EDIT UPDATE: Currently I've got Nitto TRAIL GRAPPLER M/T 38x13.5R17 on beadlocks on my 2021 JLR, RK JL 2.5 Inch Ultimate Adventure System + RK rear adjustable uppers, RCV's, Reid knuckles, Dynatrac balljoints, DuroSpring Bump Stops, Metalcloak BS, ASFIR armor. 2.0 turbo and automatic. I wheel with the other TJ's, LJ's, JK's, and JL's with that (or I take my TJR on 33's). I take my stretched LJR on 43's when I go with the buggies or get called on a difficult recovery.
Double Edit. Bought a stretched 05 LJR on 43's that was built by a buggy builder:
TJR on 295/70R18 E rated K02's does great rock crawling and rides smooth. Don't believe the myths about E harsh ride. E's are just far stronger and much less prone to side wall punctures.
------- END of TJR -------
I was going with a JLUR given it's so much easier to do 43's right on the longer wheelbase. Red Rock 4-Wheelers states on 9+: a minimum wheelbase 100"
Having read all the threads on JLRs on 37+, I've decide to follow the buy once, cry once philosophy and bought a new JLR 2.0T. I need 4:1 xfer case and white painted top so ordered a JLR
Build plan:
Threads on 40" builds:
Too many JLUR builds adding truss + RCV to list. I can edit this list if folks want to read that approach.
