How your jeep do with the added weight from aftermarket wheels and tires?I put 94 miles on her since I picked her up yesterday and really didn't have any place to go !!......Just Cruizin up and down the coast and through the little villages
Oh wait ...I did get the two windows tinted ............and then drove everywhere !!!

Thats awesome. Now i can order lolRuns great !!! the larger tires and rims still respond very good !!!!
i was looking for the same thing. it took til post 347 on page 24, but there it is, finally. the picture you and i were looking for black rimsAnyone seen or have a snapshot of a Granite Crystal Rubi Unlimited with the black Jeep rims?
I had the same problem. I’m glad I got the tan, the pictures don’t do it justice.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
Awesome thanks. Do you have any pics of outside. Does the Granit shine up Nice? Any regrets with anything. I’m ordering MondayI had the same problem. I’m glad I got the tan, the pictures don’t do it justice.
No regrets! I ordered it March 5th and picked it up last Thursday. It cleaned and shined up nice.Awesome thanks. Do you have any pics of outside. Does the Granit shine up Nice? Any regrets with anything. I’m ordering Monday
Look great, congratulations !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".
About 2". Gives it a mean stance and I love it!Look great, congratulations !
How far your tires stick out from the fenders?
Looks badass!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.
