Some trails require 37's just to try them. But to each their own.

What is that brand of fuel carrier you have? I like that a lot.

Did you cut your fenders but leave the running lights on?

I had 37s and moved to 38s. I almost went 40s when I chose 38s. The changes from 37s to anything larger is quite a bit of work.

Most of your stock stuff will break if you wheel larger wheels/tires so be sure to build appropriately.

Every time I've bought tires I've always wanted bigger later on. 33s. Then 35s. Then 40s. Then I wanted 42s. Now I have 35s and want 37s only because it's less work than the move to 40s.

I never thought of 37s....I did go with 33s and with a few months ownership (very happy) I find myself planning for 34s maybe 35s.

Crazy once you get your new tires you think wow these are really big.... It's not too long after you get use to them and think they are not so big and the next size up is now necessary

Gotta love the Jeep addiction

Good thread here too
