How to fit 37" BFG Tires on a Stock Jeep Wrangler JKU - NO LIFT!

[@CourtDejur]

I literally laughed out loud when you said "well! we're committed to these so that comes off" pointing at the rocker panel. HILARIOUS! Love your dedication. Just purchased a '10 wrangler (4 door) so trying to get some pointers on modifying. *subscribed*

[@jashaejoseph3752]

Do you think a 2 inch lift would make it possible without cutting the frame?

[@tomh4685]

" I grossly underestimated this job.. " Couldn't tell you how many times my wife has heard that line when i spend nine hours in the garage on her day off working on the jeep lol

[@jreal54]

This 8s one of those classic KZbin videos that you come back to for the helpful tutorial and education aspect as well as the humor. Good stuff.

[@AutoEdits]

I really appreciate this comment so much!!! ❤

[@sh-df1bb]

yep, always brings a smile to my face

[@JohnMcClain-p9t]

I just bought my own first Jeep, and a set of tires from a Rubicon that I just put on, taking street tires, 31 inchers off, and 33 incher all terrain on. I expect to do quite a bit to it in the next year, just watching to see what is possible, those 37's look great and I admire your attitude. I've built custom motorcycles for fifty years and custom cars and trucks, doing the welding and metal fabrication in concert with others, doing wiring and mechanical work so watching this was a treat. Thanks, enjoy!

[@willn8664]

It's a damn shame the Jeep website doesn't have the option to get bigger tires. Glad you made this video.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks!!!!

[@kevinryan4410]

Holy crappers.... I thought this sort of stuff only happens to me...lol....a five-minute job turns into something epic, love your work.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks!

[@ntsms69]

Great video, different from others. Very interesting stages of preparation.Great dog participation and the mandatory Beer Run!Pleasure to watch.

[@AutoEdits]

That is a really nice comment and appreciated so much! I'm thankful for friends like you here on the you tube!

[@JohnDuke2013]

You do the best job for a back yard custom builder, you take the time and patience to do it right :-)

[@davidcooper6618]

great video. I was actually impressed that each tire was only 28lb more. Makes me think I might change my 35's to 37's when they wear out.

[@NothingButSilicone]

Makes me think the opposite. Feel like 35s are the sweet spot. No modifications to the body, cheaper, less strain and wear and tear on the gears and transmission, can even use my Rubicon wheels, etc.

[@rey5597]

28 pounds is a huge difference when we’re talking about unsprung rolling weight. Not the same as just adding 100lbs in the passenger seat. Not insinuating that’s what you think

[@adamclancy8706]

I’m always thankful for everyone of your videos and that you actually do it as anyone else who isn’t rich would! Perfect man.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much!

[@socksandtea]

I'll never get "tire"d of watching this series. ;) Can't wait for the next installment!

[@AutoEdits]

+socksandtea Well all right!!! I hope to get another one done soon...thanks for watching and saying hey! I see what you did up there...lol

[@WooPowOffroad]

I am in the process of doing this same thing to my 2016 Rubicon Unlimited. I bought the Metalcloak overline fenders and a teraflex 1.5" leveling kit with 37" Nitto trail grapplers. I will be doing the installation directly following Christmas. Thanks for the good videos!

[@AutoEdits]

Marine660 Don't forget to get the bump stop extenders front and back!!!

[@savincom]

I'm with u brother...you are not alone Just bought my wrangler unlimited jk with came with 33's but all I can think about is k=getting bigger tires on there without having to spend 4-6k on a lift and install plus the $1500 + for the tires. Thanks for the inspiration and confirming it's ok to do it however we want too

[@AutoEdits]

Exactly!!!! Thanks!

[@stevewyatt3339]

the vehicle is way more capable with 33" tires, period. You get way more unsprung weight which is equal to a 4x load. Most are about 30lbs swap, so 4 of those is 120lbs, which is the same as too fat people riding in the back (480lbs). It is REALLY DUMB except for the looks, which is why this wussy did it

[@JohnDuke2013]

I like seeing you using "LOCTITE THREAD LOCKER" So many don't and they check the outer lugs and never the inside. I'll be following you in the future.

[@CammieGee]

Jeep Wrangler and classic Mustang, you got good taste.

[@AutoEdits]

Why thank you!

[@joshuaflowersjr4297]

Can I have your rims and tires?

[@BillyMorgan8774]

Only if it’s a fastback. :)

[@grubset976]

Im buying both this summer another mustang and wrangler

[@chrishill5086]

I have to say that my absolute favorite part of the video was when you said, "I grossly underestimated this job." To hear my wife tell it, I actually need a shirt with that printed on the back... What a fun video and great production value!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much!

[@MrLab0odabee]

Nice video, however I would suggest never putting anti seize on lugs or studs, it will affect your torque you put on the wheels.

