Easy to moderate mountain desert trails been on some hard too. I’ll trail anything it’s all about making good common sense when it comes to trailing through something. And yes daily driver
Nice..I'm somewhat similar in mindset. I simply wish I had lockers that could be turned on/off. They make a BIG difference when you get to tougher climbs.

I've seen few threads with pics of the sport with 35" tires.(or 315/70/17) Will you post pics and provide thoughts on your tires/wheels/lift and how you like your 3.45 gearing and ride with 35's? I have a sport s with rubicon takeoff suspension/wheels/tires and would like to add a 2-2.5" spacer lift to the rubi suspension(2.5" RC spacer lift or 2" teraflex)and go to 315/70/17 ko2 class c on stock rims without adding wheel spacers. I'm a bit odd in not liking the tires sticking out past the fenders. Thanks for posting pics!

Interesting... alot of experienced offroaders on here arent recommending offroading 37's on d30 axles. I wish the sport offered d44 & lockers...they make a big difference with bigger tires and off road capability.
Always take what you read on the forums with a grain of salt, there are many that have the mentality that if your not running what they have your rig is crap
The new M168 is on par if not stronger than the D44 that came in the Rubi JK. Could you still break wheeling 37.s on it, of course but I could also break it with 30" tires on it also lol. Know the limits and dont rock bounce it the axle will hold just fine. If you do plan for 37's on the M168 and stock gearing, look for a light tire. The Milestar tires are crazy light for a 37, they weight the same as my 35" KL71's I run on my JK

My new JLU I ordered is a sport S, a rubicon would be cool love the interior but one I can build a sport for cheaper and there hasnt been much I couldnt wheel when I wasnt locked on my JK. If anything, adding lockers to it was like putting in cheat codes on a video game lol
Cant wait for my JLU to show up, the little JK been fun but time for a fresh start

I haven't noticed a change in drivability with the 315s and calibration set for 34.4" but I don't do much freeway driving and hills aren't a big thing in Florida.

The power is just fine and the difference is barely noticeable, maybe because of the manual transmission. You just don't get to 6th gear too often, which was the case with stock wheels as well.

Nice build out. I have the same cube lights. Did you already have the Aux package installed with your Jeep or bought it after?
