If mud tires were good street tires everybody would have them...dont. worst pavement tire ive ever used. even my 2.9 with 3:45 gears could spin them effortlessly. i'll bet if i still had my 31" bfg mt's i wouldnt be in this situation right now...
Sorry to hear about your truck... rather than starting from scratch again on this one with a compromised frame could you swap your stuff to another truck?
I have just got the powertrain part of my build pretty much ironed out, I know exactly what you mean about not starting over right now... it was fun the first time but the second time doesn't sound like too much fun right away. Heck mine has been out and about for 2 months and it still doesn't sound like any fun.
