37's on a stock dana30

It's bound to take all that 4 liter can do to get those tires rolling and I bet your right, it's probably SCARY trying to stop it.

I'd say he's running 3.55 gears...

I don't know who orginally built that thing but an 18 year old has it now. You may find his build/revamping thread interesting.....

Yeah, the pics came from the CF thread. He never finished posting tho...

He bought 60s for it, painted them and that's it...

Edit:

I'll give the kid credit. From what it WAS to what it IS now. He did a good job fixing the junk. Not that I'd build one like he did in the first place but still...

 

[High2by]

Yep. It's a major improvement.

Since I don't do mud, it just sems like a big waste, but hey, that's just me.

i wud just buy a pickup for mudding that I6 must be tired...and one of those tires is prob worth more then my whole rig

 

[Lowrange2]

150 bucks for one tire.

Used Military take offs.

He lists them for 300 on the site. He used to sell them with a bit more wear on them for 150.

im running 35s now.. of course i havent had a chance to get on it and BUMP IT!!!!

I did not read this whole thread...But, do you not remember what happened to my spider gears, in my D30 on 35's.... While YOU were in the truck?? I'd not think 37's would be wise.:viking:

 

[Lowrange2]

But 49's would be fine, right?

no no..
you were flooring it up a sandy hill.. there was a huge rock you slammed into.. then you nearly flipped your jeep on his side.
you could have broken your gears running 31's at that point :shhh:

btw.. did you ever fix it?

Matter of fact it just got home this past week! All fixed up, no more leaking gear lube either! Got the tie in brackets for the rear bumper, welded on the front LCA skids, reattached and welded on the rear exhaust so it should not come off again (second time!) AND found that my front driveshaft, the one with all the SLOP in it was causing my vibes at 70mph... now it's smooth sailing... just need another DS!:looser:
