Ok guys… here ya go. The first pic is what it looked like when I went deer hunting. The original engine was long gone, so it now has a 440 that originally was a natural gas Winco generator.

Good choice in wheels. Nothing better than street legal beadlocks!!
I can’t wait to try them out! Now I just have to figure out what I’m going to do with the factory beadlock wheels… once my Jeep finally shows up

Sell em!

Or you could keep them and run a dual wheel setup like I'm doing. I have my factory wheels which came with my Willys sport, which currently have Maxxis HT tires on them. And then this spring I will be putting 35" Mickey Thompson's on my bronze rebound pros, which will be my off-road only wheels from this point forward.

I do a whole lot of highway driving so it kind of makes sense to not be running AT tires all the time.

I ran a dual setup with my Challenger for summer and winter tires. The winter tires were on wheels that I could beat the heck out of and not care.

My thought was to stick to one set of tires this time with wheels that have beadlock capability and can get scratched up. Possibly upgrade to 37’s with a MC lift when the 35’s wear out if needed. I want to run a mostly stock suspension for now and figure out functionally what I need vs. what I think I need.

I’m glad they didn’t go with Plum Crazy, and hope they don’t until the 392 is discontinued ! Hell- my 21 was $73.5K , a new one ~$90K….. it would be a damn expensive paint job. :facepalm:

That's basically what I'm doing. I got some coil spring spacers in there in the front, but that's only to fix my negative rake. Also too I'm going to put in some 1.25" body spacers at some point soon, and that's just to increase my capabilities for running 35s at full flex, but it's going to be a couple years before I do anything suspension lift wise. Like you said, figure out what I need versus what I think I need.

My personal opinion, in the world of off-roading, skid plates are significantly more important than any lift.
