lol wow Russ. Epic fail. Can't get your mind out of the axle. :p But seriously, build a new rear bumper comp cut the tub, and you'll be good to go.

Probably no help here, but when I got 31's the tire was too wide/the bolts on the tire carrier too short for me to mount it. Since they were pressed in, and my hammering was bending the carrier, I simply drilled 3 new holes and fitted 3 longer bolts (I still need to weld them lol). Works well with a 31 but I'm not sure if the stock carrier, especially for a TJ, will be strong enough to support a 35 without some sort of strengthening.

Best way to get the pressed in ones out is with a torch :)
