Caught the Bug
I've owned a jeep long enough now to know how the upgrading thing goes, you buy 35s one day and the next day you're wishing you had bought 37s. It's already happened to me a few times. Each time I've lost some money because of it. So, in an effort to be more efficient with my money, I'm looking at long term goals with my jeep. I'm considering foregoing upgrades for current axles (D30 and D44) and just going to 60s front and rear. Original plan was to purchase a prorock 44 for the front with ARB locker and put an ARB locker with 35 spline chromoly shafts in rear running 37 in tires. I was also going to regear to 5.13 at the same time. The cost for all this would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 to 8K. Someday, though, I might want to run larger tires with lower gearing, like 38s or 40s with 5.38, in which case I'd have to sell axles and buy new again. Wondering what it would cost to just by 60s with 5.38 gearing already and ARBs? I'm just looking for an estimate figure at this point and advice from fellow jeepers who have learned lessons from upgrades. Also, I'm pretty serious about wheeling. I may only wheel several times a year but it's a lot of rock crawling and I want to continue to push my limits. I have plans to wheel Rubicon trail and lots of other intense trails. I'd love to do JK experience....you get the picture...
