Lets talk JL on 42s

[Ney Kerestegian]

Daily driving, at 80mph, on 42s!

80mph like nothing. Only drawback is that I can't use subway parkings anymore lol.

Do you crawl or is this purely a pavement pounder? Not throwing shade just asking.

Pavement pounder 90% of the time. Here in Chile we offroad in winter (your summer) in the mud

I got an early access to Motobilt Black Friday so I ended up getting motobilt high clearance front and rear aluminium fender + front 40"+ front inner fenders, which gives you the option to cut about 1.82" in the front. Plus I got some front and rear 2-4" adjustable bump stops to set everything as needed. Will cut as much as possible in the rear and I should be ok to go. Tires are arriving in 2 weeks to Chile and all motobilt parts next week!

Did you install the Motobilt high clearance front inner fender liners? I have seen what they show on their website but I’m curious to know how much gets removed at the rear of the front fender well opening. I’m just a peasant on 37s at this point.

I'd say this offering from Artec is a great solution for the front axle limitations. Obviously this can be done with completely custom fab as well but this makes it pretty dummy proof. That and the motobilt fender cut sounds like the solution.....going to need a different front bumper too. Oh darn

Yes I installed the high clearance. Thanks to that almost 2" that fender well trim I am able to run 42" without issues.

If it’s not too big of an ask, whenever you have time, can you show a few pics of where the sheet metal was trimmed at the rear of the front fender well. I see the instructions which just show a red line to show where to trim, but I was hoping for some pics. Thank you.