[@dachunde]

I had this neighbor when I was a kid that was really smart but not too bright when it came to everyday things. He was very rich and drove a very nice car but you would watch him every Saturday morning try to cut the grass with a sweeper or perhaps with the push lawn mower without starting it. Every once in a while he would lay out elaborate decorations for every holiday is back yard even though it was not even close to being that holiday, and the only people who could see them were his backyard neighbors. He was very smart though, he build test planes for N.A.S.A. in his youth and in his elder years built us kids planes made out of straws and paper and glue. You remind me of him you crazy bastard.

[@AutoEdits]

You really got me with this one... read the whole thing wondering how bad this might get and then got a genuine laugh out loud at the end! Thanks so much for watching and giving me a bit of entertainment!

[@mje19D]

I'm eating Cheetos and I approve of this modification.

[@travis5064]

[@AutoEdits]

+yliaDenaLtsaF HAHA! Thanks!!!

[@rubyjeep1649]

I did the same as you, and stuffed 35" tires under my JKU Rubicon with no lift. I had to cut the stock rocker panels, hammer the pinch seams, run spacers and aftermarket fender flares. It has since then been lifted but I think it was a good way to build it.

[@Warhorse469]

That dog is amazing.

[@Atheistic007]

You can tell a lot about a person by the way his/her dog behaves.

This was a highly enjoyable video. I'm in a restaurant having lemon sour cream pie watching this on my guys phone. I bet I'm the only girl in this place watching a jeep build video 😎👌🇺🇸 I love those 37s, had no idea they weigh in at 100lbs each! I'll most roll on 35s this year. One step at a time. Now to find the rest of your build *subbed* Great job so far! 🐾🐺 love your pup, he's a big help ☺

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much! I'm so happy to have you here!

[@JeepArmyUSA]

4.88s will definitely get that power back with those big meats. Great video!

[@AutoEdits]

+JEEPARMY USA Thanks a bunch! I went back and forth for a while on whether to do that upgrade right away and what ratio. Glad to hear the 4.88 is a good way to go...I have soooooo much to learn!

[@flybyav8tor]

I'm going 5.38s in my 06 LJ... Yikes

[@sh-df1bb]

In short, buy the tires you dream of having & build the jeep around it!! 😮😂😂 Thank you so much for the comic relief

[@AutoEdits]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mbaker82]

Great video! Way to commit to those 37s 😃. I loved the ending... Up next....lol. Should have been at least a 3-4" lift. Look forward to seeing what comes next. Good luck

[@markbryner1474]

fantastic job, love watching your videos, first time jeep owner. ordered my jeep rubicon recon a couple weeks ago. I ordered the two door and not the four door. i hope i made the right choice. i have nobody to ride in the back any more.

[@AutoEdits]

I said goodbye to them before that!

[@GeneralSpookX]

Awesome! I wanted to keep the stock rims when I go to lift my Jeep, but didn't know for sure if it were possible. Now I know - Thanks!

[@AutoEdits]

[@joshuazelina7549]

I’d rather watch this than Netflix great videos!!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks! If you get a moment... watch one of my road trip videos... I like doing them!

[@codymccracken4962]

doing the same thing on my jeep! pretty stoked to see they fit on stock. I have a friend who recommended just getting the 2.5"metalcloak springs to give the lift you need to give you a cheap boost up.

[@AutoEdits]

+cody mccracken Hmmmm. I may try that budget lift thing! Thanks dude!

[@beirnefarm8988]

I also have one of those, a wife, that is. I can relate!

[@AutoEdits]

LOL!

[@bustedback]

Thanks for the Jeep video, keep them coming! Here comes the "but". Putting anti-seize on lug studs seems like a good idea, but it actually reduces the clamping force when the lug nut is torqued to spec. Sounds crazy, but it's true.

[@AutoEdits]

+alan jackson Yeah, I get ya. It's all good...I just don't like lug nuts rusted solid and wheels I can't get off!

[@bustedback]

+autoedit Nobody likes rusted nuts. Come north and we'll go wheelin. Bring Frieburger too.

[@AutoEdits]

+alan jackson LOL! OK

[@robertoramos8257]

looks cool for sure i like, but man I just don't approve of the spacers they definitly do damage

[@sycostang67]

This reminded me of a $400 1980 bronco I got with no lift and 35's when I was young. Lots of fun, but lots of rubbing. At least you have plans for gears and a lift.

[@RipCord329]

why the hell would you put 37's on stock suspension

[@Celtics_617]

Because some people say Fuck it

[@jeremygreiner6854]

Because most don't take them off road. If they did, the 37's would hit and rip the flares off, and the jeep would have zero articulation. Not to mention the short lifespan of the dana 30 and drivetrain.

[@alexakers9533]

its actually a dana 44

[@brandonjohnson7213]

jeremy greiner the Rubicon gets Dana 44 diffs front and rear

[@infantrycountry4593]

Because he’s a fucking idiot

[@megatherenow]

This was a 100% quality video. Keep up the good work. Solid stuff.

[@AutoEdits]

+Mark Franklin Well thank you very much!

[@jayorsilentbob8334]

As soon as he said lift with your back and not your knees I approved his video. Good joke my friend, I like telling my wife and kids the same joke.

