Right now we just film our weekend adventures. The plan is to do YouTube full time and travel all over the country and the world eventually. Meeting up with subscribers and having them take us to their favorite places and having more people in the area we are headed to tag along for the experience.
Waiting on a rear bumper with spare tire carrier to carry the 38” Patagonias but I had an opportunity to run the Rubicon Trail so I crossed my fingers and ran it with the Patagonia’s on the stock spare tire carrier with Rough Country relocation bracket. The rear was full with the ARB fridge and 4 days worth of camping gear so I couldn’t put the spare inside the Jeep. Luckily I didn’t cause any tailgate damage, not the best idea but I didn’t want to miss out on the Ribicon Trail.

I love the stance of your Wrangler but it doesn’t look like it has space for a lot of suspension travel did it rub on the trails?Waiting on a rear bumper with spare tire carrier to carry the 38” Patagonias but I had an opportunity to run the Rubicon Trail so I crossed my fingers and ran it with the Patagonia’s on the stock spare tire carrier with Rough Country relocation bracket.

I had plenty of droop but due to all the weight I was carrying (ARB fridge, water, food, tents, and a bunch of other camping and recovery gear) my up travel was lacking. The stock suspension could not handle all of the extra weight, but I only rubbed my inner fenders a handful of times. I had trimmed my inner fenders once I saw how much the rear sagged after being loaded with all my gear, so it would have been worse.
Without the gear in the back do you think you would have still had any inner fender issues? Are you using spacers on your wheels?
Without the gear I “should” be fine and not touch the inner rear fender liner at maximum articulation due to the trimming I did. No spacers on the wheels, the Dirty Life 9303 DT-1 wheels have a -12 offset and 4.53 backspace which give me plenty of space.
