Default savage with moab

Can anyone post a pic of a savage with moab xl tires? Preferably with the body on. I cant decide between the moab and the moab xl, I want to see if the xl looks proportionally out of place. Thanx in advance

I've run the Moabs (not the XL's), and honestly I don't recommend them for any reason. they're huge, ponderous, and heavy and put a LOT of strain on your drivetrain and suspension. they're way ridiculous.

I ran my truck once with em. here's a pic of it before:


and here's a pic of my truck AFTER that ONE run with the Moabs, and what you can't see is the fried diff and twisted dogbones

thats why i was thinking the xl tires, there much lighter so should be easier on my drivetrain, but i want to see how they look on a savage before i go and spend the cash

But the XLs are made for the Pro-line beadlocks aren't they? Those wheels are heavier than normal wheels, offsetting any weight savings you see from the skinnier tire.

I believe you can use them with other wheels too but there were narrow beadlocs made for the moabs not vice versa

just FYI the XL's are taller than the normal moabs, and not much skinnier
