Why not both? It’s kinda the holy grail if you enjoy both the breaking (adventuring) and the fixing, ya?

I’m running 4.75 backspacing (which was perfect for 37s) wheels. It has 1.75” spidertrax spacers now for the 40s.

Equivalent of 3”. There is plenty of space to run 3.5” though.

Correct, that’s the aluminum Genright. It’s great, I very much recommend it. The welds are gorgeous. It’s been dropped on rocks, backed into trees, and has tagged many various objects as I maneuver the giant truck through trails made for tjs :P

Zero rubbing, they are handling the 40s like champs.

Those should fit, and Yukon makes good stuff. Those are pretty expensive though, you could also just go with the Dana Chromoly upgrade: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/10043168-dana-spicer-dana-44-advantek-rear-left-e-locker-axle-shaft

I also get better gas milage than most. It's weird, since I'm running 40s.... Anyway, I think the higher lift increases gas milage due to lighter atmosphere resistance at higher altitudes. Many hours of research have gone into this hypothesis... many hours.

Sorry, too many pages :/ Must have missed your post. Does that mean you bow fish? I thought that is what those bows are for?

I guess it depends on your opening. Vertical or horizontal? If you are opening the windows sideways, horizontal, you can shoot through that opening all day. Still, that’s way more of a problem with your traditional bow. Modern crossbows are basically rifles. I have a rifle, but it hardly ever...

I'm surprised nobody has suggested it... but bows are excellent in this kinda situation. A compound or traditional bow requires a fair amount of constant training, but crossbows are point and shoot. I find it a great upper body workout. I hate using weights. We do urban archery around the city...

I’ll let him go on his own journey of discovery :)

Find your local Jeep group and wheel it :) Lots of folks take their stock and moderately modified trucks off road. First couple times out, my truck was stock and I was very impressed with it.

Ouch, ya, I’m scared of that stuff now. Bought the thickest welding blanket I could find!

Someone told me to put your wheels under the vehicle with you when you jack up the car/truck. I always do this now, in addition to my semi-rated jack stands!

Ouch! Worst accident last year was smashing my two fingers while trying to put the damn rear shock into its mount. Had to do the scary hot needle thing to relieve the blood pressure! Oh, and the scar on my collarbone from welding the new bolts to the Jeeps frame (when I was bobbing it). Had...

Everyone’s risk threshold is different, but I think the warranty thing really comes down to how much of a jerk the service manager is. I recently took my truck in for a fix after a fairly catastrophic failure on the road (oil cooler blew) and the place I took it didn’t bat an eye to fix it...

Mine is a hybrid Genesis Off-road DIY kit + National Luna Battery Management system. I spent around $1k on it with batteries, and it took me 4-ish hours to install. Genesis sells full kits too, which are probably a little more expensive. It’s a really easy install if you have basic electrical...

I know I’m not answering your questions, but: At that price you could swap in a dual battery system + two group 25 batteries. Been running this setup for a couple years now. Way easier to work with than the stock system and the second battery can act like a built in jump, while taking the...

Ya, it kinda sucks how bad service is around here. I do enjoy doing my own work, but often wouldn’t mind a little help with time at a premium between family and work. I’ve even struggled to find mechanics that I trust :/ Just not worth it to spend $100-$300 for a minor service when there is a...

Just my experiences, but: The Koons parts department was really good, but I never their service group because their sales people played a bunch of games when I ordered my truck. Farris’s service department was really bad and lied to me. Then argued with me when I called them on it. Umansky...
