Thank you, l had black wheels, but I like these too. I think they would look better on there if I added some bronze accents.
Mine is a Willys and came with black wheels. I have felt all along Bronze would be better. I agree that some bronze accents would help.

My last one was a Willys with black wheels. Then I had the black wheels on my current one. and most people didn't even notice it was a different Jeep.

Installed the Hothead Headliner Skyliner and side window panels that I won from the forum while I was in Moab last year. It was too cold to install when I received them and I had other projects that took precedent earlier this year. Plus it was the hottest it has been all year the last few days and the heat is supposed to help it stick.

Having had one on my last Jeep I am excited about how much heat it will block from the top this summer. I was sitting in my Jeep in the sun earlier in the day and the heat radiating from the top on the inside made me wish I brought it with me to put on the velcro strips I installed the day prior.

Thanks again to @Hothead Headliners

Helped a buddy install some new shocks on his stock rubi. Gave me a chance to do some measuring. 37" BBATs and 2.5" clayton springs vs stock rubi

Diff height on his is 9 7/8" and 11 3/4" on mine

Frame height right in front of the drivers side rear LCA bracket 14 7/8" on his and 18 7/8" on mine.

I do have a decent amount of weight in the back of mine. Springs, shocks and LCAs from an old lift I was selling and tools and recovery gear in the wooden storage boxes.

Also he had to leave early so I made him this cardboard chicken to surprise him when he gets back to his shop.
