I’m pretty sure a 33” tire will fit on a stock Sahara. I’ve seen a few posts and threads on here. Maybe others can chime in or correct me if I’m wrong.



I’ve never heard of a 5 tire rotation, but it makes sense now that I think about it. What’s the rotation pattern?
33” will fit just fine on a Sahara, I’m running Moab wheels with Rubi KO2’s without any issues

Caution: That may interfere with passenger airbag deployment
Good advice!
Imaging that thing slapping you in the face going over 100 mph!

Sure... I just did what @Jo’s Jeep said he did, it was real simple. Cleaned it, sanded it with some 300 grit sandpaper, wiped it down with alcohol, and painted it with rustoleum high heat paint. I used flat black. Cost 10 bucks for paint and sandpaper and an hour of my time. This is definitely the cheapest mod I’ve done so far..lol....:)
Thanks! Removed the muffler or did it while installed?

I did it in place, on 37s there was enough room I just did it on a creeper rolling around. The best part is you don’t have to worry about overspray under there, lol. I just covered my shocks because they’re silver but other than that it was really pretty simple. The hardest part was getting behind the tow hitch, if you have the tow package, you’ll have to spray from both sides of it towards the center. That’s if you don’t want to remove it. I wasn’t crazy about that idea. But you’ll do fine, post pic when you’re done. I see you have a red rig, muffler seems to look better black on red ones because the black goes good with the red, looks really good, @melendez69 has his done on his red rig and looks great.......:)

Picked up a JLU Rubicon take off suspension last night for my JL Rubicon. I should get about 2 inches if it works similar to the JK's. I will advise once I get it in

Do you know if it came off a hard top with steel bumpers? Can you post the spring part numbers?

i hope so. the ride is so different with the Rubicon springs. I find it more comfortable on the longer drives Than the stock sport springs

I find myJLRubi to be softer than my 15 JKU was. I am hoping for height and a stiffer ride.

First time taking the doors off, added crappy hinge mirrors that won't stay still, some nice lower hinge foot pegs, and some towel seat covers...before heading for my first drive on Daytona Beach.
