I've had this little Rodeo in the fleet for 12 years and 120000 miles and is probably the most reliable thing I own, it's never not started for me and never broke down once, even during the times that it's sat for months at a time. I figured she could use a little attitude adjustment and picked up some 33-12.50 for it, unfortunately without doing any research. Turns out it takes like 6"s of lift to get tires that size under a Rodeo :frusty: lol. I got the rears to clear for daily driving with 3"s of spring spacer but I've already ordered up a set of air bags to get it up another 2" or so and keep it stiff so I can still tow my boat with it. I got the front up with 4"s of torsion bar crank and still couldn't turn the wheels :frusty: and not being a fan of body lifts I busted out the cut off wheel lol. Took a couple inches off the lower fender opening and rolled the lip all around, massaged the firewall a little with the BFH and took a few inches off the lower portion of the front bumper cover. It was definately a pain in the ass but she don't look like a soccer-mom-mobile anymore lol.

Looks great Ray, wouldn't look like that here in Ontario after 12 years. The salt they use here in the winter would have had it's way with it.

Tinted windows might look good....
