No wheel spacers right? I'm probably 10k away from needing new tires I'm currently on 37" Toyo M/T debating if I should go 40" or stick with 37" again.
I am running spacers yes. Doesn't make a difference though, the overall offset is what matters. 8.5" wide wheels at +25 offset rubbed to the inside at full lock but cleared the rock rails. With an additional 1.5" wheel spacer I net about -13 offset and it keeps it out of the control arms and front skid but was running the tire into the rock rails at full lock and had to trim. My hunch is a 0 offset would probably be a better place for the 40s. Really the axles just aren't wide enough.

I've only been street driving it though. I fully expect there to be carnage when I get this thing flexed out and a lot of changes will be needed. Waiting for warmer weather.

More green! (Door handles this time) And some yellow! (Mirrors on the JL) Also swapped wheels and tires with my wife. Just have to get the matching spare on for her next week when the wheel gets here. Black lugs and 37s are at work waiting for me as well.

lol yep, that was the last of the color match stuff for mine though. When she sees the handles I bet she’ll want a set.

Until someone creates something new in that color for you to add lol. You know she doesn't want to be outdone by you right?

Wow, 11 mpg average? Jeremy, you do know you can modulate the gas pedal, right? It‘s not just all the way on or all the way off. 😉
