When I had the blue '86 Trooper, one of the best days was when the General Grabber 31" tires went on, mounted to the stock steel wheels. It just transformed the truck, even with the stock wheel fitment and offset.
One of the long-standing goals I had with the Trooper RS was to get the original wheels it came with - a full set, including the spare, of American Racing Outlaws - mounted on the 31-inch Grabbers. It would transform the truck while also offering a nice upgrade for light trail driving.
Taking the recently powder-coated Outlaws over to Melvin's Tire Pros (which matched Tire Rack's price for the tires), I had the tires thrown on and dropped them off with Jay today for eventual mounting on the Trooper. I also gave him a set of Old Man Emu shocks and he'll throw those in when he's got the truck back on the lift for a transmission service.
I also found more rust....sigh. I hope this thing stays with us for a long time once it's done.
