I always see cool pictures where somebody's Jeep is on top of somebody else's Jeep. How is this done? Do you literally just stick it into 4-Low and just gently as possible, drive/crawl your way onto someone else's tires? Sorry, just seen pics, never in real life...
Lol, That is my wifes JL on top of my TJ on 38s. Lockers on, sway bar disconnected, 4 low. Crawl it slowly. I put my TJ on my wifes JKU in 2015 and won a Sprintex supercharger from Sprintex with the picture.

I am a newbie


Those wheels look amazing. I absolutely love the Ocean Blue color.
I've been trying to find wheels in 18" in green, been a bust so far. May I ask what that cost you to have done? Is it powdercoated? I'm sooooooo tempted to get some rims I like and try my hand at painting them . . . . I have a 70/30 ratio of success on stuff like that. :fingerscrossed:

Can always try Plastidip. If you muck it up, you just peel off and try again. Key is laying down thin layers and allowing to dry in between. Try not to get it so thick it wants to run. End result should look really nice!

My husb did a bit of bodywork on my bike this year (damn pebbles chipping my paint :mad:), and it came out REALLY good. It surprised him how good it came out. He got the paint from a place nearby that specializes in automotive paint . . . I wonder if that kind of paint will work . . .

Wow. Those are 315s? They look huge. Are you running a lift too?
Yeah 315’s no lift. I switched color and went up to 37’s. Pending MetalCloak lift. But this 37’s with no lift.

Vision offers their Fury with green pockets in size 18x8.5 ET+0. Here's a pic:

Are there any tools to let me mock up different wheels on a specific color JL to get a visual? I have a really hard time looking at lists of wheels and trying to imagine what they will look like mounted.

Thanks for the post! I saw those floating around on a website or two, but wasn't crazy about the design. Was hoping to find something more along the lines of this style:

And yeah, I can hope in one hand and s*** in the other :CWL:. I am keeping the Fury wheels in mind though . . .

Hey guys. Need help visualizing a possible wheel choice. Going to a wheel with +15mm offset with a 315 70 r17 tire. Will this combo stick out of the wheel well at all? Driving an 18 JLUR.

Lots of online wheel retailers have visualizers that let you accomplish this.
