Since you’re running 20’s, I’m assuming this is a city/highway build. You might check with the guys at Urban Automotive - most build shops are off road and are running 17’s. I’m sure UA would have a couple of suggestions.
Why would you put 20” wheels on an off road vehicle?
Listen, I won’t judge you for doing 20’s. I don’t think it’s what the Grenadier is for, but you do you, and if you are ex-military, thank you for your service and you do whatever the hell you want. BUUUUUT - out of concern for your spine, you MIGHT want to ask a place like Urban what the ride is like on 20’s with stock suspension. I have not heard of another forum member running 20’s, so
I do not take this off road, I have a restomod D110 with a Ford Coyote Supercharged power plant. I luv the look and feel but do not off road either one of them. I would bet 90% of these never see mud. In Houston Texas now, most owners here just like the truck and the utilitarian style it has.
I am a veteran, I was an Army deep sea diver, hard hat. MOS OOB
I went to Navy Dive School in Panama City FL. Tough school for sure and I was fresh out of jump school.
As a member of the British Royal Navy (Clearance Diver), in the 80’s, we used to do a lot of Saturation trials in Panama City at that time.
35s fit at stock suspension height, so it should fit with your wheels... With the caveat being that your wheels are 9" wide, and you haven't stated the offset, which may induce some rubbing at full lock (not worried about compression as you won't be taking it off road)
That looks like an LCU being used for a dive ship, they were great for that. When I was in Korea we used that and was fantastic.
I guess that could have been the original style of vessel however, this is a purpose built dive vessel built by Hyundai Industries and fitted with a Drass Twin bell, 18 man saturation complex rated at 350 MSW (1200 feet) and fitted with a Liebherr 120 tonne main crane.
I was thinking of the pic with camo LCU in the background?
Sorry Army diver. Missed that. That was Ajax Bay, Falkland Islands, 1982. Exciting times for a young person. Not sure I would enjoy it so much these days. LCU’s were operated by Royal Marines and Army. They certainly stood the test of time.
