Am I asking for trouble?

Local guy is looking to swap his 37" Mtrs for some 35" Mtrs...just what I have.

Do I dare? Or am I going to open a can of worms?

How well can you stay ahead of the snowball effect and how much $ are you setting aside for repairs/upgrades?

what is your drivetrain?

Why does he want to swap?

i'd stick with the 35's.
you'll be breaking stuff all the time.

The other thing to consider is what have you tried on 35's that you haven't made it over that you'd need 37's?

If you don't have a resonably lenght list, I'm not sure what the point would be.

Personally I'd take 35's and a winch now and again than 37s and potential kabooms.

I think I saw Steve in JP magazine at Chile Challenge. He needs 37's. With a buggy wrapped around them

OUCH!

Didn't your Jeep do everything you wanted it to do at JV?

I would stay away. Scott Hill wore out a lot of parts on his TJ with the same drivetrain and 37s.

IMO they just aren't worth the required investment.
