42" NITTO TRAIL GRAPPLERS - An Exclusive First Look Thanks to EVO / What do Ya Think?

[RESURECTIONJK]

39” KM3’s. They’ll be better suited for for what I’ll be doing with the truck.

KM3’s FTW. I love my 39’s. I’ll likely stay with these like... forever. So smooth. Tough. Work great on the rocks and in Moab. Oof. Great tire.

Approximately much do they weigh, compared to 37’s and 40’s? Just curious.

Wow, just wow. Looks really good! I just put 37’s on our Gladiator and the thought of 42’s well.. speechless. I guess I need to find a 3rd job now. Can’t wait to see it tackle some trails.

I feel like we’ve been waiting forever for these to show up! I’m in the market for new tires and I almost talked myself into holding out for them but I think I’m going to pass. I know I’m going to be the odd man out but I just think the 42’s are too much tire. Might be great on a buggy but I foresee a lot of broken axles coming from these even for those running 60’s or bigger. Still pretty cool to see a 42” Trail Grappler though!

Should help the 40 spline market.

I definitely see this as a need for the guys running a D80 rear end to help with ground clearance, and finally rationalize owning a D80. Never really thought that was a practical axle until now.

I was looking at these before I bought my coopers. If I hadn't gotten such a good deal on them I probably would have. My KM2's were great. Sure they run a little small but thats the story of my life...haha.

I wish 42's would fit on mine without more cutting. That looks awesome! :thumb:

Looking at ordering axles for my gladiator and want to run the same wheel and tire, what axle width is on your, and how do you like the axle width with this setup

UD60's are 69" wide

Would a 70" Axle help with Rubbing?

As in, 1/2" more on either side? No, not really. The rear is fine as is. Up front, we set everything to be bumped out the DTD's with a set of 40's. I need to figure out how to install some kind of bump stop extensions on the axle.
