Why Stak over Atlas or NP241? Tire size? PICTURES?

Good question, the 241 is driver drop and chain driven so the choices for gear driven cases were Atlas, Stak, or Chevy 205. At the time of ordering the Atlas was on back order for the application. The Chevy 205 was fine but by the time you get the lomax gears, case, adapters to the Jeep trans you are over the price of the Stak. The Stak came through right on time and the price was right. Plans for the future are a 231 or a 241 gearset in front of the Stak. Will probably do that when the new engine and trans goes in next year ish. Will have pictures posted up as soon as I get back in town. Right now the LJ is on jackstands in my driveway with the axles, skidplate, and T-Case removed.

Tires are 42x14.50x17 IROKs on Allied Beadlocks.

It's already been started. The axles, tcase, steering box, suspension is all gone. I'm out of town until Thursday and we have a big run in Llano, Texas this weekend but as soon as I'm back I'm wrenchin. I hope to have it finished and out of the driveway pretty quick. The wife is a little hot under the collar that it's been there this long.
