if I had the money for them I would, since that's eventually what I would want to be running.

 

Damn lol

 

have you ever wished you did 35s over 33s? and with your current set-up?

 

Trying to pick out tires sucks. Running a 15" wheel will save you a little cash but from what I saw during my search is unless you buy a set second hand they all run relatively the same price vendor to vendor.

FWIW I do like my nitto's but I tend to see them on prissy JK's more than anything else.

 

Every day lol. Not worth the risk to my stock axles though.

I think I'll go straight to 37s once I upgrade

 

I mean built stock axles can handle 35s no problem. But at the same time why build them for the price of a 44/9 swap which can handle 35s stock.

As of right now I'm planning on a having a beefed 30/8.25. But I'm sure if I read into it enough, I'd feel able to do a 44/9 swap.

 

I'm keeping the D30 for now. but the 35 has got to go at some point.

 

My 35 held up fine with 33s, granted all I did was play in mud. I'm sure rocks would have killed it. With work the 30 can be a very strong axle.

Chromleys
Sleeved
C gussets
Trussed

 

No problems with my D35 the other day, and Rob knows I wasn't being gentle.

 

I think of it as a ticking time bomb

 

tim. all 3 of us had D35s, but yes you were not gentle at all.

you with 33s, me with 32s and aftermarket LSD, and damien had 35s with factory LSD.

for my D30 I have a mini truss that goes in between the pumpkin and UCA mount and I plan on keeping the axle shafts stock. because when I regear I'd rather have the axleshaft break and everything else be fine, then have the gears be the weak point.

 

yup, a little cheaper than 17s. I was actually surprised in the price difference, to the point I was thinking 35s.

you have secrets??

I plan on getting a truss and gussets, just didn't plan on doing it so soon if I did go to 35s.

you have what some call, a reputation..

 

A well deserved one.

First time I wheeled the YJ was Sunday. I started out gentle and cautious, but got comfortable pretty quickly. I ended up following all the lines they did without getting stuck, and I have open diffs compared to their locker/LSD setups. I couldn't be gentle the whole time if I wanted to keep up.

 

yeah. no way you could be gentle with all that. especially that one hill climb that we struggled to get up. i told damien watch him get it in one try, and look what happened.

 

I have faith in open diffs, they keep me from trying things I probably shouldn't. I'll probably do a rear locker down the road, but I've got other wants before that
