Thanks guys. Yep, axles are D30 and 29 spline 8.25 with stock gears right now. Should get my 8.8 in the next week or so. I'll be taking it over to a buddies shop to take the forklift to it to measure out my trimming, bumpstops and limiting straps. Bumpers are almost done. Here are some pics of the front bumper:

Hey,
Looks good! Just out of curiosity, did you trim and just put what looks like rubber molding over the edge?

The D30 will be fine for now. Two good friends of mine have been running 37's on their XJ and TJ with locked D30's, and once in awhile, they break a shaft, but not as often as one would expect if they knew how much these guys beat the piss out of their rigs. I do plan on putting an 8.8 in the back in the next month. I bought the tires from a friend who moved up to 39" Iroks. The tires have a little trail wear, but they were on a trail only rig that was trailored, so it has very little road wear, so they have atleast 85% tread. My rig isn't completely ready for 37's, but 5 37" MT/R's for $550 was hard to pass up. I got the wheels from a company I found on EBay. They are 15x8" Eagle 186's with 3 1/4" Back Spacing. I got five of them brand new with center caps, lug nuts, and chrome valve stems shipped for $475.
My XJ was already trimmed for the 34's I had, but yes, that is trim molding around the edges. The front will need very little trimming, but the rear is going to need some reconstructive surgery.
The front bumper is not a Rigid brand. It is the Monitor Front Bumper that I build (www.rocklizardfabrications.com) and is in the final stages of the prototype phase.

don't you think you'd run into problems putting such a big wheel on a small axle flange?
the 5 x 4.5 is definately not as strong as say a 6 x 5.5 or such. How hard to you wheel ? mainly rocks? mainly mud? I've seen axle flanges break rather easily at that too.
at some point trying to keep the 30 to keep working sounds like too much. It ain't meant to run 37's. good friend is ditching his cuz his 36's are too much abuse for it.

Where's the forum police to say that this is in the wrong forum? :lecture: Personally, I could care less, but some people will bitch. Looks good, bring that rig to NAC and give it a run.
