Same jeep, new thread.

Managed to pick up some nifty bits last night for a deal even the wife was ok with me not passing up. i've been talking about needing new tires for WAY too long, these IROKs have been sitting out in the sun for 12 years now.

40" Nitto's! 6 of 'em! so this also means new axles for sure. i have everything but the 3rd and shafts to build a matching axle to the TJ for the back. full float 9" with front 60 hubs, etc. i'll build it exactly the same width so all the shafts match, and use the same gear ratio but with a different diff. i love having spare parts, and less to keep track of. for the front i have a basic GM Dana60 that needs gears and locker. both axles will get pushed out by 1-2" as well.

they will be mounted on the exact same wheels, might as well at some point see what a TJ with 2" of lift and 40s will do
