My JK will soon be off daily driver duty (HOORAY, i'll actually get decent mileage!), and i am contemplating 40" tires at the end of the summer. anybody try it yet?

Sure would love to see it. If I had D60's, that would deffinately be my plan. That and tube fenders. I'm thinking about going with 38.50's after I add tube fenders and wear my 37's out.

there is a guy over here with a TJ that is running super D30/D35 with 38.5's, i would think super 44's should be able to hold up 39.5 or 40's....

I don't think my wallet would handle 40" tires. Most are over $500 a piece, or $2500 when you replace them all. All I could say is ouch. :whoaisme:

If I had the money for stronger axles, and the tires then I would do it without hessitation.

Well if he's already got these on:

Dynatrac ProRock 60 Axles
JE Reel modified 1310 Driveshafts (welded by a mexican dude in la paz)
Then I'm sure another $2k for tires is no problem....in fact, its a waste if he doesnt get em. Go for it
