Bad ass build. Post some more pics from other angles when you have a chance

Thank you. I will post more in about 2 weeks or so when everything is finished. This truly will be a "new truck" when done. Here is a side view from a 2 weeks ago.

Absolutely sick build! Let me know how those tires work out for you...I'm seriously considering a set of 38" Baja Pro XS

Do you still have the death wobble after the D60 install? I had death wobble on my 1st JK, and it turned out to be a bent C joints on the axle, due to large tires/trail stress. A DynaTrac Pro44 swap solved it for me. If you had a similar issue, the D60 swap would have solved it.

Yes, problem appears solved. The problem was found out to be that the previous install was done poorly and parts were not level, screws were not all torqued correctly, geometry was incorrect, etc which lead to the death wobble. The wobble would not have existed on the previous set up if everything was simply installed correctly.

1-10 -- Off-road = 10 All the negative aspects I write below for ON-ROAD are exactly why these are great Off-road. I love these tires off-road. I'll take these over Nitto, Toyo, Yokohama, Duratracs, Goodyear, Kenda, you name it, these are better.

1-10 -- On-road = 6. Total shit on road. Granted, I bought these for off-road, however, I do have to drive to work and drive TO the trails. Ultimately, My driving on-road is so minimal that it doesn't matter for me so I am happy overall.
-1 for being bias ply and not radials
-1 for being stupid loud on the road; these are the loudest tires I've ever owned, louder than Nittos or Toyos hands down
-2 for poor performance on wet roads, these are absolute shit on wet roads.

Is that hydraulic steering kit from Tank customs?

Yes, they performed all the work. I found them through this forum. I will say this: They were honest, hardworking, down-to-earth and fun. They also gave me very fair pricing and in some cases, excellent pricing.

They are also active on this forum via the following profile:
