Who's running 37s and Beadlocks?

[Ryanfold]

Who’s running 37s and beadlocks on their two door?

Is it too heavy?! Hows the power?

Got the beadlock wheels sitting in my garage, and about to buy some 37’s. Just wondering what I’m in store for?!

Check out centurion07 build. I know it’s not beadlocks but can give idea of mods and nice looking rig.

No beadlocks but 37's on stock wheels. Its fine. I average about 17-22 mpg with the turbo. Plenty of power.

We've got 'em. 17x9 DV8 wheels with custom aluminum rings.....

Are your wheels aluminum or steel? Same question about the rings.....

Got 15.6 mpg calculated driving to/from Colorado (Telluride area) and that was passing in some instances at what was likely close to 100 mph.

Honestly, even with 4.10s, I think the power is just fine. What gear ratio do you have? Standard JL? Oops...sorry...our's is a 4 door.

thanks man! That puts me at ease a little bit. I’ve got some KMC XDs. They’re aluminum, but heavy as hell.

I am a sport by VIN, but I’ve got Rubicon axles now so I do have for 4.10 gearing.

if you’re happy with all that and a four-door, You’re helping me warm up my cold feet! Thanks a ton

Have you looked at the Milestar Patagonia M/T's? Very light for the size. Saw a video that included the owner of DCD Customs say that a 40x13.5 Pat feels as light as a 35x12.5 Nitto Trailgrappler.

I've got two Rubi's with 37s (Patys) and beads. One has been regeared with 4.88s and the other will be regeared next week. The 4.10s kind of suck, 8th gear is pretty much gone and 7th is rare. The jeep is slow and not much fun to drive. I think 4.88s has been one of my best mods yet. Gives the Jeep lots of pep. Average MPG is about 15.5 to 16, but when on the interstate it drops when going over 75.

Thanks man, great advice. I was thinking about trusting up the axles and requiring. Are you a two or a four-door?

Ryanfold,

This link has some info on the Artec trussing that was done to my 2-Door JLR

https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/manual-2-door-rubicon-bikini-build.48532/page-4

FWIW, thinking about going to 5.13 gears since the Jeep has 37s and a manual gear box.
