Thanks SCHLEPPN02!
Burton....I'm DONE! For now! If I spend anymore money I may need a GoFundMe for a place to stay because the wife will give me the boot! By the way....I'm a former squid and a buddy of mine have been trying to figure out Sapper. Can't it, for the sake of oodles of detail be likened to a Seabee?
Thanks Offroad_Elements!

Sapper is the army engineer version of ranger but with explosives. From my understanding Seabees are engineers as well but construction. Too many titles in the military....

Cool. Thanks! So many tabs at work and I ask a buddy (former Army) and he's like, "dunno".

Thanks! I doubt they'll be much different. Not much in way of sketchy trails but those 35" Trail Grapplers loved mud! What I will say is that on my 20 mile commute to work this morning, they were quieter than my Nitto's...Not sure how or why. I didn't rub today...Always good. I should be able to say whether or not it was a solid choice after this weekend!

Try full lock in reverse... that's where mine rubs. I have RK lower control arms so they may sit lower than what you have. A couple of my buddies run those wheels on 37's and use 2 inch spacers (I still need to buy spacers for mine. It's driveable for sure, but I suspect it will be a more pronounced when wheeling).

Not how I wanted it. Buyer for my 35's backed out because he'd soon have to buy tires with 70% tread life left. but, I already had the new wheels and tires ordered.
I really dig it and I can't wait for this weekend at Jeeptobertest to break them in.
Old setup was 18" Black Rhino Sidewinders with 35x12.50x18 Trail Grapplers. New setup is gunmetal 17" Fuel Trophy's with 37x13.50x17 Toyo Open Country M/Ts.
Added Teraflex bump stop extensions so I have ~4" on a Rubicon Express 3.5" lift. May need to trim the front of the rear inner bushwhacker fender near the pinch seam as it rubbed a smidge on the highway in a dip.
Only one pic for now because it rained then got dark.

Thanks for the suggestions and compliments everyone...Heading home in a few so I'll see how she drives at least on the road!
