38's & 40's JL Pics W/Lift Kit! Post Em Up

[CZ 75]

These appear to be (or at least they are what I'm running) Rubicon fenders that were split and braced with American Adventure Labs' Highline bracket with LED's. They offer as much, if not more, clearance than just about any aftermarket fender accessory.

Nice. Didn't know about that product. Im finding too many aftermarket options that don't retain the led strip. Sweet!

Are those aftermarket fenders with built in LEDs and signals? Tell me more

They are stock Rubicon fenders that have been split in half with the signal light kit provided by American Adventure Lab.

Let me know when you're ready to get that beast off the pavement. I'd love to meet you at Windrock and you can break her in..

Nitto Ridge grapplers 38 13.5. I am changing my Nitto 37 to 38 13.5 today! Great quit stable tire.
Pic is the 38 13.5 next to my 37 12.5. Also run a teraflex ST 3.5 with falcons 3.3 the Re-gear is also getting done today to 4.88 with the 37 I was seeing much 7th and 8th gear so I figured with 38 it’s got to get done.

Looks great. Is that a 2.5" lift?

 

[CPJLUR19]

Thanks Rusty! It’s a Tera Flex 3.5 ST with 3.3 falcon adjustable shocks.

LOVE, love, love that wheel and tire combo! My 37x12.50R20 setup is enroute right now. I didn't want to regear, but boy did I want 38x20s...

Now you just need to add about a 1 inch spacer to your lift up front. Looking a little nose heavy. THEN you'll be done...

Yeah right, does it ever end?

 

[CPJLUR19]

Thanks Fire Burns! Yes I did notice the front Lean. Spacer should fix that. I was worried the 20 wouldn’t look good but happy with overall look.

When I had the 37 on mine I wasn’t finding 7th and 8th gear often. I have the turbo engine maybe that’s why So I decided to re- gear for the 37. Then I said what the hell I might well get the 38 if I’m re-gearing lol!!! That’s where I am now.
Have 37 12.5 20 nitto Ridge grapplers with 200 miles on the for sale !! I’m in CT

Yeah I have the same lift and mine doesn't sit like that. Also went 5.13 gears.

Weird. Maybe @CPJLUR19 should contact TeraFlex for some ideas.

Could also put the ride on a quick diet. @CPJLUR19, I see you have the full stock Rubicon steel bumpers, plus the Warn winch, plus the Maximus-3 SLP hoop (in red no doubt). That's quite a bit of weight up front.

I also have the steel Rubicon bumpers and the same hoop, but in black. While I don't have a winch (just yet), I was very surprised how much the stock removable bumper wings/extensions weighed when I took them off. And while I removed mine for cosmetic reasons, you, with those big 38s perhaps should remove the wings for possible clearance issues anyway. Indeed, as heavy as they are, your nose might even come up as much as a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch. Worth a try if you ask me, and helluva lot easier than adding a spacer.

Plus it looks badass IMHO!

 

[CPJLUR19]

Thanks Rusty. Yes it does look badass with the wings off! I just stop by Truck Toyz here in CT that’s who did my lift mods ect. We realized that the top pick is parked on a down slope so it looks worse lol. It does still lean a little I think your 100% correct the weight from the winch, plates and brackets,. I remove the wings and put 3 people in the back seat lol!!! I’ll put up a pic of another view also I think soft top makes it like it means I had the top down today and it doesn’t look as bad.

I’m having the inside of my hard top painted black
Can’t stand the white and putting the sound or off panels on should be done next week.

Hey Rusty with 5.13 you need 40s!! Jeep looks great I love the color!
