Looks pretty awesome! Now all it needs is a diesel engine and it would be perfect.

No, I'm not a big fan of replacing the stock engine with a 350 Chevy or similar V8 - if you're gonna step up in power, oil burner is the way to go.

With the 42's you could turn and hit a bump, huh? ;)

When I put the 46" XML's (which measure out to the same height as your big IROKs) I opened up the front fender forward and rearward to accomodate steering and articulation. Forward wasn't bad. Rearward left a 1" ribbon of fender to attach at the bottom. I also cut into the front bulkhead of the cab and put a flat plate there as well to give the needed tire room. If you're gonna wheel it with those, you'll need room...

Look great though!!!
