Great jeep. I've been thinking of a black/red theme myself, but don't think I would have thought of all you did: red grill inserts, red stickers, red rock lights, etc. Well thought out. Damn good job man!

Looks Awesome dude! Keep posting on how it drives with 3.73 gears and that dana 30 up front. I want to put 35's or 37's on mine as well but I am scared of the dana 30!!!! lol.

37's took my MGP from 18 to 14....now THIS is a hit I'm willing to take because I was actually expecting much lower (more around the 11-12 area)...so 4 MPG for the bigger tire that I would have regretted not getting? I'll take it.
The 37" Toyo's ride nice, so if you are considering a 37", I'd full recommend them due to their quality, not much road noise, and how smooth they ride. As far as power loss, yes there is a noticeable loss of power off the start of the line as well as progressing into higher speeds on the highway. However, I'm willing to deal with that as well because I have a light foot and didn't drive my JK fast prior to the 37's, so I don't care.
I will keep everyone updated as to how things last as things go along -- we shall see how the 37's impact the d30 over time, but as of now -- no negative comments to make here.
