You guys have seemed to miss the key phrase in his post.
He wants 33s.
It's still bullpucky. 33s will take you places 31 will not. If an inch can hang up 33s where 35s can clear, in inch can hang up 31s where 33s will clear. You can find just as many if not more of those "inches" on trails besides the "hammers".
The top trails Blaine is talking about in Moab are rarely done on 31s but done all the time on 33s. This is true in a lot of places I've been. Actually I think the difference between 35s and 33s is less than 33s and 31s.
Robert did some Hammers trails on 33s. Could he do those trails on 31s? I don't think so.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I like the way my Jeep is now..... I'd just like it, well, a little higher off the ground with more ground clearance!
