Moby looks great with 40s, but I liked the look of it when it was sitting on 37s more than the 40s. I don't know, I think it's too much with 40s. I won't argue the superior performance aspect of larger tires in rock crawling and general off-road situations, but I think the Jeep looks a little disproportional with 40s. I guess I have to see it in person to appreciate the size and aggressiveness of the beast. Nemo looks absolutely wonderful and should no longer be embarrassed to be next to Moby. Nemo can hold his own now!

Great builds!

what a beautiful to have the top on
lol just kidding, i would have to agree on the opinion about the 40's being too large. however it would boost your off road performance alot. Nemo looks awesome. great job

Call me crazy but...I'm pretty sure those are two different size tires??? That front passenger tire is HUGE compared to the driver side tire. WOL must be messing with us...

we're definitely gonna have to do that - a side by side comparison on the trail would be way cool to document.

the jk really looks at it's best with 35's to 37's as it looks as if that's what it was made for. i personally like the look with 40's but i do realize that this ain't for everyone. as for nemo, we really are happy with how she's looking now and eager to test her out on the rocks
