I have some pictures of the Wrangler now after I have completed the mods I wanted to do for now. Took a while to get pics.

2" suspension lift, 1" body lift, 32x11.50x15 BFG KM2 tires, OME steering stabilizer, front link quick disconnects, front and rear diff protection, steering gear box skid, and other things.

looks AWESOME! I've always liked the White "Sahara Edition" models with the Khaki Hardtop and dark tint. :smiley_thumbs_up:

38x 11.50, They make an 11.50, where? What gears you running? 38x 11.50, don't see that size, it must be a mistake. 32 x 11.50 15" ? Can you get a closer picture, can't see anything ? 38's with a 3" lift ?????????? No more questions.

Looks good Will!

I went down to my food plot to move some blueberry bushes on Saturday, and as soon as Ollie got out of the car he locked up on a really pretty point. Was a grouse in the edge, and I had to call the dog off, probably too early for them to be nesting, but didn't want to take the chance.

Fat finger moment at the keyboard; sorry 32x11.50xR15 are correct. That would be too much tire if there were such a size.

Oh and it has 3:07 gears for now.

I thought so, no disrespect. My Comanche came with 3:07 gears, switched to 4:56 then 3:73. Nice Jeep from what I see. I can't remember half the stuff I used to know. Rolled three CJs and got knocked in one of the rollovers. I've been around Jeeps my whole life and I'm 54 years old now.

None taken (damn fat fingers).

I'm looking for a D44 rear w/4:10 gears and a high pinnion D30 from a 4cyl XJ for the front. I think that will fine for me and my needs; 33's will the biggest tire I'll ever go.

Looks great!
Get 'er out on the trail now.

Any plans for lockers? That would be my next mod. Do that at the same time as switching out the gearing.

From what people say a rear locker in a D35 rear diff is a death sentence for it and not worth the $$$. Locking the D30 front is more likely for now maybe. I do want to get a D44 rear diff and then will be looking into a locker but that's down the road or if I break something sooner than expected.;)

We will be out this Saturday at Badlands off road park with Schoat333 and some others. I will find out how is does then and get some trail dirt on it.:smiley_thumbs_up: I imagine we will get some pics of the trip to post.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

We just won't be beating on it as much. I have to make sure the wife has a vehicle for work so she can help keep us in the lap of luxury.:D

I was hoping to take both Jeeps this weekend for some pictures but
Mrs. Will H is staying home and relaxing with the hounds.
