7.50 x 16 are probably optimum for use with the D30 front axle.
My current build cannot run anything taller than STA 6.50 x 16.
The 30-1/2" tall tires are starting to rub the frame and springs at maximum possible steering angle of 29*.

I' going to have to bring BAM BAM over there this winter to see how your 750s look on him.

Stop by any time. I can also bring them to the Mason Dixon show next Sunday if you are going to be there.

Progress. Today I replaced the accelerator pedal, pivot, pin and spring. It had about as much side to side play as idle to full throttle travel. Frustrating to drive it that way. Now it's nice! I found a new accelerator pedal last week at the Mason - Dixon show, and already had the other parts, in anticipation of repairing it.

Any spare pedal springs laying around?  ::) :-[

Walcks has them in a kit with other stuff. I think AJP has it separately. It's just a piece of spring steel, if you can find the raw material - just make one.

Cool photos.

Looks like Bam-Bam.  Who belongs to the orange 3B?  I don think I've seen it before.

Okay, just did a double take.� Is that Bam-Bam...with a roll bar?

Edit:  I did get the springs from AJP.  Thanks for the lead.

Bam Bam has seat belts, and that roll bar installed for now, to comply with the rules of the off-road park. X98 and OJ also have roll bars and seat belts!

Nice pictures. I think Bam Bam is a Jeep Roving Machine! He's everywhere. Europe soon huh? Jeff deserves a award for the most driven and trail tuned Jeep. Drive it there, crawl it, and drive it back. Reminds me of the old 50's race car days where they drove the race cars to the track. John

Sorry to be late to the party:









Seth is "Windyhill"

Of the 3 jeeps, it was clear that X98 was the most able.  Some do to mechanics, some due to driver experience.  It was definitely a blast!

Here are two videos:

You guys got with it. Nice videos. A narrow front bumper looks to be a plus in rocks like that. Next you'll need the M38 waterproof ignition and go play in water.   ::)

So Bob.... Was X98 running a T90A transmission in the Rausch creek video.?
You coming along on your T90C build ?
First and second gears will be about 10% lower with the T90C.
I feel that a 10% change is just enough to notice a real difference.
I expect that you have a rear traction differential ?

Looking real good.

By the way I bought that OEM Willys Motors T90 gasket and seal set just to get the copper front bearing cap bolt seals.
