Thanks, there is a lot of money in my rig BUT unless I total it this Jeep will be my daily driver for a LONG time to come!! Next up a 6.4 hemi and Atomic Axels!!
I have about 500 total in those tires because I got a Great deal from a person who was having a hard time moving the combo. Yes the tires are on par with Krawlers in price but ...ABSOLUTELY blow the Krawlers out of the water on performance. I have a set of 37 inch Krawlers sitting in my garage that I took off to install these so I feel I can comfortably give an honest assesment of both and the Krawlers are NOT in the same league as a competition compound Maxxis when it comes to traction and appearance. These tires are the baddest tires I have ever had the pleasure of wheelin and when you stop at a red light with these on your Jeep EVERYONE takes notice

BTW - If you are looking to get rid of your front D44, let me know. I call dibs if you're going to be getting rid of it.
I would love to swap out my 30 for a 44 so I can mount some 37s. I've been toying with the idea of investing in the 30, gears, lockers, etc. but if your 44 is on its way out for a set of atomic axles, well I would sure be happy to take it off your hands!

Yeah...normally I would say, "Good excuse for an up-grade" but I really like having the factory flares on there
I have thought about tube fenders but none of them would match the lines of the front AEV bumper and I kinda like "the look" it has, as is. It was really my fault for not adjusting the bumpstops to compensate for the wider stance and agressivness of those side lugs.
Thanks for the confidence in the other thread but I am a ways from the 6.4 and atomic install.......like I mentioned in another post, I am back in Afghanistan to earn money for the next round BUT when done....LOOK OUT!!
There are several other mods in the line up but don't want to give away my build plan just yet!!!
the 44's should be available within the next 12 months or so
Shame it took a Bite out of itself

You are easily going to be in the running for the most bad ass 2 door. (Theres a thread on it if you missed it.) Keep all of us updated on your progress.