Glad to hear from another person of "refined" comedy tastes... lol

[@tonyhogan3811]

Love it man don't listen to all these negative comments you have to start somewhere and at least you have some nice tires. I wish I had a set of those bad boys. Happy jeepin brother

+rogerst23 It's awesome to hear from someone like you and Welcome! I was hoping to share just an average dudes experience with this stuff and how to deal with the challenges.

[@onoff314]

If the tyre is bashing the car going out of the driveway then what would happen on a bigger off road bump?

[@AutoEdits]

+Onoff314 Probably rip the front fenders clean off. Stay tuned, I'm taking it out in the hills soon!

[@zeroburn6081]

actually it probably rub them and cause little to know damage..

[@jhoward103]

Know you are wrong about that. Know way it gets by without damage. I should No, because there's Know way to No. LoL

[@jhoward103]

I'm glad you fit the tires. I hope there are no bumps where you go offroading.

[@MrRayMac1963]

The single scariest thing in the vid was the choice to use your wife's scale. You're truly a mad man! I'm hooked. Good luck on the build!

[@GreenJeep1998]

Eh, I've personally put way more weight on one of those than the mounted 37's did, so long as he didn't drop something metal on them, he was fine.

[@MrRayMac1963]

It dangerous, not because of weight, but because i know what happens when i break my wife's stuff.

[@GreenJeep1998]

+MrRayMac1963 Eh, you'd have to get all butterfingers and drop that scale or drop something on it to break it.

[@nicklesordimes]

why would you damage and cut up your Jeep for something stupid like this? if you know you were going to cut it up, why not quit and get the suspension?

[@AutoEdits]

Easy, I knew the cuts and modifications I was making would still help gain maximum suspension articulation even when the lift kit was installed. Check back in a few weeks and I'll show you... I have a 3.5 inch kit coming.

[@longreach207]

If you have to ask such a question, you don't get it.

[@dre04mach]

That is damn light for 37s... I weighed my 35s albeit with steel 17s, at 118 lbs a piece... it was painful to say the least to lift them...

[@AutoEdits]

+dre04mach Wow, that is a big difference in weight. I wonder if the stock Rubicon rims are really light as well.

[@dre04mach]

+autoedit Yes, the steelies weren't light by any stretch of the meaning, but still. I wanted them mainly because they had the offset needed to not need spacers. In retrospect, spacers would still be lighter haha.

[@howardkim2067]

White letters out all day ^^v

[@AutoEdits]

Yup!

[@wildwoody20]

if you change the fenders to the smaller ones like the smitty bulit ones it will help. i put 35 tires on my JK with 2 and a half inch leveling kit. did 2 and a half in the front and 1 in the rear. looks good and plenty of wheel space and clearance

[@wowantonlavey]

37s on stock suspension? you might be a mall crawler about as good as an avalanche on 22 inch rims

[@brenoviani576]

112 lbs difference bye-bye gas mileage LOL

[@VortexArcade]

Cool video, now following your build. Those rear pinch seams were already cut on my 2013, so at some point Chrysler started doing that right at the factory. I did 2.5" lift and 315 (35") Duratracs all at once.

[@AutoEdits]

+VortexArcade Thanks! Which lift did you go with? I'm looking now for something...

[@VortexArcade]

+autoedit I went with a Teraflex, their kits include all the brake line relocation brackets and stuff some of the less expensive kits omit. I also had the standard Sport wheels, so I went with Procomp 7036 wheels. I would have considered spacers if I had the nicer Rubicon wheels you have!

[@stephenchristian5739]

i know all this info but i watched the entire thing, that as good a TU as u can get, nice fun to watch vid, not gonna go this big with my new JL but I had fun putting some new tires on mine the new ruby's come with some nice big space & great suspension, I carbon fiber-ed my dash, hood vents & windshield rake, powder coated my rims custom deep burgundy & white trim, (saved cash on new rims) & did the plastic roof top deep burgundy, so hard to come up with a color to go with the pumk'n O,

[@cncmover]

good work on that. I'm not sure if I'd recommend anti seize on lug nut studs. should maybe not ever put any sort of oil or anti seize unless it's truly rusted. lugs will work there way loose w lubricants

[@roryreed1768]

Agreed - the anti seize can be put on the mounting face, if you don't want it to stick to the hub/spacer, but not on the threads.

[@SavageSalad69]

Probably to save production costs. I guess they figure the customer can get bigger tires themselves if they want them

[@albertl3776]

I asked the same question to someone working for Mopar or Jeep at the booth at king of the hammers event, he said "the lawyers do not want over 32 inch tires." Figures.

I needed the 3.5 backspacing for the lift and didn’t want to run spacers, so I’m very happy with the direction I went. Buy once, cry once cry once is definitely true with Jeep upgrades.

[@AutoEdits]

Glad to hear that! Thank you for checking it out!

[@DownwithHunter]

I don't know if anyone else had said this, but you should not be putting antiseize on your studs. The extra layer or the antiseize in the studs completely changes the torque value when yiu torque it down and it will actually have more chance of the wheel falling off. If you have a problem with getting tough lugnuts off, just invest in a good impact. The studs are designed to not be used with any substance on them, but great video
