Waiting for the spacers to be delivered and installed to make it drivable. Will upload better pictures when it’s completed.

Pressures look high. That right rear tire should have debris all the way out the tread. Just my opinion

In Texas, you can tint the front windshield but it must have 90% VLT or greater - so almost perfectly clear but cuts out the UVs. I do it on all my cars.
In Texas you can only tint the windshield down to the AS1 line. You can NOT tint the entire front windshield. Former LEO here so I have some knowledge on the traffic code.

As a prior LEO....how often would you check tint on the drivers and passenger side windows? I know in Texas we can we can go with 25% in the fronts but I'm debating if I can get away with matching the back windows at 20%.

To check it you had to have a tint meter and I rarely carried one. Even when I did it had to be really dark or I really wanted to talk to the occupants to worry about it.

Lift and tires done. Went with spidertrax 1 3/4 spacers and I’m so glad I did. Gives it a nice stance. Hard to tell from the pictures.

I work literally around the corner from you guys and have what seems to be almost the same configuration. Looking forward to seeing some pics of how this works out!

Ordered March 3, picked up April 7th, dropped off 2014 Rubi. No complaints - drives great, interior noise it good. If it would get a little warmer here will get the soft top on.

Hey guys, so I finally completed my move from New York to California, and got to work on my JLUR.

You may remember the photo of my parents picking it up from the dealership for me - it was used in a few articles, and I included it below as a reference point to where my Jeep is now.

As you will see, this is no rock-crawler build. This Jeep is my daily commuter, weekend offroader. Mostly forest trails, fire roads, desert, sand dunes, etc. My wife and I also have to load my 1 year old boy in, hence the step.

Here's what's done so far:

1. The wheels are Fuel Beast, 18" x 9", with 4.5" backspacing and -12mm offset.

2. The tires are 35" x 12.5" BFG KO2s.

This wheel and tire combo will make the tires stick out around 2" from the wheel wells, which I think looks awesome. It's a dramatic difference over the stock tires that hide inside.

I purchased the wheels and tires from ExtremeTerrain.com, which shipped them mounted and balanced with TPMS sensors. They went right on with no trouble. Big thanks to them!

3. Mopar 2" lift ordered through Quadratec.com. Installed at 4WheelParts with alignment done too.

4. Mopar tailgate reinforcement kit.

5. Mopar oversized spare tire kit (may not be necessary)

6. Mopar grab handles, front and rear.

7. Redrock 13" antenna.

In my garage, waiting to go on:

7. Mopar grille and winch guard hoop for Rubicon steel bumper.

8. ARB twin on-board compressor.

9. Smittybilt Gen2 X2O 10,000 lb. Winch, Synthetic Rope & Wireless Control

10. Spider Web Shade

Ordered, and waiting to come in:

11. JCR winch plate for Rubicon steel bumper

12. MORE trunk wall compressor mount

13. Aries ActionTrac power "step-within-a-step".

Does anyone have pictures they could share of Granit with Tan interior? I’m struggling between black and Granit with Tan. Any suggestions black looks great in showroom but afraid will be dispointed as wont be able to keep clean and shiny
