go into public looking like this! 245/75r16 v. 35x12.5x15

Poor Sir William missed the Christmas Party with the rest of the other Rovers.

Passed no problem. I'm very appreciative to have a club member in my neighborhood who was willing to put his rig up on axle stands for the night so I could do the exam early Sat. am.

Sir William was upset he missed the party. I was attending a meeting that should make my life much better, and much more free to go off road next year!

Was the party fun Jim?

I agree with the statement that it still looks good with the smaller tires.

Curious. What axles and diffs are you running with that size tire package?

Stock 10 spline. It's done fine over the parking blocks at the mall. Should I upgrade?

Maxi drive, Rover Tracks, ARB carriers & lockers, 3.54 r&p

T-case is a 1.4:1 high and MaxiDrive 4.3:1 crawler gears in the low range

I'm sorry, maybe the picture is making it look o.k.

Looks hilarious in person!

Just as silly as the 35's wedged between the Disco I wheel wells l borrowed the littles from.

Thanks. You've done a bit of work.

Actually is a guy in the Rover club I'm in is running 33's(95 RRC) on stock axles. Been about a year and so far so good......now that I say that, they'll snap next time out on the trail.

All depends on how you drive and what you're driving on and luck.

I've been running 33's on stock 10 spline front and stock 24 spline axles for 6-8 months now with no issues. Fingers crossed

I think the truck looked good on the small tires but it's an awesome beast with the 35's. I'm still in awe of your RRC Thor and hope that some day mine will look that good.
