Awesome!
This is what I came up with that worked VERY well.
<?php if( have_rows('tabs') ): ?>
<?php
// vars
$c = 0;
$class = '';
$linkid = get_sub_field('tab_id');
$background = get_sub_field('background_image');
$title = get_sub_field('title');
$description = get_sub_field('content');
$tabs = get_field('tabs');
$row_count = count($tabs);
?>
<div role="tabpanel" class="tab-panels largetabs">
<div class="tab-content">
<div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane fade in active">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<?php $c = 0; ?>
<?php while( have_rows('tabs') ): the_row(); $c++; ?>
<?php if( get_row_layout() == 'image' ): ?>
<li class="<?php if($c==1) {echo "active down-arrow"; } ?> <?php if ($row_count==1) { echo "col-sm-12"; } elseif ($row_count==2) { echo "col-sm-6"; } elseif ($row_count==3) { echo "col-sm-4"; } elseif ($row_count==4) { echo "col-sm-3"; } elseif ($row_count==6) { echo "col-sm-2"; } ?>" style="background: url('<?php echo the_sub_field('background_image'); ?>'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover; background-position: top center;"><a href="#<?php echo the_sub_field('tab_id');?>" data-toggle="tab"><?php the_sub_field('title'); ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<div class="tabcontent container">
<?php $c = 0; ?>
<?php while( have_rows('tabs') ): the_row(); $c++; ?>
<div id="<?php echo the_sub_field('tab_id');?>" class="tab-pane fade in <?php if( $c == 1 ){ echo "active"; } ?>"><?php echo the_sub_field('content'); ?></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!--end container-->
</div><!--end tabpanel tab-pane class-->
<?php endif; ?><!--endif tabs rows-->
</div><!--end tab-content-->
</div><!--end tab-panels.top-->
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'page-widget' ) ) : ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'page-widget' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
