my newest jeep.

04 special edition, 6 inch lift, 265/65 nitto grapplers in 17" XD series

 

Gotta update, now 6" with long arms.

 

My 03 with Skyjacker 2.5 BB, 245 75 16 BFG KM2 on 16X8 Soft 8, minor trimming on inner fender. No rub.

 

Here's my grand... (I'm new on the forum btw, so hey everybody!) She's a 97 5.2 limited with 5.5" IRO short arms (fixed bottom, adjustable uppers), 35x12.5" mud grapplers, bushwacker fender flares, K&N FIPK, custom magnaflow 3" exhaust, front and back rockford component speakers and a few other small parts. Drivetrain is mostly stock, 3.73 gears (I think :/), dana 44a rear, dana 30 front, no lockers, 249 transfer case (I have a 231, but I need to swap it in) I'm looking into rebuilding junkyard axles soon. Either dual 60s or a 60 rear, hp 44 front combo... Right now there is only a very minor rub when steering max side to side (when pwr steering pressure relief valve triggers)

 

That's sweet! Has the bigger tires affected how hard the wheel is to turn? What about adverse mpg effects with 35's?

 

Not a great pic but its all I have on my iPhone. It's a 95 zj with 190k miles np231 tc. Runs great though!! 32" tires, 3.5" RE coils, pro comp xl shocks, quick discos, all new front end, moog. Next is axle swap and lockers, winch and armor. She is getting a face lift this winter to repair all this summers damage.Looking forward to learning some from you all. Later.

 

Holy sexy jeep

 

Not really no, turning the wheel on street is almost exactly the same as stock surprisingly. It says that I'm getting 12mpg which is only a couple less than before, but then again nothing is calibrated right and my speedometer displays the speed 6-7mph lower than actual. (But wouldn't that mean that I'm actually moving greater distances than the computer thinks, therefore getting a better mpg than it's telling me? idk...?) What I do know, however, is that when I let off the gas those heavy tires just keep on rollin . They're probably twice as heavy as the stock setup so theres a lot more momentum, but then again a lot more drag too :P. The tires are amazing though, one of the best - second to super swampers in the mud and hard stuff, but fairly smooth on the road. (And not that loud either) The main problem with this kind of thing is the handling on road... My jeep tends to pull a bit after big bumps and the maxed out short arms don't give the best ride quality on a bumpy highway, but once I rebuild some axles and get longarms... haha oh yeah axles... I really want some 4.56 gears, I used to be able to hit 0-60 in 6.7sec (beat out my friend's crown victoria police interceptor XD ) before my lift and now she's a complete dog, which is to be expected...
