If it would be possible could you measure the dia of the tires to see there actual size on the 15 x 8 rim? They look bigger than 34.8 that is listed on Goodyear's web site. I am planing to get new tires and am comparing size to rim and looking for a tire at a 36 to 37 inch dia. Trying to decide between the mt/r w/k and the bfg km2 but neither make a 36 or 37 in a 15 inch rim. So I was hoping that the smaller rim with than is called out for the tire would make the dia bigger (maker says 8.5 to 11 inch width). Thanks Ken

thanks

Finally got some more work done to it; 97 mirrors, and valve cover. Speakers added using the stock mounts behind the seat in the side panels. And the cargo bed light and switch for it and the fog lights. Here are some pics.

about 5 inches

were are you located? if in California or another state with strict laws about motor swaps it will be expensive and pain full to swap the motor. the core support is different and i think the fire wall is different on the 4.0 equipped jeeps.it may be better to go Chevy and use a 4.3.( the 2.8 is a Chevy motor) nice looking truck and good luck.

well the tires arn't cramped they fit fine. they mesure out at 36 inches even though they are advertized as 37 inches. the warn 5 on 4.5 hubs are only rated at 33 inches max that is the problem with the hubs. they were on the axle when i got it and liked the 30 spline shafts and ox locker so wasnt going to toss them till i found a better solution. once i finish my reserch on the grand cherokee knuckles and brakes i may upgrading to them with warn 5 on 5.5 hubs they have the same bearings as the full size dana 44s. or I will do a hybrid 30/44 as i already have all the parts to do that now. but i like the bigger brakes with the grand cherokee parts. and yes the emblem is a 4.0 liter.

I used this same truss and mounts on my TJ with a waggie d44 with cross over high steer and have had no problems and think its one of the best setups that i have done. I customized the upper link mounts and used re flex joints instead of there rubber ones. i just checked the price with all the mounts and otk cross over steering comes to $368 usd

i just did it a couple months ago and am trying to find my pics. my puter had crashed a few months ago and am having troubles finding all my picks. been getting home after dark so i may just need to wait till next weekend and go take some new picks.

insted of puting leaf springs under it why not use this http://tntcustoms.com/fronttruss-wagoneerd4480.aspx and use the coils and arms you got?

just got home from work and checked the site thanks. been very bizy with the holiday and work. not one speck of rust on it spent its hole life in california. will post more picks as soon as i can.

As i just found the web site I need to go thru my pics and find them so I can put them up. But I will as soon as I can and I will post pics of the new work I am planing.

thanks figured it out hope i did it right. this is one of 15 jeeps we own but one of my favs. far from done still working out bugs. am running warn lock out hubs and found out they just don't hold up to 37s. am trying to do reserch on using grand cherokee spindles breaks and roters with the larger warn 5 on 5.5 hub setup. these are some older pics they don't show the hitch or the new er front non disconect dana 30 front with ox locker.

Just found this site. Its great to find people that are just as crazy as i am about jeeps. My mj was a 1987 stripper 2x4 4.0 ba10 5 speed road construction truck. its now lifted 7 inches with a very early tnt customs long arms kit, 7 inch rubicon front coils, spring over rear with blocks, dana 30 front, ford 8.8 rear, 4.56 gears, 231 xfer, proto fab front winch bumper, ramsey winch, hidden hitch recever under the fay rear bumper, bush wacker cut out flairs, 37 inch ssr's on alloy rims, tuffy console, xj buckets, and many changes done with mostly xj parts. as soon as i can figuer how to upload pick i will.
