Picked up the STT Pro 37x13.5-18 tires mounted on my LRG 106 18x9 wheels. Have the rear axle about done setting up the 4.88 gears. Tonight is bar night, so I'll finish out the rear axle tomorrow after work. Note that the front axle is not actually in the Jeep, the tire is resting there for effect.... to get the idea of what she will look like. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=642749"/> <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=642750"/> <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=642751"/> <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=642752"/>
Looks good. I want to see those 37s on that 2 dr when it's done!

Dude, that's sick. I've been looking at doing something very close to that, only with a different bumper.

Just Notch both ends of bumper where its inbetween frame rails. Aside of that it's pretty simple. Grill removes pop clips below and 6 or so plastic fasteners up top.
My tires are literally 2 inches or less from being even with beer now.
Great approach angle.

Goodyear Duratracs vs Nitro Trail Grappler
I have a new JKU and don't want to take this jeep off road but, I want the rough look. I put on Nitto Trail grapplers this week and they seem to be too hard on the road. I know I'm going to loose money but, does anyone know if the Duratracs would be a better option? I'm worried that with the Nittos they are eventually gonna make things loosen up in my jeep and I'm going to have problems. Anyone have experience with something like this? I do not have any mods on my jeep just the tires now.
