There's a few ways to make them angrier.

A 315/70R17 (34.5" +/- ) tire is pretty common and you can get anything from AT's to MT's in that size. In low range off road with 285HP, I don't think 35's would be a problem. I have no idea what it would take to completely clear 35's on the JK. Marky or Don would be able to offer more insight.

If the rest of the frame rail is good, I would just fab a new captured nut piece and weld it in. If there is other deterioration, then the rail should be replaced. My friend Scott Cairnes of Central Mass Off Road (look up Central Mass Off Road on Facebook) has completed MANY repairs of this nature a...

You guys are riots.

If I had a JK, I would install 35" tires with NO lift and trim to fit. If you want a bit more belly clearance, add a small spacer lift and have fun. Adding the PROPER spring lift and accessories will exceed your budget by a LOT. Several old members of Baystate ran 2" or 2.5" lifts on...

Awesome! VERY clean look.

I saw you guys at the bank on the way home from our Cub Scout Turkey shoot.

Looks like everyone had a great time!

I have to take some credit here . Other than Joe's pink flame job , there was very little color out on the trails. I would like to think Mona had some influence in that department. Love to see it catching on . FjR68 The flames used to be red.... :lol: Hope everyone is doing well. I've been working ...

Crank Position Sensor.

It wasn't worse than my old Avatar.

Frank, the ones you saw on my rig are the Dynatrac plates.

Look up JE Reel. I think they have a 297/760 sized joint for 44's.

I'm due for a refresher myself on joints and will be doing some research.

I broke an "X" joint in half at F&F and my Warn 4340 30 spline inners and outers came out fine. I decided to run good old Spicer 760's and still have the same ones from Moab. They both survived my entire surplus of hub fuses and the last couple of years with drive slugs.
