Painted up the front axle brackets and steering arms.

Well looks like I have a local buyer for my front and rear axles. If local falls through ima open it up to shipping.

Also did some calling around and everywhere I called, 37" MTRs are all on backorder. I don't want another set of KM2 because they chunk quite a bit and arent true to size as other brands.

Ive been looking at Yokohama brand tires which are made in Japan, the Geolandar M/T Plus. Ive heard good things about them being good on the rocks, snow, rain but suck for mud. I got a quote from my American TireDepo for $380 each for 40x13.5x17 which is a pretty darn good deal for a 40". This is where the problem comes in.

I want 37 MTRs, but can't find them anywhere, but I can also get a set of Yokohama 40s for the same price as the 37s.

I have no doubt that these axles can handle 40s under a TJ/LJ.

MTR WHY YOU SO BACKORDER!

The rear swap start tomorrow. Ill be using the Poison Spyder Coilover Towers to cut into the frame and outboard the rear coilovers and then ill be moving the gas tank back one cross member and then stretching the rear by 4".

Todays progress so far, we have taken out all the brackets, dropped the gas tank, taken off the extra LJ crossmember, and now working on grinding the frame clean and making the brake lines on the rear axle.

Exhaust has been cut and that air tank will need to go.

Extra crossmember taken off and gas tank dropped in order to relocate the gas tank couple inches back. 

So roomy back here!
