It was the whole RTguy reference, it brought back some dark times. I think I had some RTguySD, see it is like PTSD only it involves "hardcore forum offroaders"

Don't feel bad, Overlander adds a lot more than just a few inches to his "stature" when he is talking to the ladies.

Unless you are running a factory soft top, which actually sits higher than the top of the windshield.

If your going to do it do it now before it's too late.

And a pricey decision at that, specially if the end result is based on want and not need. Which theres nothing wrong with in my book!

Good point. Maybe this is a stupid question but what is the real advantage of 38" tires and a PR60 over 40's and a PR80? You lose an inch clearance with the PR80 but gain an inch and a half over a 37" tire in height over the axle. On a 38" you gain another 1/2" over a 37" but don't lose the inch of ground clearance? is it just cosmetics? If it is, you also deal with significantly higher rotating mass…..

Good question, and I don't have any first hand experience running those axles or tire sizes except 37's(Jeep),and 39's on desert truck. Rotating mass kills, add some hp and the weak links become obvious. I went with, at least what I read to be one of the lighter 37's and wheels and it suits my needs so far. Tire companies actual sizes vary, they don't run a true advertised size.

No offense, but if you're selling your take offs as "no scratches, no dirt on them," do you really need 40s?

No offense taken. Jeep is a few months old. Other than the sleeves and the c gussets I did all the work myself, and the jeep has undergone a few iterations in the time its been around. The build so far took up most of my free weekends. Then I decided to buy a house, move, and ged engaged. So other than spending what free time is left tinkering on the jeep. (Only to be selling most of that stuff) I haven't had time to use it or drive it. Hopefully that will change soon and life will get back to normal. All my hobbies have suffered lately. Im also a competitive marksman and haven't had the time to fire a single round in 3 months. Not that I don't want to do those things, life happened and I haven't had the time. All the hobbies have taken a beating lately. To be direct, I'm not creating the most epic parking lot princess and the intent is to use it. Good question though. When I posted the for sale ad, I was wondering when someone was going to give me shit. Most of my friends locally have talked some monster shit when they head out to the trails and I have had something else going on. I would expect no less from this group. I was surprised no one called me out sooner
