Neat little toy you got there Brett. Throwing some MT's on it? Don't think those current tires will get you out of a rut at the cliffs or badlands. Is it coming out to the Dunes?

I would put a cage in it before anything else, i knew a guy that had one and he pretty much flopped it on evrey obsticle, and nothing like super hardcore, stuff that a heep on 33s could handle.  Those things are just so narrow!!  I always wanted to build one.

I had rims with too much offset, and it caused all kinds of problems with my XJ.  After switching back to OEM rims, almost all of my drivability issues went away.  I wasn't running even half the offset you are talking about, so I can't imagine how that will affect things on your rig.

 

Why not go with an axle swap to a full-size truck axle if you want that much width?
