TJ with LS1 Swap, Dana 60s, and 49" Tires

[Chris]

Looks like it's already up to $32,000! Imagine how much one of those tires costs, let alone the shipping on them!

He can't even carry a spare tire.

Not really a bad price especially if you figure parts alone.

Poorly executed. The 60's won't live very long if you romp the throttle a couple of times in the rocks. They will explode faster than you think possible. We have to go to 70's front and rear for enthusiastic throttle use with just 42's.

First Jeep my wife said the tires were just too big! LOL!

I too was thinking that for 42” tires, Dana 60s seemed like they wouldn’t be the best choice.

The rig has 49's on it.

Oh man... even worse. For the Dana 60s I mean.

Ha, I looked up the price of a 49" tire and they are around $800 per tire. You've got to have deep pockets, that's for sure!
