Overland LJR built to explore and expedition

could I request a picture of your rear tire mounted on exogate. I am wanting to see clearance of the rear bumper and the tire. I am interested in where a 35” sits and for phase two of my build where a 37” will sit. Also are you running the factory tire mount on the exogate or a different one. Thanks!

Jeeps not at home right now but I'll get some pictures when I have it back. I have 33" right now and there isn't much clearance of the tire. However, there is offset brackets which raises the tire to the top and left so a 35" should fit stock bumper no problem (at least with a BL which I have).

I think technically it's only rated up to a 35", I could see putting a 37" on there both size and weight wise being possibly problematic.

See where it mentions up to 35" https://gr8tops.com/shop/jeepmodels/wrangler-lj-2/tj-lj-exogate

I have a photo on my thread that shows a BFG 33x10.5 on the Exogate with stock carrier: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/nk24s-2004-jeep-wrangler-rubicon.17069/post-297149

You’ll definitely need to use the offset brackets for anything larger than 33 with the stock carrier.

Thanks that is perfect! I am going to need to modify the stock bracket and try to moving the tire towards the drivers side makes better since to me. I will cut and reweld the stock carrier

Lol that must be it. But, If the photo had @Daryl and I doing our flex shots in the background he would have swept the board.

@tomtaylz do I get anything for taking the photo?

How about a red ride of the month banner under your title?

I’ll be out there Thursday night to help button up the sliders. Then a few tasks and hoping to take it to the exhaust shop on Tuesday where we can really button everything up.

Probably going to have the brakes, new tires and angles/bump stops done by a shop shortly too. I’m just running out of time to DIY and want everything done for a trial run at hollister, so spending a bit (or a lot :cautious:) on labor is probably in my future.

Man it’s hard to even get quotes from places this time of year, I guess ppl are spending their tax $$.

Don't forget about the pump relocation.
