Was going to get that same badge...

..but wasnt that badge made for the 75th anniversary JK's?

JL's would be 78th/79th year

...or is my thought process off and totally missing something. Actually hope I am, there a spot on my Jeep 2 of those badges would fit perfectly.

Anyway, they look really good bud.
I know 75th anniversary doesn’t add up for. 2018 JL but I like how it looks and it’s made specifically for the JL

Yes, absolutely...maybe I'm missing something in regards to the badge.

If someone else knows please chime in.

I mean, they made those sill guards for the JL so maybe that badge has more meaning than just "75th anniversary"

Well the first CJ came out in 1944. So 75 years after that you have a 2019...

They badge says '41' so, yes, your math is correct, but dont think that's what they referring to

There is a spot on my Mopar a pillar mountsbthat an all black badge would fit and look perfect.

However, that 75 year anniversary thing is killing it

Yup! Thanks man! I am not on any lift. Mine is just a Sport with the 44 rear axle. I upgraded the screen from 5.3” to the 7” and I think that’s why people get confused lol the wheels stick out just a tad which I like:

I agree. Based on my calculations and research and talking to several places like Discount Tire, 4WheelParts, etc.. at a -12 offset, you should be sticking out about 2.5” or so. From your photos that looks about bright. I was told to stick with +12 or more offsets, so that I only stick out 1.5” or so. But seeing yours, looks like I can run pretty much any offset -12 or more.

Edit: I too am planning on not doing a lift, just yet. Just nice wheels and tires.

Haha that’s where I fell in love with them! Jeep Beach!

Sorry for the lighting differences as I had to pickup my daughter in between the fronts and the rears..

I’ll get better photos tomorrow maybe..

Edit:

PS I used child safety to get my wife to approve.. We have young children. Maybe you could use that!
Looks great man. I’ll try to convince the wife of the tube doors. I too have 2 young boys, but I’m still running doorless in summer.

Btw, for a 285 wide tire, you still have to relocate your brake light for the spare???? I thought that should still fit???

Personal taste - but for me, end caps on. I know it limits your tire size and offroading in general, but still.



What lift do you have? btw I'm looking at the FMJ's too for wheels. What specs for wheel an tire do you have?
I have a fabtech with teraflex spacers. I just ordered the teraflex 4.5 springs. Waiting on those. The FMJ are 20x 12 with a -44 offset. 37x 13.50 milestars. Have all 8 arms in and complete steersmarts linkage.

Wow -44 those wheels and 13.5" tires must be 1/2 way past the flares Close to 5-6". You must of re-geared or new axles for a Sahara to sport those

Not at all. I have a M220 rear with a LSD...its a 6mt. It rides great. Not much use of 6th gear on the HWY. She stands very aggressive.

All four corners on. It rides very tight. South Florida doesn't have any rock climbing but I have trails out in Big cypress. Very satisfied with the ride.

Talk about reaching to try and make someone sound worse than what was said.

Dude, my thoughts and opinions are mine yes of course.

And no they dont represent anyone else but myself.

I didnt attack anyone??

Your comment is totally bogus, misrepresenting and fake.

Your trying to spin what I said.

Who wants to bet me this idiot is a liberal snowflake??!! I'll put the title to my Rubicon on it

Total fake news....what a loser
I’ll take that bet!
I’m a southern republican Coonass!
Male dedicated asshole!
So now that you have lowered yourself to insulting me too I’m guessing maybe your the liberal snowflake because that is what they mostly do!

By the way I’ll take your rubicon title too!
Nothing wrong with having two Ruby’s in the driveway!
