2018 2 Dr JL Rubicon
Tjax - I’m planning to get those same tires (with 1-1/2” spacers). Are you going to install a beefier spare tire carrier? Do you know the difference in weight between the stock 285 and the 315? Any problems mounting the larger spare? Thanks!
I installed the Mopar tailgate support and feel it does the job. I also installed the RC spacer that moved the tire up and out. I didn’t care for it and removed it. I was able to lengthen the brake line wiring, but couldn’t get enough slack for my comfort on the backup camera. I did leave the brake light raised. I like the way the tire stays tight to the tailgate without the RC spacer. It would be needed for any larger tire. The tire just barely rubs on the top of the bumper when opening and closing the tailgate.

I believe the stock Rubicon tire is ~ 58 lbs and the 315/70 R70 weighs about 65 lbs. Very happy with the tires!

I have a 2.5 RC spacer lift. Not sure I will install just yet.

Mine has also been on the train about a week, in Kansas City today. Jeep told me it is scheduled to get to the dealer in Houston between June 28th and July 8th. Should work out perfect, on a long road trip with my daughter and should get home about July 3rd.
Mine might be on the same train as yours I’m going back to ks to get mine. I believe theres a big holding pen in KC where they get on trucks from there

There is an Islandbunkie floating around with a build sheet and sticker floating around! 1/30 order, glad to see it!
Thanks Cristina, yes, that is me!!

Coming up on 5 months since ordering and I am hoping the jeep makes it up to Canada in the next few weeks. We leave on an overseas family vacation July 23rd so I am crossing my fingers that it arrives before then.

I am really excited, but a bit wary of how long it might take to get delivered having seen others have long delays here. I think I will be the last January order to finally get delivered, but from what I am hearing, it will be well worth the wait.

Love the fact that you notice Cristina, we all look out for each other :)
