Have you looked at Summit Racing's site? That's where I ended up buying.

Uh, no progress to post pics of. I have done a little wheel shopping. GACK is all I can say about the wheel choices out there. For what they cost, I want to like them.

Well, an update is now due. Nothing to show with pictures yet, but that'll probably all come in one fell swoop. I've secured a 3" Tera lift, some "short" Tera control arms from a 4" Tera lift, D30/D44 axles with ARBs and 4.88s (they still need a bit of work) and some AEV Savegre wheels (black---they're NOT staying that way---powder coated but will likely have duplicolor gray on them PDQ) with 60% Toyo MTs. My garage is beyond overflowing with JK crap. I need to get those axles together and get this Jeep item "complete" (well, the lift/axles/tires/wheels phase). Thanks to all who've spied deals or snagged hookups for me!!!!! I'm amazed I came up with all this stuff for my budget.

Can't wait to get this thing on a milder trail

I still need some ARB solenoids and blue line if someone has some of those kicking around?

Pics of Savegre wheels

The rest of my stuff is just boxes or axles without diff covers. Pretty boring stuff. Seems almost criminal to paint over this powder coated wheel but I just don't care at all for black. I'd love to trade for some argent Pintlers or Savegre wheels (those seem to be modeled after 1980s Countach wheels? ---maybe that's just my MTV generation showing?

)

I like your choice of wheels

 

[UNSTUCK]

I have blue line and one used solenoid you are welcome to have.

Excellent! When's a good time for me to pick them up?

 

[UNSTUCK]

Any time, but I moved. I'll pm you my address.

Marc, here's the link to my build thread which shows how I plumbed my ARB's, with manual air switches and 1/4" poly airline that you can buy anywhere. Ive run this setup for 5 years with zero issues and have never been left locker-less due to a failed ARB solenoid or o-ring. K.I.S.S.

I've since added a fixed 100psi inline pressure regulator for the ARB's http://www.coilhose.com/uploads/products/page 44.pdf

and replaced the Viair relay/solenoid with a standard relay to trigger the compressor, so I can benefit from the full pressure output (150psi) of the Viair 450C when filling tires.

Well, I did get a bit done today. Sighted in a couple rifles, ran kids around, painted some wheels....(I do almost feel bad about painting those AEV wheels but they look SO much better to me)

Anyway....

 

[Greg]

Those look great Marc!

 

[XJEEPER]

Never been a fan of black wheels, looks much better.

 

[mbryson]

Couldn't help myself from getting a preview.

Sweet

 

[mesha]

I like it. Coming along nicely.

 

[mbryson]

Waiting for some D44 ARB parts and a D30 ring/pinion/install kit. Hoping to slam it all together ASAP

 

[Maverick]

Not too bad at all.

 

[Herzog]

That's going to look great
