Is anyone throwing 37s on their rig?

I will once I get it. I am also looking at something like 3.5" lift.
I have not decide what tire/lift combination yet.

Ordered. Sting-Gray, Black Leather, Black dual top group, black fenders, auto, LED, safety, proximity, steel bumpers, cold weather, safety, tow, and infotainment.

Personally I wouldn't worry about it, the stock gate can probably handle it just fine. There are others that prefer to err on the side of caution, but I think even Jeep has said that you can run a 35" spare without any reinforcement.

Just to give you some background, I have consistently used a spare tire bike rack on my JK with its stock 32" tire. The bike rack adds weight, and obviously so does the bike, especially since I'm usually hauling a fat tire bike, which is heavier than a normal bike. I have had mine and another bike on that rack for long road trips, and have not experienced any issues.

Unless you are adding 50+ pounds to the existing setup, I wouldn't worry about it (and you aren't).

Thank you, my biggest struggle seems to be finding the right tire with the Sahara 18 inch wheel! I had 285/70/17 on my JK and don't want to go smaller. I can't seem to find 285/70 tire on 18" wheel. not sure why? and don't want 285/65, so the next size up is 305

This is my second time ordering a jeep from the factory (1st time for a 2014). I have to tell everyone, the wait does not get easier! This is the absolute worse! If it wasn't for wanting this awesome sting gray color, I would have bought one of a lot by now! In the end it will be worth the wait, but until them, this is brutal!

Please, explain further

What is happening from the KO2 tires (notorious for slinging small rocks) on the Rubicon. This owner reported after just 1000 miles. I’m going to have to do something......I hope by changing out the rock sliders to an Nfab style step/rock crawler that it deflects some of these.

Oh wow! How awful!

Is this proof that Sahara now includes the fuel door?

I guess it does. Note the fuel door says FUEL not JEEP.

Got her home, took the freedoms off and drove around. Got my first “wave”, have to admit kinda cool .

Took the “free” spare cover off with advertising all over it.

Loving the color every time I look at it!

Got our window sticker this weekend and Jeep Chat confirmed we're in KZ, on a rail car, with estimated arrival 5/3 to 5/13!

Really need to sell the JK now!

oh no, I don't want that to happen. I was planning put on KO2

 

[drummerchick]

I ordered some 3m paint protection film to cover the hinges.

Look on the main general thread. A day of so ago someone was posting they are going to make the protective film pre cut for the hinges.

I will have the sahara, so the running boards may deflect some.
