It would do great if you also install the gears and an engine to power it.

Anything is possible, but that's a whole lot of tire to move, and stop also.
And you said hard wheeling. I can see some breakage coming.

Man with alll the parts in place that would be a great ride. I know this shop that could hook it up for you and they are not to far away. Maybe just in Texas. Sounds like a fun biuld.

Your best bet is to just start browsing (or searching) through the Extreme JK Tech forum. Lots of threads on 40's and D60's, with all the info you'll need to get your rig set up the right way.

Also be sure and do a little research on any of the engine 'goodies' you're thinking about before you drop money on them. General consensus seems to be that most are not worth the money for this particular engine.

According to the gear/tire chart i saw last week, if you had 5.13's and 40's it would put you back to a stock gear ratio with the manual trans on a Rubicon.
