Love what you did to your white Sahara. Would love to see pics of your grille and hood as well. What are the specs on your Raceline wheels and Nitto tires? And which spacer lift did you install?Soft top, no top, hard top. 2” spacer lift, 35” Ridge Grapplers.

Nice job! It looks great!I love the Rubicon, but the truth is that 4:1 t-case ratio would be horrible unless you were crawling rocks out in the mountains and I don't need it. And the BLD system does everything I need so lockers aren't really required either. So, I decided to save the $7,000 and get the Sport with S package and make it my own.
I now have a total of $2,000 spent on mods and I'm taller than a stock Rubicon, with a better stance, I can tow my utility trailer, I have all the amenities I wanted, and I can still get 19 MPGs combined which is a little better than Rubicon owners are reporting.

I love mine though I think black wheels on my Ocean Blue Metallic Sahara might look even better. Better enough to warrant the price? I'm not convinced of that yet.I feel like I am the only one who kinda like the stock Sahara wheels.

I've made two minor mods to my JLUS to date. I added the MagnaFlow axle back exhaust system which I absolutely love and I replaced the stock radio antenna with a 6" stubby. Since my radio listening is exclusively from SiriusXM these days, I'm not concerned about any reception issues the stubby may/probably produce. For those who may be interested, the MagnaFlow exhaust differs from stock in that it is slightly louder than stock and a good deal deeper in tone. I think it looks really great on the rear of the Jeep, too!

Thanks for the reply to my questions.Thank you! Pro comp spacer lift.
How much do your wheels/tires stick out from underneath the fender flares? Do you have a head on picture to show?

Could you post a video with the exhaust sound at idle and at speed in the interior. There are plenty on the web but it would be nice to have one from a real userI've made two minor mods to my JLUS to date.

We're leaving for an extended weekend getaway, but I'll see what I can do when I get back next week, Ken.

Hows does the spacer lift and wheel spacer affect the ride, or anything...?This is my 1st Jeep ever. Not gonna go mudding or rock crawling so I got the Sahara. Super happy with it so far! Had it for a few weeks and have added RC 2.5" spacer lift, 2"wheel spacers, Curt hitch, 4 pin trailer wiring kit and 275/70-18 KO2s on the factory wheels. That's most of what I want to do....for now. Lol

I like them but I keep thinking I want 17" rims for the better offroad use (which Ill admit is a very small percentage of my total driving) and for better tire selection when the time comes to replace my tires.I feel like I am the only one who kinda like the stock Sahara wheels.
