35x 12.50 on 4.5" ?
No, I didn't build either Jeep, nor do I own either one. I should have mentioned this before.
You should address these questions to the owner of the Jeep. I don't have any affiliation with either of these Jeeps, I was just posting examples. Again, I should have mentioned this in my post.
That green xj is nice. I like the small bumper but i also like a little sticking out in the front in case i smack a tree or whatever
Is there any further mounting points for the bumper?
basically, people cut out their rockers and replace with solid steel.
IS the front end beefed up enough to handle it or do most people add some quarter inch then mount it?

no matter how good the deal is, dont buy dry rotted tires.
Each tire has a birthdate on it. You can tell the month/year it was 'born'. Also, I went to Discount Tire, and one of the dudes who's fixed a few flats (they do it free), gave me a free tire gauge for testing the tread depth. I think 3/32 is the lowest you wanna go or something, but the gauge was free. And he said they wont sell anything over 5 years old, and the ones i wanted were a great buy, 35's too, but rotted and 8yrs old.
Saving a few bux isnt usually worth what it 'costs' later on...do it right.
check your local tire shops. They will have practically brand new sets of 'used' tires for DIRT cheap if youre patient. I was told by the guy at Discount Tire, I just missed a set of 35" MTR/Kevlars only 6months old with no miles, for $50each. I just said "$50 each"!!!....be patient and dont go cheap. You blow a tire at 65+ in a jeep and youll be sorry, espeically as much rubber as a 35"...

yea thats for sure. So on the ad's dont go off of what people say % is left on them because ive noticed a lot of that. Also check the date they were manufactured. There are no tire places around me that i know that will sell used pair of tires for that cheap. Mabye a used place out in the woods il keep a lookout.
also i dont think its going to be going 65 anytime soon lol
