This guy has a JL and is answering questions

What you want to know is: axle width, wheel width, wheel offset. With those three measures you are set to make comparisons.

I don't think 1.5" difference in axle width will be a problem in terms of what most people might want to do. Aftermarket wheels come in various offsets. I don't see a problem installing a wheel with less positive offset (protrudes outward more from vehicle) an extra 0.75" each side, in case the owner wants same overall width as Rubicon. In fact, I wouldn't mind a bit more outside "dish" on a wheel for added protection of the wheel outer surface.

No MySpace?

C'mon you gotta! Everybody's doing it when they're not busy on Friendster.

Remember the axles are 1.5" wider per side. So if the backspacing is 6" it's like having a 4.5" backspacing. I can't wait too start modding a JL. Very much looking forward to it.

I believe the axles are 1.5" wider per axle not per side.

I don’t have much time these days for MySpace due to it being taken up ripping music from Napster and spending time on ICQ chat!

I hear they're talking about some new Wrangler on there. I think they call it a "TJ." Of course they're saying it's just going to be a piece of plastic junk and the YJ is the last "real" Jeep.

Yeah no question about it I am an old dude with a subtle sense of humor

I have read 3" total that the axle will be wider but I have read alot of mixed info in the last few months so I could be wrong. Now sure if Jeep has actually released this measurement

What COLOR IS THAT SILVER OR GRANITE CRYSTAL? THE HELL WITH BACKSPACING RIGHT NOW!

 

[theplankeye]

Silver

Having owned two billet silver JKs I'm going to have to say that it is Billet Silver. Granite looks much darker in low light. I nearly purchased one based off internet photos but it was too dark in person.
Here is a Granite JK in low light

 

[TTEChris]

Same Jeep, better lighting. Still darker than Billet

 

[Dynomite1371]

Silver

Thought so just wanted to make sure. The JL looks tough as hell. Folks that keep their JK might be hatting!

How does it drive?
