Looking for some ideas on more aggressive off road type tires on the stock 20" Sahara rims. Maybe oversized ones without a lift? Not sure how big you can go without a lift or leveling kit.

Wow, both of those trucks look fantastic! It's one thing to read about most people wanting to do lifts and larger tires but to see pictures of it done ... damn! Great job!

I had a 2010 GLK and the transmission went at 25000 miles. The dealer blamed the new rims and tires I put on. He said the 4matic should have been reprogrammed. That was the only car I ever bought non-stock tires for but now I’m considering it for my Jeep. These pictures are rad and I want to reduce the likelihood of scratching the rims. Does changing the radius of the tire affect the computer - transmission/4wd synergy long term?

Increasing your tires a small amount up to maybe 35" shouldn't do anything harmful to the drivetrain. I doubt 37's would add much more wear and tear. Wranglers are made to run bigger tires from the factory, so the rig can handle it. Your 4xe has some pretty heavy duty parts to cope with the extra weight and power of the 4xe system as well. If you have a Sahara with 3.73 or a Rubicon with 4.11's all the better. The only thing I would do is get JScan or a Taser to let the computer know you have bigger tires.
