Hello forum. New JL member

[cameljockey]

I was able to finally get my JL. Unfortunately my 1st JL went back as it had paint issues but I’m pretty happy with my 2nd JL.
The dealership experience was good and swapping Jeeps went very easily as the GM was disappointed in the quality of the paint and finish.
Moving on, I’ve had over 50 CJ7, CJ8 and wranglers. My JL will be mainly stock and more for street and light trail pleasure.
As a start I stared with 35s on Rubicon wheels and then lift spacers and some 1.5” wheel spacers. All in all only $1500 invested which included the spare tire spacer.
I’m happy to say that she’s fun and love the new soft top setup.
Next some LEDs and maybe roof rack.
I’m mike.

Hi mike! Gotta get those bumper/fender connectors off ! But I love what you did with the wheels I’ve been thinking about that for my Jeep. I have the same model and color looks great.

Do you mind sharing the specifics on your tire spacers and spacer lift?

On the wheels, I got a set of 5 new Rubi wheels for $300. They were take offs and brand new.
Tires I went with Ironman which cost me $730 for all 5.
Rough Country spare spacer $75
Rough Country spacer kit. $160
Tube style steps $150
1.5" wheel spacers. $120
All into it for $1535 and just took me under 6 hours to do.
