I agree with ur assessment
I also have to say that the fit and finish is noticeably high grade. Jeep has really upped their game on this vehicle. It really feels, looks and performs like a $45k vehicle - worth every penny

I know it has been confirmed it WAS a 3.6. but if you look at the pic of the engine bay, you can clearly see an alternator.

@Chicago, I saw somewhere the best PSI was 35-37.

33s? That’s stock from the factory on a Rubi, correct? @Chicago, take a look at the inside of your door frame next time you get in (near the seatbelt). There is a sticker there and it has the PSI printed on it - I thought it was 37 printed in there but can’t recall 100%. Check your door jam to be sure :)

Side note - my new tires came in today! Getting them put on this Thursday, along with my wheels.

37x13.5r17s.... going to be huge, lol, I’ll need a lift but hoping to keep it minimal - so I’ll get tires on first, then select lift after measuring.

I also ordered side steps today - I went with the Iron Cross option as it looks the cleanest to me from what I’ve seen so far (close second was ROAM).

Lastly, I got my Tazer all set up today with a few changes made. That went smoother than expected - took about 15 minutes including the install.

You should be fine running 35, if that gets you in to your spot go for it. You will also get a slightly softer ride. The downside would be slightly worse MPGs as well as potential different tread wear (more wear on the outsides of your tires than on the insides - opposite of over inflating). Nothing too crazy though with just 2 PSI.

Getting close.... I still need to get the Lange hoist installed in my garage (for the hard top), and also get the hard top headliners installed (I have the hotheads option sitting in the basement)... tire relocation bracket will go on when they do the new tires... and I’m on the fence about a new front bumper.

I think there are some other parts laying around in the basement that I bought ahead of time, honestly can’t remember anymore - it’s been so long, lol.

Lol yeah, I definitely started passing the time by researching mods and buying stuff, somewhere along the way there... I have so much stuff now!
I didn’t get to crazy , I just bought mats lol , I really like the stock tires and rims , but I could see in future wanting to go bigger
