Thanks Ron. They are IROK Super Swamper Radial 39.5x13.5R17 (ROK-09) Tires, not quite 40". Yes she still has the 5.83's, but I'm not aware of any gears in the 6's for these. what I actually need is an NP435 rather than my NP435D. the non-D has a 1st gear ration of 6.68 vs my 4.56. the Granny first in the non-D would put my ideal (800 RPM) ground speed at about 2.3 MPH compared to the stock speed of 2.2 MPH. I should be at 3.4 MPH with my D Tranny.
The wheels are from MRT (Marsh Racing Wheels). The wheels are 17x10's with a true 7.75" backspacing (3.4" more than the Stock Budd wheels). They custom built them for me, and has since built non-Bead lock wheels for other PW/M owners. They are the same company that built the Sargent Rock Wheels, and they had not previously built our lug pattern, but I supplied them with a drawing and they did a great job. Give them a call (http://www.mrt-wheels.com/) and let them know you saw mine for reference.
Yea, she's a cutie and growing like a weed. that picture was taken 9/2005!
Later,
Will
