Nice mods you guys did with your tires/wheels. For now I like my standard Sport S wheels with the Bridgestone A/T tires. They are doing me fine. Perhaps when it comes time (warranty expires) I'll buy at most the Sport S optional wheels and the Rubicon 33" tires. That's about it for me. I'm just more a "keep it stock" guy than most.

Nothing wrong with stock wheels! If they didn’t have a major deal on the ones I just got I would have kept the stock ones for a bit longer. I liked my stock wheels! I kept them :)

:like:
color combo w black wheels and soft top look great!
Thanks man! I really like the ride of these tires! They are really meaty if that makes sense but they are also road friendly!

EDIT:

Same road noise as my stock tires so pretty quite surprisingly

I sold my stock wheels and tires to fund my next mod come the new year, more than likely a front bumper and winch

Seeing all your Sports an Sahara's is making me itch so bad for mine to show up! Been stuck driving a Ford Edge as a rental while my JK is off to get a heart transplant

I am toying around with adding ambient lighting down in the foot wells as it isn't standard. Does anyone know if the actual switch is installed? The adjustment wheel is there but is there a switch behind it that i can tap into? Haven't had the time yet to pull it apart and was hoping to save some time if anyone knows.

Not sure man but it’s a good idea. I wish they would have done that AND put a light in the center between the sun shade flaps and in the center console box.. I’m constantly using my cell phone flashlight.. I’ve thought about adding and LED light strip in the box because there is a USB port in there I’ll likely never use but I think it’s powered all the time and I’m not sure how to switch the modes for that port. I really only want it to illuminate when I open the lid.. right now it’s just a dark pit lol

I'm loving my Sahara every day I drive it to and from work. Wish it would warm up a bit on the East Coast so I can run with my half doors but for now it's all zipped up. I will say, I thought I was a bit soft adding the steering wheel heater when I ordered the jeep but it sure was comfy this morning on the commute. :)
