:cheesy:we say that all the time, park that jeep on the corner and hold a cardboard sign " Jesus loves you,and I need some wheelin money":crazyeyes:
 
You should have probably the most awesome 2 door JK I've seen in the Valley. I remember wheeling with you and a group on the back way to Crown King.
 
YES!!!! An awesome 2 door build to watch!! I'm excited for you! An atlas is in my near future as well (4 months,,or so) I see your jeep is an auto. How did you finally decide on which ratio to get? 4.3:1 vs 5:1? I have an auto and with the super low first I'm leaning toward the 4.3. Your thoughts?

Nitto doesn't make a 42"!:doh: I found a deal on some 42" Goodyear MTRs, but I'm not crazy about them. (Weak Sidewalls) so I'm still looking. I may have to do the 40" Trail Grapplers.

Well, with much discussion with other Jeepers, I decided to go 5;1. I will be running 5.38s in the axles and was planning on 42" tires. Two of my friends are running atlas, one is a 4spd in a JKU w/ 5.38s, the other is a 2spd 5;1, both with 40s and autos. The one with the 4spd wishes he had a 2spd 5;1. With the steep rugged rock crawling we have here in AZ the 5;1 seems to work best for us.:thumb:

Same guy in our group just bought a set of the 41.5x15.5x17 radials, first day sliced 2 Sidewalls!:eek: replaced them and a month later sliced another one. They say the bias ply's have a stronger sidewall.So he went to a set of Maxxis. I want a tire for the road as well. These things cost too much to be replacing all the time.

Those on Vjc might be the same ones I was speaking of! He took them off, put the Maxxis on and the Rockers are for sale!
