How have you found the difference in gas mileage and power between the stock tires and the new 35s? How off is the MPG and speedo gauges?
3mph and the gas Milage isn’t noticeable. Jeep drives just fine.

Damn, I just checked out your wife's instagram. You're a lucky dude! Can't wait to see the Moab videos.

What I find hilarious is that you are doing all this extreme off-roading and you still have your temporary license plate. LOL.

What lift did you go with?
The super cheap rough country 2.5”. Very easy install. We filmed a how to video that will be posted. Ride is noticeably firmer especially on bad roads and high speed. I’m hoping it smooths out some

So you did Moab without the lift? Did you feel you needed to lift it?
I just posted the video in a new thread but I’ll also post it here. No lift needed at moab for the most part but I did do some scraping. Lift would have helped that or taking a bypass or different line but I like the challenge.

Yup, that’s ours!! No lift needed for 35s. No rubbing. Worked flawlessly. The underbody clearance is my only gripe and since I plan on doing hard trails a lot I ordered a 2.5” lift to keep the underside from hitting all the time but the skids are beefy. This thing is definitely great both on and off road. I’d buy it again 100x over and I also have a land cruiser on 40s
Did you add wheel spacers when you put on the 35” tires?

Not at first. We took it out without spacers and no problems. Then added spacers and took it out and again no problem. I’d recommend the spacers for stability and looks.
