Yes I don't understand any of the wording on the van. But I would probably figure it out if it was behind me with all the lights on
I believe the big RED CROSS is universal with first aid.

Re: Making the ride reddy

I really wish I had a good reason to run 44"s. In all honesty, it's often hard to justify 4x4 and 32"s for 95% of my driving. Maybe that just means I don't get out enough.

I really dig those fender flares... I'd like to know more about where they came from.

Re: Making the ride reddy

Wow! It is so awesome to have you here Larus. I would like to think that I understand completely the use of the largest tires possible with stock or limited axle articulation even with a lift.
In my area...the needs are similar.
Differential(axle) clearance is king. Second to that...not having limited slips and/or lockers in the differentials are the only thing holding a guy back around here.
Visually...people scoff at such a set up here. But you'll have the last laugh as you leave them behind.

Tire size is THE ONLY THING that increases differential clearance.
