    I bet you'll be able to fit 31" tires on there! I'm thinking these Goodyear 31x15.50x15 tires would work nicely.

    were do you guys think i should run the exhaust out the back or out the side from the motor out the side would be easier but not sure because of fumes i know some 6x6 have exhaust out the side
    what do you guys think?

    You could run the exhaust up in the air like a tractor - then you don't have to worry about holes in the body.

    But any low branches might bend it back for you.
    I think i would run the exhaust out the side like argo does and just suckup the fumes.
