sahara0207 12-12-07, 06:37 PM im thinkin about goin with 39.5" IROK bias plys. what you guys think? just curius what you guys have to say?
my jeep tj has a 8" LA kit on it. Rev111 front fenders and trimmed fenders. along with some spidertrax spacers for some extra width untill i can get wider axles.
I think you must have quite a trust fund.
sahara0207 12-12-07, 08:01 PM lol i dont starve cuz i dont make much money... i make great money for a 19-year old personal trainer its just all my money goes to my jeep and my sports bike... and my surfing trips... lol then i have no money left to spend on food and what not. always broke! any ways. but i have to say im lucky to have a girl friend that loves my bike and jeep and insists on surprisen me with parts for them... ect. my rockers and steps, my rear axle shaft, motorcycle exuast ;)

Unless you're running dana 60's with LOW gears or something comparable I think you'll be in for some frequent breakage.

That sounds great, looks great, but I gotta tell you, if you're really planning on that set up, come watch Paul and some of these other guys wheel thier rigs on the rocks with 35's and 4 in lifts before you spend all that $$$$. It's magic what these guys do with half of what you're talking about. ANd very little breakage. Nothing worse than a pretty Jeep broke all over the trail. 2 cents

sahara0207 12-14-07, 08:29 PM i allready have everything but the tires. im running 37's right now and like it i just ordered some more irok 37x14x15 bias ply for the trail. just seein what every one whould think.
Tomb Raider 940 12-23-07, 01:06 AM looks great, but i read and article about stock axles, no matter 44. that they arent strong enough for that big of tires. might last a year if you baby it. i read this in 4 wheeler, where the people write in to them.
do you wheel alot?
sahara0207 12-24-07, 06:27 PM oh ya. chromoly

Tomb Raider 940 12-29-07, 07:18 PM stop I am jealous.
sahara0207 12-29-07, 07:34 PM by the way that r-runner be hind me with the white top on it is my uncles. it is bad ass.
Tomb Raider 940 12-29-07, 07:36 PM yeah that is the way i am leaning too. but i hear these stories about 37's and so forth are too big. but i have too admit i like that ride. the fenders are the ones i want but they went out of business.
Tomb Raider 940 12-29-07, 07:38 PM any "in action" shots
sahara0207 12-29-07, 07:39 PM i still want the 40's!!! lol but i decided i need my 9 inchers and coil overs first
Tomb Raider 940 12-29-07, 08:08 PM axle truss. so that would help on the bigger tires....right. any up clse pics. am debating on this
sahara0207 12-30-07, 12:50 PM i will get you one when i get off work round 5:30
Kodiak Spirit 12-31-07, 09:49 AM I am looking at the steering linkage and thinking that is the weak link for those big tires, maybe I have just seen too many taco'd links...
Sweet jeep though! I like the look, but it is a *little* too clean for me :D

my thoughts exactly.
sahara0207 01-02-08, 11:00 AM well its a hd conversion on the steering and its just fine, but the truss is on the front cuz the axle tubes flex from the pumpkin a lil and cuases some probs. so i put the truss alont the 30 inbatween the pumpkin and upper controll arm mount
