Regarding tires - someone at JV had those tires and I wasn't all that impressed with them on those rocks - they seemed to lack lateral traction for such an agressive tire. That said - those rocks seem to like the BFG Crawler Comp and MTR tires best - and those tires aren't always great for everything else.
Do you have to run metric tires? If you can get back to 15" wheels your pocketbook will be much happier.
If you are building for a more streetworthy, towing, camping, fun, expedition TJ you might just find yourself a set of BFG All terrains and call it good. They work damn good in nearly everything, are super quiet and well mannered on the road, and last a long time.
Food for thought.

I told him to seriously consider the All Terrains but his weiner has to swing in much smaller circles if he does.
