What size tires are on the 715 when you first got it?

I didn't think you could use the phrase m715 and finished in the same sentence. As long as I keep coming back to this site, I'll never be finished. Although, it's nice to say your finished, meaning from now on whatever you do to your vehicle is because you want to, not because you have to. I'm not sure any of us ever want to be truly finished. We love our hobby to much.

so uh anyone else have trouble running duel exhaust on the pass. side with a chevy 350.......1. the headers tubes are long thinking about cutting holes in the frame rails and putting round tube in the rails 2. if i don't how do you get past the transfer case? 3. should i just do a Y pipe and run it all down the driver side 4. or what the hell have you done to make this work lol

I have duels on mine with a big block, the headers I used are really close to the firewall and I just melted my girlfriends boot the other day. I have some pictures posted in my thread I think. If not I know they are on my photo bucket page that is linked in my build thread.

might be a little late, but back to mattracks... I've always wanted a set since I first saw them. Living in Maine, we get plenty of snow and I've even seen a few homemade versions for snowmobile trail groomers. Over the past few years I have acquired more tools and skills and I decided that I'm going to try and build a set this summer. I'm going to build them for my lifted cherokee XJ and when I get the bugs worked out (and save some more cash!!), I want to fab up a set for the 715. Has anybody seen or heard of someone doing this on a 715, other than the una traks the military tested?
here is what I'm going to base my build off of, seems to be one of the more simple methods:
