Thanks! I like the 265 hp and 325 ft/lbs of torque.

Also, welcome to the forum.

 

 

The loader had to pull me off from the trail because I snapped the pass side ball joints and axle shaft lol. My front tires are about 5 feet off from the ground. That was a sketchy ride. Have all of my parts to put it back together and should be ready for the next outing in June.

 

I'm a lucky guy! My girlfriend had a photo shoot the other day and these were her weapons of choice:





Can you tell she's been helping me "work" on the Jeep haha.

 

How are you liking the MTR's

 

...

 

Hope she returned them.

Great wheeling pics!

 

I like them! They do amazing! But they should for the price that they are. Very impressed with the sidewalls on them. They clean out good and the traction on rocks and trees is pretty good too.

 

Haha! She did.

Thanks man! Hope your foot is healing well and look forward to seeing you at Bundy next month.

 

By the looks of things, you kept the factory short arm mounting points & welded he arms to the radius arms?? Any more details on that?

Kinda wanna keep my 3" lift but on full widths and 35's, eventually 37's..

 

I kept the stock mount location. With a radius arm set up, the angle has to be perfect for the suspension to work. I cut the ford radius arms down to the "c" part, then welded .250 wall dom tubing at the correct angle to them. Then braced the crap out of everything. I think that you should do either a 3 or a 4 link suspension set up.

With your 3" lift on 35s or 37s, that wont work. If you want to cut gobbs of fender off, I still don't think they would. Maybe if you bumpstopped the crap out of it. But you could put a coil spacer between the coils up front and longer shackles in the rear to net you 5" of lift. And I could see that to be do-able.

What are you thinking on axles. I know you said full-width, but there are many options. If I were to do it again, I would go dana 60s at both ends.

 

Honestly, I'd probably do a 44/9 as it would be all I needed. Unless I found a 60/14B for decent so I would never have to worry.. I honestly want to run the 37's military gsa's as you can get a set of 4 around 80% or so out here for 350-400 bucks. That can not be beat anywhere.
And not to much serious wheeling, honestly its a camping/Expo rig, but I want it bigger! And 37's is what I'd like to run, with as little lift as possible. Its not a street queen, but it wouldn't be a hard core offroader either.

 

looks awsome! love the license plate!! lol

 

nice pics man. All of them

 

Then I would just build the d30 up and put a 8.25 in it if your not going to wheel hard. You should be fine with that. If you want the full width look, take your flares off and get a big offset wheel. It's expensive building axles. 3" of lift just won't clear 37s.
