MOJITO! Wrangler JL Club

[Bkenyon53]

Tires: Cooper STT Pro, 37x13.5r17

Bumper: DV8 FS-18, does not show as a JL bumper, but you see the pic.

Lift: Rough Country 2 in spacer lift, temporary so mama got her tires and wheels on, I'll decide on permanent lift later.

Rails: N-Fab tube step, Rubi rails removed.

Regear: Not at this time, did FlashCal to adjust tire size so 8sp acts correctly. I'm thinking for the street, the 4:10 gears and low first of the 8sp should be fine. Off road, the Rubi transfer case is geared lower than other models, so shouldn't have any issues there. Time will tell.

Same tires I'm going with. Seems like the Coopers are the way to go as far as keeping the smoother ride with a more aggressive tire.

Did you do the install of the RC lift? If so, how long did it take...and how difficult? (I'm not a mechanic but I do know how to turn a wrench) Eventually I'd like to do a permanent full kit but I want to wait until more options are available.

I absolutely love the wheels, I'm still thinking about them! I just can't decide if I want to keep the 33's or go bigger. I know I'm going to get thrashed for saying that lol....but I do drive about 20k miles a year

I don't know what mileage the Cooper STT Pros will give, but I can tell you the Cooper ST Maxx wears very well. I have them on my work truck with about 30k and they still look like 50% tread left.

I also have the Goodyear DuraTrac 35x12.5r20 on my Ram with 22K on them and they show almost no wear. Goodyear rotates and balances them for free twice a year, and they are impressed with the tread wear.

I say all this for one thing...
Go BIGGER!!

Just my $0.02...

I didn't do the install, more of a time and space issue for now, but have done them in the past. It isn't difficult, and can be done in a few hours.

Mojito! madness reached new heights today.

Does the green on the wheels match the vehicle color to the naked eye? I've been REALLY thinking about those wheels but was worried they might be a different shade and it would constantly catch my eye and piss me off.

We ordered them before seeing the Mojito! in person, once we did we were a little worried. But now...

Couldn't be happier.

It's like Vision Offroad knew something the rest of us didn't.

This might be a stupid question... When you order the wheels, do you need to get the TPMS for each? Or how does that work?

TPMS sensors are in each wheel. Chrysler uses a 433mhz frequency. I found a 5pk on amazon for $110.00

Hope the link works, these are the ones I used.

Also, your stock lug nuts will not work well, the socket to remove them from the new wheels will scratch. I went with spline drive lug nuts.

Awesome, VERY helpful.

You don't have a link to the lug nuts, do you? I'm feeling needy today. lol

I put those on Mama's Mojito! We went with black interior, I can say they look really good.

I got them from 4 Wheel Parts...

...these are the black ones. They are offered in chrome if that's your choice. I opted for the 24 pc so I could use the extras on the spare. If you shop for other styles, just make sure you get M14x1.5 size.
