Shut it

Well leave it to the infantry to loose sight of the objective and go running off in the wrong direction. No worries, let the scout talk you back onto the target. But Ill be amazed if you can actually find your way back to this thread to read this.



I guess I COULD run larger tires, but Im really just not interested in doing it right now. If you saw the price tag on the parts thus far, and the things I still have to order you might understand. But if you have any extra 40 inch tires lying around and rims with a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern your willing to part with for free/next to nothing, then ill just run my 35s and be happy with them for now.

Exactly. read the thread before posting people. I can only imagine the price tag. Congrats on an amazing build.

Tire size isn't the point of this build up.

Thanks bman

I dont think that people realize I am NOT working with an unlimited budget here. Seriously though, if anyone knows someone willing to sponsor this build let me know. I will be going to as many events and shows as possible, once its at the point where its show worthy.

hey man I got prorocks and right now i'm sitting on 35" BFG's all terrians. I was going to move up to a 38", but I'm thinking right now 36" IROK I've heard alot of people say they like them more then the 37", I'm planing to have this thing stretched on 42's in the next couple years, thats why I got 60's, weather or not dana 44's would withstand a 35" tire and 400hp this guys going bigger, so why spend money building axles that are going to be swaped in the future. anyhow I like the jeep, and I would of put those same axles under the jeep.

Much love for the combat medics. You can always count on them to tell you that the bone sticking out of your skin is normal, and to eat before you take the motron they just gave you lol. J/K you guys are awesome.

Im glad there are enough people with a level head to actually see what Im trying to accomplish here. Try to have some more pics up tomorow. Hopefully I can get this wiring thing squared away, and then we can get the engine in. Ill try to have a video of the first time it starts up, whenever that is. No guarantees though.

I don't know if anyone answered you on this but yes, you can use the stock cluster. You just need to get a new tach

Gotta love the sound a v8 powered TJ makes when its sitting next to you at a stop light. Nothing like pooping in your new shorts when it takes off.

Oh and by the way. Mainres > Army haha
