With the inch and a quarter adapter, the back spacing works out to be about 4.5". Once the Rubicon flares are installed, I'll have about 2 and a half inches of tire sticking out past the flare.
It just happened!

Very, very happy with this choice. Now I need to get busy with the pile of parts and a re-gearing will need to be accelerated.

And get a 5th for the spare.
I have the 5th, but need to install the MORryde. That won't happen until I get corners on.

How quick I forgot about the MORryde.
They aren't lying. They just haven't told you which month it will be from which it will be 1 month out

There is truth here!
I have the kit, but am unsure if I'll use it. The stock hub bearing is beautifully simplistic, but does have its drawbacks.
Since it will be a while before the corner armor, started working on the MORryde install.
Only because I know you already know, how much does it weigh?
45ish lbs, but the nearly 100 lb tire hangs with zero drop when the tailgate is opened.
This one has me genuinely excited. During the last ten years my wife has literally never taken an interest in any Jeep I've built. When she saw this one, after the "You bought a third Jeep?" discussion, she came back and said she really liked it and asked if she could try to drive it. That is truly a miracle, so I'm going to lean in a direction of keeping it drivable for her. All good parts of course, with a focus on handling and braking improvements. Beyond that, she will be helping define a path forward.
I went with the Rollmaster dbl roller timing chain. Which I saw from the guy who builds the 4.7 L strokers. Quality piece.
Finished up the spare tire carrier for the 35" tire. Had to raise the stock 3rd brake light again, from the 33s, and added another brake light inside the wheel center hole.
