New Warn low bar and light bar installed.
Thanks. It is the Warn Low bar.That set up looks REALLY AWESOME.....is that the Mopar bar? or a different one?
Thanks, JESM.
Virginia is the place to go.. I got my MOAB there as well for about 10K off MSRP.You can't go by invoice prices, invoice prices are an artificial thing put in the minds of consumers to make you feel like you got a good deal. High volume Jeep Dealers cost for a vehicle can be way below MSRP and invoice numbers based on the volume incentive they get from FCA. I paid $10K below MSRP for my 2018 Moab, the same dealer in my area has 2019 Moabs on the lot with internet prices $7K - $8K below MSRP
Hi guys! Would you guys mind backing me up in my thinking or providing alternative thoughts? Thought this was as good of a place as any cause I feel like I'm not a real Jeeper with a Moab ;-)
I had my dealer install the BFG 285/70R17 KO2's on my Moab and they look great and IMO no lift is needed, especially considering that I'm 5'6" and 65+.
I think you can get 285/75 tires that won’t rub. They are an inch taller than stock. I’m going to get those in KO2s once the mud tires wear out. I think 315s can rub on full turn due to the extra width. Need spacers for wider tires.Hi guys! Would you guys mind backing me up in my thinking or providing alternative thoughts?

The JL is our third car, our fun car, and my work/ranch car. I will not be off roading, but will be driving on some poorly maintained gravel roads when driving on the ranch, but otherwise will be all on road, paved roads. In my past JK I did a Teraflex leveling lift and 285/70 KO2s and loved the look. This time around I am thinking of going the same size (285/70/17) but in a slightly more forgiving all Terrain like the Continental TerrainContact. This tire is less than an inch taller than the 255/75s that come with the Moab.
I feel like a small leveling lift might be in order, but I really don't want the Jeep to be much higher as I put kids in and out and I"m not as young as I used to be and it's already a bit of a jump in there for me.
Some of my concerns/thoughts:
- are the 285/70s gonna be big enough visually?
- even if they are, will I then want a leveling lift visually?
- will I regret not going 315s? (are the 315s in the JL the equivalent of the 285 upgrade in the JK? I will need spacers with the 315s in my understanding.
As of now, I'm just thinking of going with the TerrainContact 285s and calling it good.
I would appreciate any input you may have. Wanting to get the tire thing done fairly soon as I have a lot of ranch trips over the summer (4 hour one way drive ... 3:15 on paved roads).
Contemplating kinda the same... I'm thinking either 285's with no lift or 315's w/ spacers and Mopar 2" lift. I've read a lot about both setups and seen plenty of pictures, I like both. Just a matter of how big I wanna go (and of course how much I wanna spend). I'm not good with decisions...Hi guys! Would you guys mind backing me up in my thinking or providing alternative thoughts?
