It’s still going! Got the 46” claws onto the 20x14 double beadlocks and test fit them today, no clearance issues which is shocking coming from a 40” tire. Doesn’t seem to be any room to go bigger though.

I ran the lowest rpm stall converter that gm performance offered in the 4l70 power train combo - it’s a bit tight in high for snow wheeling with the 5.13’s and 46’s and Im a bit nervous to get into the throttle too hard with the 4:1 transfer case. On the other side of things, with the 40’s in low range I can idle up walls without getting into the throttle.

Not too sure which way to go with the axles next, see how they hold up. The dana 60 tubes look tiny with these tires they’re definitely well built from the previous generations. They could benefit from bigger brakes and the welded rear is a bit of a pain.

Future upgrades will include better coilovers, these springs are tiny and sprung light. The good news is even with a bit more stuff on it (2nd winch, action packers, tools etc) it still comes in at 4400lbs, which is great for what it is.

Anyone know where this thing ended up? Was thinking about old RME builds that had influence on my Jeep and went down memory lane. Next on tour will be @Greg rme tj, spideys yj and Ben and kami’s tj. Oh and @Greg hopefully this keeps motivation running high after hanging tree a few weeks back 😬

I heard it's making a LONG trip back from Canada 🇨🇦 without a heart and going to someone that really needs it!
