Mikey. Congrats.
 
I want to add a few details of what got done. To fit the 39.5 inch iroks on 15 inch bead locks I stretched the wheelbase from 107 inches to 112 inches. I flipped the rear springs to gain 3 inches and mounted the front shackle reversal as far forward as I could. The fenders had to be opened up to the max. I then shortened the stock rear driveshaft and mounted it in front and shortened an fj60 shaft ( thanks johnny) and installed for the rear. The axles I bought fully built with 5.29 gears, spool in the rear, and lock right in front. That will eventually become arb locked. All chromoly shafts and birfs.
 
I figured I'd add the videos from yesterday on this thread too. She handled great on all the terrain i put her on and felt more stable steep angles than i expected. Next ride is gonna be Daniel trail so I'll need a second rig to accompany me.

Lets go to Daniel Saturday!
 
I love it.

You have to take those tires down to about 6psi though, they aren't doing too much at that high pressure!
 
Those tires are somewhere less than 10psi. My gauge wasn't reading well that low. I wanna say around 8psi

Then go even lower. The tires should look a bit bagged out sitting still. With beadlocks, you don't have to worry about loosing a bead.

If your gauge wasn't reading that well, then who's to say that the tires weren't actually at 12psi?
 
They were plenty soft for ure. The camera angle didn't show it very well. I also have to balance the power that the 3fe puts out. My gauge gets more accurate over the 10psi mark. I'm gonna get a better one though
