Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the insight. That's probably a better way to do it. Impressed with how fast it dropped you down!

My record with tubular doors (and Lange Coyotes) in situ was a brisk 54° degree morning in May. Not in a hurry to do that again, lol.Two weeks in, finally stripped the doors off and put on the Lange Coyote mirrors. At 65 degrees, a bit chilly but why not...

ObiMatt - what wheels are those? OEM I think but not original to the Saraha?What did I do TO my Jeep today? Took it for the third time to Hidden Falls Adventure Park in the Texas Hill Country and did the reverse of washing it, looking for every mudhole there was, especially on Hog Alley. Had an awesome day out.

If what I've seen locally is accurate, they're factory alloys for the JK-era Jeeps.
(I hope Matt doesn't mind me jumping in line here.)

Wow! I bow to your willingness to bang up your steps to that level, but nice job!The family went through a few rock gardens while trail riding at the Killbuck Jeep Jamboree… we had our sidestep angles adjusted!
Looks like a beautiful area and a lot of fun. That whole Kentucky/Ohio/Great Lakes region is one on our relatively near-future travel list. Partially for just that reason.

John, you are right, they are not original to the Sahara, which comes with 18-inch five spoke ones that I actually liked. Last year I downsized to 17-inch Quadratec Hardrocks to give me more choices in tires as I replaced my OEMs with Mickey Thompson ATZ P3s. That has been a great combination.
These wheels, and several in the Quadratec line, are "inspired" by OEM designs with their own take on the ideas and modifications such as offset (these give a +10). For my needs, these are a great balance of a good price, excellent quality, functionality, and looks. They come in four color choices, all of which look great. I was torn between the Machined Black, Satin Black, Smoked Bronze, and what I ultimately chose, Gun Metal. All would have been great choices in my mind.

Don't mind you jumping in at all, James. In this case, though, they are aftermarket Quadratecs, replacing my OEM 18-incher 5-spokes.

@ObiMatt87I'm right there with you. Never Forget.
To each his own... it's your vehicle
But, why do you keep the dealer's ad sticker on there?
Dealership ad/sticker, license plate frames and such truly detract from the looks of a vehicle...
It really detracts from your thought provoking, 9/11 sticker also..

I actually agree, Rhinebeck, and have been meaning to take it off for some time. Just hadn't done it up until now. It'll be off soon, actually.
