Now do you actually intend to drive over bumps with that combo - or were they just for pix?
(which are very good I might add - they look great)

drive it baby!! just uploaded my first post with a video... you can drive it ya just need a football field to turn around

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Sep 07, 2008 2:20 pm

looks to me as it should work just fine, :lol:

maybe need 40 acres to turn but other than that I say run them, whatever the tires hit will be torn off in a few miles, then no problems. You may need to go to 4.10s though :twisted:

I dont see anywhere where they could possibly rub. 38's may even fit with a tad more clevis lift in the front. :lol:

Flex Pics!

See how long those rear fenders stay attached :twisted:

looks like a BEAST!

This things looks awsome. Would like to see what the fenders look like after a trail run

2006 KJ · **Posted:** Sun Sep 07, 2008 5:00 pm

i dont think there would be anything to look at on the fenders after a trail run... they wouldnt be there. I'm trying to put a video of it on YouTube but it's taking FOR-EV-ER to load. as soon as it does i'll put a link in my original post to the video. thanks for all the compliments!!!

Looks awesome!

just added video.. kinda funny

corwyyn · **Posted:** Sun Sep 07, 2008 6:03 pm

Never mind the fender flares, I wanna know how long the front diff is gonna hold up under that kind of load in 4WD :shock:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Sep 07, 2008 6:16 pm

Well I have one extra front diff in the garage and will be shopping for more tomorrow so when all these newbies see this and think yes thats what I want I will be ready to R&R theirs :lol:

DryBones · **Posted:** Sun Sep 07, 2008 6:25 pm

so what vehicle did these come off or are going on and how long did they really stay on your KJ?

hahahahahhaha.. sorry to burst your money making idea (it would've worked great) but i should really fess up.

these came off my dad's long armed rubicon.. they only stayed on my jeep long enough to take the video i uploaded and take some pictures. i've been wondering if they would even fit in the wheel wells for a long time so i finally tried 'em on. hahaha.. whats real funny is what my dad's rubi looked like with my girly 32's

here it is normally..

I like the low COG stance with the 35's. Only if that set up would actually work. Question why do you have a telephone booth infront of your house?

Doesn't everybody?

Liberator84 · **Posted:** Sun Sep 07, 2008 8:08 pm

I defintally like it. But it wouldn't work for the offroad world that I am going to put the KJ through. Athough I really like the sound, and color of the 06 rennie!!

Good Job!!

2006 KJ · **Posted:** Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:03 pm

thanks a lot!! the telephone booth.. well.. we ran into it at a yard sale.. and since it's made outta alum. we figured we could drag it home. so up on the roof rack of the KJ it went along with a lot of ratchet straps. i guess we thought it would be a neat yard decoration.. a skeleton goes in it with a orange light to light up for halloween... superman sometimes... santa at x-mas.. and it goes on and on. plus we got it for $50! havnt cleaned it up yet but that's the plan :twisted:

i reallllly wish the 35's would work for daily driving and offroading but that's way outta reach. always nice to dream though :cry:

Soon I'll have 35's on my KJ and it will still be a DD,and it will see some nasty trail action like it has,and more,here in CO.
