Hmmm street tires, little to no lift, HUGE snorkel & an exhaust tip that'll surely be a pancake, bend up & seal off the exhaust the 1st time they go through a ditch.

Sorry to seem so objective but that's an odd machine. Just thinking of the time & effort to put that snorkel on, wow. Maybe there's a lot more done to it we can't see in pics.

Taking another look it "seems" the tires have M/T on the side, can't really see the tread though.

Yeah, but he might be on a budget. Not everyone has all kinds of money.

I just want to know where he off roads since I live not to far away...

yea,heck,i dont have 600 bucks for a set of tires. I buy used ones for 20 bucks,burn em up then buy more.

He can at least get rid of the tailpipe before he pancakes it.

i was planing on doing something like that with lights facing back like that, as for the snorkel idk..............i dont plan on doing a lift cause the trails up here are small and bigger trucks tend to actually get stuck a little more up here, atleast in the trails

Lights facing back are a MUST if you do anything at night! Even with stock or LED reverse lights I wanted more & having whats behind you lit up is even more important because you're either using mirrors or cranking your neck around & you can't see the ground immediately behind you. You only see what's 10' or so beyond your blazer out the rear view mirror/back tinted window. Now try to manouver in the dark with no immediate view behind your blazer lol. Seeing beyond that can save a chitload of trouble & $.

Yes I've had issues/trees/bushes, ruts etc in the dark

That's actually a good idea. I'd have no idea how to hook those up to a switch though.

You also must consider that if you mount them that high, the edge of the roof would cut off the angle of light reaching the ground closest to your blazer. The best spot is tucked up right under the bumper or right on the edge of the roof.

The bumper spot would work good for me since I have a hitch to protect them
