I have some 35" BFG Blue Label Krawlers for 15" rims.  I would only use them for offroad-only, but they have a bunch of tread, no patches, no tears, etc.

I'll need 35's for the new rig too, I figure if I'm  going to do a ride or two more before I sell this one I may as well. I have my stock 17" rims that I could put a set on. It would increase my clearance and give me something to put on the new one right away.
  The TJ sold by that Friday so it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks Clark but I will need something I can drive on the road to get to rides and I have 17 rims I'm looking to put them on.
   I thought it would not hurt to see what's out there.

Could be tied to my ABS issue that popped on the way to the shop?

Meh probably not, And the coil over has already been expertly installed, so must be lubricating the slide pins on the calipers.

Where is your other shock now?

Meh, slight damage that I'm pretty sure he's getting fixed.

After a bit of investigation (standing around bs'ing), I concluded I would not buy that armor system for a trail Jeep.  The metal is very thin, and as someone else pointed out, the side and rear on a corner are separate pieces, so energy is not distributed across a very large area on a hit like he took at waterfall.  I think they tried to tie the side and rear together with a third piece, but it looks like it would only work if you hit directly on that corner piece.

I'm not slamming his choice, and I don't know if 1/4" plate would have saved him, but in a situation where you're fitting a huge vehicle into a tight space, that system has some weaknesses IMO.  It is great looking.

Of course, you could just drive better!

I didn't post about the armor since this isn't my build thread. 

No armor would have helped the way I hit the tree cause it was above the armor line and on the soft top lip area.  Savvy with the rub rail *might* have helped but most likely it would have been worse cause I'd be running armorless and still waiting for my order to come in.

Clark may not buy it but I've whacked that armor multiple other times with no issue.  That armor also allows for the 42s due to the increased clearance so I would still buy it again.
True on savvy!  Do they make a rub rail for JKU?

The only reason I posted it here was because it wasn't your build thread!

Mine aren't even 40's but they are sticky. I hope these are just as sticky as i will probably sell mine and go to a 40. (can't fit a 42.9 due to axle width). I noticed at hale there were a few places where @tcdawg had the clearance to get over stuff where i had to take a different approach to make it.

I think Sam's axles arent full width, they're slightly shorter. Not an issue with 39s, he just can't run big boy tires until his next axle swap.

There are a lot of guys running 40+ on those Ultimate axles, I don't understand...

The frame on a jk gets alot wider right near the firewall. My 39's at full lock rub the frame hard already. 42.9's would be really bad and probably also get into the sheet metal at the back of the wheel opening. @Doug and @BigPrince aren't your axles 72" wide? Mine are only 69" wide.

Well, we'll see how this works on a TJ frame.  The ultimate 60s have a 6.75" throw where the normal full width has a n 8"throw.

The frame on a jk gets alot wider right near the firewall. My 39's at full lock rub the frame hard already. 42.9's would be really bad and probably also get into the sheet metal at the back of the wheel opening. @Doug and @BigPrince aren't your axles 72" wide? Mine are only 69" wide.

UD60s are 69.5" wms, stock is 68.5", Superduty's are 72".  Sam would need spacers or less bs (believe he's at 4") for steering clearance.  As well, to run more than 40s on a JK, you have to run no fenders, metalcloak overlines, or run no fenders and cut a lot of the body.  To clear the Pitbulls on 72" wms, 4"be Racelines, AS had to roll my rear body line, run a lot of bump, and cut the corners off my grille.
Btw, your rig looks nice on those Treps...I saw it this morning.  They claim those tires are 14.5" wide, but definitely not at the tread.

Well, we'll see how this works on a TJ frame.  The ultimate 60s have a 6.75" throw where the normal full width has a n 8"throw.

Im sure you will be fine with the tj width. @Doug i don't see how they are doing it and not hitting the frame hard. once the longarm is complete im going to push the front axle as far forward as possible so that may help. I could also go to a lower backspace wheel when and if i switch.

i wonder what the concerns are about running wheel spacers and such big tires. I know 1 ton trucks run them alot and i've seen bouncers run them. Im sure for what we do they would hold up fine.

I imagine leverage on the hubs and more importantly, the ball joints....but a knowledgeable answer would be better to have.

Funny story that @BigPrince will enjoy. When i was purchasing my axles it was between the ultimate 60's and the dynatrac 60/60 combo. I told david at northridge that i wanted dynatrac to price them at 72" width. He basically told me i was crazy for ever wanting anything that wide and i would have all sorts of issues. blah blah blah. He also said everything would be custom and i was looking at over 20 grand. His unwillingness to help is what Ultimately (see what i did there) led me to my current axles. Then like a month ago i see dynatrac now has a 72" wide axle they offer. He also got pissy when i told him i bought the axles through allsouth.

Red is a little better than a trep in the sticky side of things.

Can run a kr3-s. It's a 40" tire. It would be like the sidewall of a trep but the compound of a red.

David sucks.  He flat out lied to me, tried to make me feel like it was my fault, and then told me I'd never see a deal like he was giving me - which he offered publicly 2months later.

I've never had any use for Northridge.  Marcus at River City Offroad is the guy I used to use before AllSouth.

I used to deal with david directly and would just text him what i wanted and he would get it shipped. Before switching to other companies for parts i found myself being handed off to a salesman. I think they are good for stock parts but once you get as deep into a build as alot of us are there are people out there with far more knowledge and better prices on the #kustom stuff.

The way you state that sounds definitive and quantitative.  I have not seen either of those, only opinions.

Do you have empirical data to prove reds are stickier than Treps.

Very true...wth.  I saw the unmounted pitbull next to the Trep...as the Trep was about an inch taller.  It would be interesting to know if the full tread collapsed on the bottom of the mounted tire when on the JKU.
