mine is about 107 with 37's, we have a lot of tight trails here in Idaho and I think it is about as long as I would want to go here. Still climbs great and don't get high centered.

EXACTLY! our trails in Idaho are very tight.
I think any longer then 108" and you're way too long.

my wheel base on my 4runner is 111. it has good angles for what im doing. climb alot of ledges and steep down hills where i think the wheelbase makes it more stable. i would like to get it around 115 but i would need to get a longer rear drive shaft. the only down side is i find my slef doing like a 20 piont turn on those sharp corners wich sucks.
When in doubt throttle out!
