I was getting at the Blaine story and what it has to do with a rear view and tire size on a Gladiator.
Blaine's story is a great example of somebody that learned that a friend with a mild rig did just fine keeping up with him on what trails he wanted to run with a "more built" rig. It's not to say that you don't need to build your rig, just that often that you overbuild. I think some people will never have the realization Blaine did. Saying a Gladiator needs 37" tires just screams not understanding in any way what a stock Gladiator is capable of.
