Hey yall,

This summer I plan on doing lots (or as many as I can fund) of upgrades to my 2 door 6spd jk. Right now it has a 2" bb with 33's nittos terra grapplers (which SUCK in the mud) and I was wanting to go bigger and better. Below is my list of upgrades and I was wondering what order I should go in. I would hope to start with the tires but I just dont know if this is possible. Thanks and pictures or advise are welcome!

Summer mod list: Other suggestions welcome!!!!!!!!

5 35" nitto mud grapplers
3.5" Rock Krawler Mid Arm Flex
Xrc8 winch w/ synthetic line
XRC Front Bumper
XRC or Orfab Rear tire carrier
4 Old Man Eu long travel shocks
Riverraider Snorkel
Gears (4.56 as I drive from texas to florida often and dont plan on going bigger with my front 30)
Some sort of driveshafts (I guess when they brake?)

Thanks again!

 

looks like you've got yourself a nice build there and i look forward to seeing it when it;s all done

 

What size tires are you going with? I would think unless you are going to 37" you woudl be fine to do the tires first.

 

sorry.... i edited it... yes i will be going with 35's.... those will fit with my 2" BB? i dont want to cut my fenders

 

looks like a great list...

since you are leaning towards tires/lift at some point, would beef the c-arms and axles first and foremost...set a solid base from where all other major mods can flow...

- C-arms brackets (multiple vendors)
- axle sleeves interior or exterior...I think if you weld on the exteriors, you will have all the strengthening you need for up to 37s and any abuse you can throw at it

just my two cents...best of luck!

 

wow planman... thx alot.... i already have 8179 wheels but I will take into account everything else.... i think i am going to go with the 4.56's though because of the highway trips... i dont go crazy wheelin but i like to play in mud and probably intermediate trails...
