Those wide wheels may do in various parts pretty quickly
Looks very cool but this is 'cooler' to me if your going to stress axle parts 8)
Can add a set for about $500 (used)

That's a good deal. I always seem to see them for over 1.5k, guess I should start watching more. I wonder how brutal shipping is to Alaska?
