looking Jeep!!!3.5 JKS Lift with 20x9 Fuel Vapor DDT with 37x13.5r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Regear to 5.13 as well.
Thanks!!!! I was initially against 20" wheels, but my shop convinced me to 20s instead of 17s based on my daily driving miles and my on/offroad mix. Their claim was better balancing of the tire / wheel combo and better offroad manners. I still have a good amount of sidewall. It is the reason I went to a 13.5 wide tire to get a bit more contact before airing down. Time will tell, and I hope I don't' regret sticking with 17s.
I love the 5.13's! I see major debates back and forth between both. For me, the deciding factor was that 4.88 is widely accepted to "return to stock." My Jeep is a daily driver with a 90 mile round-trip commuted. With 33s and 4.10, I was consistently not hitting 8th gear at maintaining highway speeds. I just passed my break-in on my gears and have been happy. I used the regearing time as a good opportunity to replace the diff covers as well.
The KC bar is awesome! No whistling or other wind noise and I love the classic round look. They are expensive, but I couldn't be happier.
Nice! I totally agree on the classic styling of the round lights. I'm running similar stuff on my old Ram and my JL, I just could never get into the brick shaped LED barsThanks!!!!

Hope this doesn't take the thread too far off topic, but here are some pics. BTW - no pics can do the brightness justice, and I'm sure this holds true to any light bar pictures
Took advantage of a foggy night to get a beam pattern pic.
Wow. I’m definitely going to do the lights. How about the a-pillar lights. Do they block your view much?Thanks!!!!

No, you do notice that they are there, but they aren't major obstructions. I can take a picture from the driver's seat later and respond hrere.
Yeah, but do they make that cool electronic whooshing sound when he drives?
That would be awesome. Much appreciated!
I wish... but sadly no... I can hum it though
Okay... last question... I think. What light and beam pattern did you go with on the a-pillar? I’m in the middle of ordering and am not sure!Thanks!!!!

I went with wide 40 for the pattern and have them aimed slightly out. I wanted maximum coverage when cornering a trail at night. I have them all wired to AUX1. If I had them separately, I might have done a driving or spot patten. KC shows a nice description of their patterns.
Thank you for answering all my questions. ORDERED!
Cool! What did you decide?
