Finally got the 42s on and trimmed out, and did some wheeling with them and was impressed of how they wheeled compared to when I was on 35s, 37s, and 40s. Had to do alot of trimming, but they tuck and clear just fine without having to french the frame. The RIPP helps alot with the 42s, and moves them down the road at 70-80 mph no problem. Anyway I just wanted to share the progress I've been doing for the last 6 years and a few pics and show that a JK on 42s is very capable. Named her RedRock due to the color being RedRock Crystal, I know lame right...haha Thanks

Sweet Jeep man. Can you provide more insight on how you mounted that 3rd brake light and light bar on your Genright?

 

Thanks!, I just bought a led light from ebay, and drilled a 1in home in the middle and self taping screws to screw it into the bar. The 1in hold is because of the wiring and the round 1in plastic on the light itself. It was pretty easy.

 

Got to love the Half Doors. Your Jeep is a Beast. I got to see a Jeep on 44" Tires and its amazing how good they look with Massive tires. I feel like 40"+ tires makes any Jeep stand out from the crowd shoot this late in the JK game most of us are Rolling on 37's its almost like 37's are the new 35's. I got to appreciate the dedication to your Jeep.

 

Amazing build man! after having 35's for more then 6 months at times I feel like my tires are tiny compared to what others are running

 

Thanks, its been fun forsure!
Thats my rig on 42s and my wifes on 35s, its a whole new world...lol

 

Wow! Amazing Jeep. I guess it's true that everything is bigger in Texas.

 

Which one of the two would you say are more streetable?

 

Believe it or not, I drive my jeep on 42s daily and to me it drives way better than my wifes JK on 35s. The Ripp Supercharger and hydro assist make it like driving a Cadillac. It has no problem driving 80 mph.

 

Damn that's nice, and I'm sure it costed a pretty penny ....
