I have an older 3G with the 4.56 gears. I can run 37's if I open up the front of the rear fender wells. Been a few to run 40's on their 3G's.

I installed RCV axles in the front, along with the Dynatrac freespin hubs.

I’m laughing bc I’ve had this discussion in my head numerous times over the past few years, I’ve always loved power wagons and would totally own one. But it won’t fit in the garage and my wife doesn’t want it parking in the driveway since it takes up so much space and I don’t want to park a 65k truck on the street. Plus, I do love Jeeps, not sure I could live w/o one, always seem to come back around to them no matter what.

Clearly, the best solution is to put the Jeep on 37s and then buy a power wagon and put 40s underneath it and go buy a new house to fit all of that.

Maybe one day, I’ll start with the Jeep....for now.

I grabbed what they called composite shims. Got onsite to find they are not composite just plastic...

I'll look into that when the Z needs one. I'm still on the stock one too. Both cars are '13s but the G needed one almost 2 years ago and the one in the Z keeps kicking. The winter really takes years off a batteries life

That Walmart brand yeti knock off is pretty good and it just fits in the Z. It's not quite as good as a yeti but for those that stay within arms length of civilization you'll never know a difference. And it's less than 1/3 the cost for the same size cooler

Isn't Eastwood still alive?
