Just a whole nother level
It will be interesting to see on how it clears lines that you ran in 40s verses the 42s. With the increased height and rotation is it worth the trade offs of the weight and clearance.
But the Jeep looks insane with them. Proportionally like a JKU in 40s. I agree that shot on the lift was pretty damn cool, but not practical. Will opening the wells up a bit will give it more of that look.

Wow! I have been wondering if Nitto would ever do 42’s. I love my Nitto 40’s, the most balanced tire I have ever run. When you need zero lead to balance a 40 that’s a testament to the construction.
Did it take much weight to balance the 42’s?
I guess the question now is do I buy 42’s for my JKU, or a JT for my 42’s?

:cheesy: Tell me about it!
Agreed. And, I think they look a little odd on a JL.
The Gladiator looks great on these
Not that it was bad on 40s, but this is a whole new level.
That said, the 42s look about 4" taller than the 40s.
Maybe that is the new math at work
Weird how that is but I totally agree. Seeing them in person, our 40's look like 37's :crazyeyes:
Thanks! I really think they will soon become the go to size on big JT's.
holy motherthose are massive! but damn, they look good. :thumb:
ummm...where's the pic of you standing next to it?
LOL - I don't want to look any shorter than I already am :crazyeyes:
LOL - crazy ain't it? :crazyeyes:
Yeah, we need to order up new springs and will be doing some trimming for sure. But, with that, I think the 42's will definitely help with the break over angles. :yup:
If we get a chance, we'll definitely have to swap them in just to see. :crazyeyes:
It's not too bad in the rear but up front, we're rubbing our fenders good just turning the tires on flat ground. Even after trimming, I'd say we need at least another full inch of lift or maybe 2 to make it clear well.
LOL - we can't really run them effectively as is and it'll be a while before new springs come in. It'll make more sense for us to get back on 40's until our set of wheels and tires and coils come in. :yup:
It's funny because I still don't think I'd want to run anything bigger than a 40 on Moby. On the JT, the 42's just fit the part and I think they'll definitely help out on the rocks.
Thanks guys
LOL - and of the same make and model. I was expecting these to be bigger but had no idea of how much bigger they were going to be. :crazyeyes:

We literally mounted up the tires and took off. No balancing and even at 85 MPH, no issues. Like the 40's, these really are round tires. :yup:
Hope you can get one and sooner than later.

LOL - I could never hope to be as cool as an IG hero.

Those look awesome Eddie, and I honestly think it would look even better lifted a couple more inches. [emoji106]

I feel like we’ve been waiting forever for these to show up! I’m in the market for new tires and I almost talked myself into holding out for them but I think I’m going to pass. I know I’m going to be the odd man out but I just think the 42’s are too much tire. Might be great on a buggy but I foresee a lot of broken axles coming from these even for those running 60’s or bigger. Still pretty cool to see a 42” Trail Grappler though!

42s seem like the perfect tire for this new platform. What are you thinking of running otherwise?

39” KM3’s. They’ll be better suited for for what I’ll be doing with the truck.
