Thanks for the picture, this is exactly what I ordered on the outside. I’ve been waiting to see the white with a body colored top but with the black fenders and the steel bumpers. It looks great at night, white cars always show well under the lights. I order 2 tops, tan soft top with the tan leather, can’t wait to see how it looks in the flesh.

Looks great! What brand and size are the wheels? Did you go with a wider wheel that the stock wheel for the bigger tires? Thanks!
The wheels are 17x8.5" vs the stock 7.5". They have -10 offset, giving me 4.4" backspacing ... the same backspacing used on the Mopar wheels. I figured I'd be safe with clearance that way. They are American Outlaw Revolvers.
I stayed with 33" tires for now. I plan to lift it 2" within the next year, then decide whether to stay with 33s or go to 35s when the 33s wear out. The KO2s were just a bit out of my budget, so I found another tire in my budget with good reviews on road, off road, and in snow... Pathfinder A/T 285/70/17.

I'm curious with what you did with the takeoff tires and wheels.

So the mopar beadlock wheels from the catalog are 4.4 bs?

Picked up a Firecracker JLU Sport S from a lot on Monday. It had just arrived. I put 33s on it this morning. The guys at Discount Tire were freaking out to see a JLU in person, haha. Pics are from night of purchase & this morning after new wheels.
