[Project FJ80]

Well after much thought and debate, and the approval of the misses, Ill be getting the portal-tek axels. Ill order them sometime this month and they should be done before or in June. I decided to go with most all the options they had including the CTM u-joints, 35 spline 300m axel shafts arb lockers axel trussings, heavyduty tie rods, upgraded 16" Wilwood brakes 6piston calipers, hydro assist, and the 2.47 ring and pinion which will give me a final ratio of 4.94:1 , Ill also be going 2 inches longer on the front and rear axels to space me out a little more

Does anyone run a full hydro setup on the front end? or a hydro assist? wondering which I should go with. Right now I have the 37" kralwers, but would like to go a bit wider and taller. Id like to go with some 44" tires, but im very limited with rim sizes over 17". Its either 21/44-17LT Traxus or
the 21/49-17LT IROK's. Has anyone ran these sizes of tires? are they good or bad? Any other tires out there 14-18" wide and over 42"? 21" is awfully wide.

Im also wondering if anyone has heard anything good or bad or knows someone or has the newer Atlas 4-Speed transfercase. Sounds to be the , but I havent been able to find much on the internet about it.
