Hydro Blue JKL build

[LBJ]

I vote 40's,  I think on something at that wheel base , it would just look better.  37's on a lifted lj are perfect.

Some light reading for you on the JKL stretch. This is one that Poison Spyder built for us several years ago. Hell of a Jeep and I'm still sad they sold it. It went to RFA Racing in Chicago and they use it as a pre-runner for KOH and Ultra 4 events now.

Looks like they do a clean job.  What all is going to be involved in your hardtop stretch?  Are you going to re-do the side-window glass or stretch around it?

Regarding 37's or 40's: how much work are you willing to do to make a 40" tire actually functional on a 106"-ish wheelbase?

Stretching the top and replacing the windows with longer ones, regarding the stretch and hardware.  Decided on 37s for now with the option to go to 40s when they wear out.  Dynatrac axles handle 40s just fine and that's what will be under the jeep.

I'm not sure I could stand doing another build. Good luck to you though.

I'll definitely being watching.

This happened today, forgot how big 37s actually are.

Now imagine something 25% larger in overall volume.

Sick burn!

But yeah...quick tire purchase!

 

[Hendrix]

Mounted one up to see how it's going to look.  I still plan on painting the rims the same color as the grill.  But I really just wanted to get one mounted so I can fit it and figure out if I want to go this route or just give in and buy beadlocks now.

I really love the look of moabs and bigger tires, though beadlocks would be sick. What wheels you thinking? Slabs?

X2 on the stockers.

 

[bobthetj03]

How can you even fit a tire like that on a stocker?

Bryan was running the 35" size on his snowflake wheels at Moab.
