I am currently looking to put new shoes on my '78
FJ40.

I currently have 33 BFG´s and 5,29 gears. .
My rig is mostly used for offroading. These tires
are not aggressive enough for me.
I would like something a little taller
than my current ones. Here are the tires I am
considering:

Swamper 36x12.5 TSL/SX - I'm concerned that these are
a little tall and a little narrow and that the rig
might be a little "tippy".

Swamper 35x15.5 TSL/SX - These seem like they might
be too wide

Bogger 35x14.5 - Seems like a great size, but not
sure about anything else with these.

I would like people who have used these tires to give
me their feedback. Things like tire life, road ride,
general impressions, and of course offroading would
be appretiated.

IROC 36x13.50-15LT or 37x14.00-15LT.  The 37 is actually a little shorter.

My thoughts are either the 36" SX or 36" Iroc on a 10" wheel. Widens them both up pretty well. Do you have much clearance to go larger than the current 33" ? Are you willing to trim sheetmetal? The Bogger is a decent tire on the trails but is super loud on the road. The SX and Iroc are both a bit quieter on the road and I preffer on the trail, a bit more versatile.

Yes, I´ve allready trimmed some...  Now testing q78s on 8" which seems to be too narrow. 
.

36SX on 10" could be good. has anyone pics of fj on these?

I'm using the 35x15.50-15 SXs on 10" wide rims and they work great here in the desert and rocks.
