Adam, sorry for all the questions but here's another. What's your actual mounted diameter on your Geolanders? And do you know what the weight is on them? Thanks again, I'm really liking the look of those 38's on your rig.

I imagine you are selling your built up 44's? Let me know a price and I'll spread the word once your ready to sell.

Last time we talked months ago my jeep was down. Well it still is down but should be ready within the next couple of weeks! It went though a massive change also! Hope to wheel with you once your back.
So far i'm about 4 grand in...found a killer Ford HP60 that's already built; 5.38s, Ox locker, chromoly shaft, CTM joints, and warn hubs. Just needs calipers. Also picked up a full float 14bolt with a detroit and chromoly shafts, just needs shaved and regeared. Axle-wise, i should be into both for under 6 grand, which includes trussing them both. I sold the 44's before I deployed to a guy on here in Alabama (Kenzila), along with the shocks and arms.

Why is yours down again??

No worries at all man. The tires are pretty light for their size, 80lbs apiece in the 17" rim size. Once they were mounted they measured right at 37", which is about normal as far as i know.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Damn you did find a great deal on your 60 for sure! Your axle set will be great also. A very good buddy of mine runs built Dana 60 front and 14 bolt rear and they seem to be indestructible. With already selling your 44's that's is great that you only have to come out of pocket with just a few grand to have your new setup. Your jeep is gonna be a beast when your finished man. Look forward to seeing it when your done. Do you have a time frame as to when you think your jeep will be ready to wheel again?

My jeep has been down due to the custom cage my buddy has been building for it. Also King 2.5 IBP coilovers. Sprintex supercharger, here's seats because I'm a wuss in the cold! And some other things then it should be done! Or at least till I talk myself into a Atlas transfercase! Crap I think I just talked myself into it..

I can talk myself into anything! It's a problem of mine. Congratulations on the babies also! You will for sure have your hands full for awhile. Hope you have enough time for both the babies and your jeep man! I'll be looking forward to seeing it.
