They are ProComp Series 7089, 17x9 I will take a side view this weekend, So far I am happy with them, eventually I want to get beadlocks so i did not want wheels with the simulated beadlock look, I really like that these are flat black, makes them look more purposeful

Day 31
Finally..... Finally got her out in the sun and took her for test drive. Rock Basher exhaust sounded fine. Some drone accelerating but not much on highway. Sunrider top vibrated at highway speeds...not sure if that's normal. It was a little loud at times. 38" tires put a load on engine... Definitely needs a regear. Hoping 5.13 gears help. I would have gone 5.38, but the consensus seems to be pinion is too small. I was expecting alternator to charge batteries at ~13.6v, but all I saw was 12.7....not sure if thats an issue. Braking is a little hard so I might look at a large brake kit but they seem awfully pricey. Otherwise I really like it! I took Jeep to an open area to tune CB antenna. I adjusted screw inward and the SWR kept getting better, but I finally bottomed screw completely. So not sure what to do now.
Was tempted to check the water fording capabilities. I mean if any vehicle can continue down this road it should be this one..... Right? Seems logical. On a side note why the heck do people put these stupid orange cones out right in the middle of the dang street??? I had to drive around them.

Transferred my JKU hardtop rear window LED bar to my new soft top JLUs tailgate. Fits great and doesn't get in the way of the tailgate or window

Picked up this light a while back for my JKU hardtop (looks like itll fit the JLs hardtop too) but my new jeep doesnt have a hardtop so i just mounted it to the tailgate with 3m stick tape and tapped into the dome light. i couldnt figure how to get the plastic panel off so i just fished the cabling through there

I like mine as well and my door does rattle so I looking to beef up the rubber gasket... I put 3 soft .50 spacers and that works fine.
