Tankcustoms Transformation

[WranglerMan]

Well I dropped off my JLU Sahara at Tankcustoms here in Houston with @TTEChris and he’s doing my lift along with spare tire relocator

This is what I started with

2018 JLU Sahara with stock 18” factory wheels running 255/70R18 Bridgestone Duelers

And here is what I currently have to look at:

And after talking to @TTEChris and changing my mind like 100 times I went with these wheels:

Method MR312 17x9 -12 offsetwith BFG 315/70R17 KO2’s

And here is how my ride currently sits at Chris’s shop

He did send me a little teaser

And if you know of anyone in Houston looking for a set of nice 18’s that have low mileage please contact Chris or me

I am looking forward to posting the completed pics soon so stay tuned

I like those wheels. I'm assuming you are lifting your JL too? Which kit if so? Looking forward to seeing the finished pictures.

Thanks for posting this, I have a similar build in Granite crystal, went with the bronze 312 on 35 x 12.5 K02 with mopar lift... Wheels come in on friday.

I was going to go with a much more expensive lift but Chris recommended the RC 2.5” lift with spare tire relocator, he said this particular lift uses existing springs and shocks so this along with the C rated KO2’s should give me close to the ride I had before the lift, it’s not going to be super smooth and quiet due to the differences between the two tires as the stock is a all season type tire.

Here’s a quick update, got back late form @TTEChris shop Tankcustoms here in Houston and then had stuff to do at home but Chris snapped a quick pic of my new setup and I promise to post more once I get the Red Devil clean but it turned out wayyy better than I expected with the lift 2.5” lift he installed and new wheels and tires so he is the only current pic I have but promise to post more

I am thinking my next Mod if you want to call it that is a Taser JL

 

[WranglerAz]

I will be getting a Tazer JL too, you will enjoy it.

Couple more pics, came out amazing!

 

[WranglerMan]

As I said and promised here are finally some pics of my new look, @TTEChris did a super job and was a real pleasure to work with at Tankcustoms so whoever in the Houston area please take time to visit with him for lifts, tires, lights and bumpers, I’m sure he offers more but what sets him apart from a lot of shops is he takes his time and never pressures or rushes you thru the process of upgrades

Very nice setup... congrats

 

[WranglerMan]

And Taser JL has been ordered

 

[TTEChris]

Looks even better at home than it did at the shop.
Congrats!

Looks Great! So, when you say you went with the 2.5" lift and used your springs and shocks, do you mean the RC 2.5" spacer lift or something else? I'm trying to learn all this stuff so forgive me if this is obvious...
