Oh will definately start a build thread. I usually flip jeepers off now days. Tends to get a response more consistently than the traditional jeep wave

Are you a squatch hunter? I like that stuff. Have you ever been to Northern Cali in the Redwoods? It's awesome up there.
Not a daily driver but would serve purpose as a backup vehicle and would probably drive it on weekends.Would be towed on a trailer to offroad parks. Terrain is large rocks mixed with mud/dirt, the dirty south . Out of a hardness scale of 1-5 level trails, 5 being the hardest, it will spend its life on 4s and 5s mainly but i will still ride on the lower level stuff when leading newbies around. Current wheeling rig has 37s and im needing a bit more tire than that. Budget well a hemi and tons wont get dropped in off the bat but im far from cheap and like to purchase better quality parts. Far as diy skills im way above average but not a fabricator.


Not a squatch hunter but i will watch it on tv every so often. Been called one a few times considering im 6'6" tall and a bodybuilder.

Sounds good. Do some searches for threads on 38"s/40"s you'll see the consensus on what is the right thing to do for a jku. I like watchin the bigfoot stuff too.

Yeah ive spent all day on this forum and a couple others searching about the bigger tire setups. 37/38 inch tires are really that point of diminishing returns as far as keeping the stock rubi drivetrain alive and tires out of the frame.
