Default Trail worthy fab wheels

I just wanted to post my experience with the Trail worthy fab wheels and how they work with my set up. I have a 07 unlimited X with stock gears and axles with C gussets and a 3inch Teraflex lift, stock trimmed fenders, stock trimmed bumper. Superchips flashpaq in "Tow Mode" K and N intake and a banks monster exhaust. So with that out of the way, the wheels are awesome. I have no issues on the road, and can still cruise at a comfortable 65. long hills are no fun, they never where really, but i do not drive enough of them to be raving mad about not having gears yet. I recently went on some trials around me and aired down to about 5 psi, and they performed awesome. I was worried about axle components but nothing happened. I would definitely recommend these tires and wheels to anyone. The customer service is awesome and they are built great. Sorry about the long post, but here are some pics

Those look sick! I can't wait to have saved enough $$ for a set. I'll need to do some gussets and gears though since it's my DD. One day...

Did you get run flats? Or just the 37 inch tires?

I am running the PVC inserts with the 37's they sell with them. Kind of a bitch to install, but worth the time in the long run.

Awesome. Would you mind Posting your gear ratio and mpg. (I know it is probably rough but I wanna know how bad is bad?)

If you don't mind what backspacing did you end up at?

I have no clue what gears i have. I know they are stock, but i have read that they may be 3.23's or 3.73's, and Ive even read 4.10 from the factory on here. I need to jack it up and rotate the wheels. MPG's on the gauge is reading 11.5.
