Ok so I bought my 14' 2dr Willy's back in December, it's got barricade bumpers front and rear, a 3.5" lift, and cut flares. Well I deployed in January and I had plans to do wheels and tires and a few other small odds and ends and just use it as a daily. So to replace the stock wheels and tires I ordered 15x8 ProComp series 52 wheels and 35x12.50 Mastercraft Courser MXTs and sent them to my house (the girlfriend isn't too thrilled). My next big purchase will be sliders, then after that it'll be upgrading stock axles to handle the extra rolling mass. I'm going to do the obvious stuff too like mirror relocation and hood latches, and also a set of GraBars.
So here's how she sits now


Here's what the tires look like compared to my girlfriend

And the wheels

Coming along quite nicely.

 

Looks good. Jeep ain't bad, either.

 

Thanks here's the Jeep now, thank goodness for good friends that'll hook you up while you're deployed! I think it looks great.

Badass! I spent a decent chunk of my deployment money on a lift and other goodies. Just gotta wait until June to slap it all on.

 

Thanks! I have more to do but I can't get to it until I get back. I'm now planning on a D44 front axle just to save myself a little headache. For what I want it's cheaper and easier to build a D44. I'm just hoping to run into a good deal on one when I get back

 

Not sure why it hasn't been said but Thank You for your service

 

Nice! I'm planning on finding a D44 to build for now. One day I'll move on up to tons when I have a DD. Definitely excited to see more of this build!

 

No thanks are necessary or expected, but thank you for your support! That's almost as rare.

 

Don't bother with a d44. The only difference between a d30 and d44 is the ring gear size. If you are serious about swapping axles, look at d60s. Otherwise, truss and gusset the d30.
