TJEli's Granite JLUR Build

[AmeriCon1776]

Beaautiful build. This is very similar for what I have in mind myself. I plan on the MC 3.5 Game-Changer as well. With the Falcon shocks, you didn't need to replace the driveshaft? Or just haven't needed to "yet"?

Its a fine line. With the length of shock I am running in front and the caster angle I have set I do not NEED one. Now that I have 3"s of bumpstop in the front I could move to a longer shock. If I do this I WILL need one.

I decided how to remount my CB antenna and also tilted the tire carrier back straight.

I have read from this post that having the CB antenna in between the tire carrier and rear panels is not an ideal location.

Have you experienced any negative points with this mounting location?

It might not be "ideal" but it works fine.

Correct. The wheels are 8.5" wide with approximately a 4.5 Backspace.

Great build btw....do you mind posting a picture of how much the tires stick out?

Do these work?

Borla ATAK swapped for Touring. ATAK sounds fantastic. Touring is more my volume level.

Did you notice any height difference going from the hardtop to the Trektop? I have a low clearance garage that is making me hesitant on switching

No. The Trektop does not stick up as high as the OEM soft top.

Looks unstoppable! BTW, I'm the new owner of my first Wrangler. This morning, I was talking to a guy that had 70/315 Mickey Thompson tires on his Sahara. He said he thought the tires drove OK. Trouble was, the front tires, sticking out so far from the fenders, kicked dirt and gravel and other road crap onto the sides of his Jeep. Others have this problem? I liked the look of the tires.

Its a Jeep thing. If you are worried about that keep the tires under the flares. Smaller tires or larger flares.
