Oh yeah! :blush: So it really doesn't make sense, but it looks nice.
There is a spot on my Mopar a pillar mountsbthat an all black badge would fit and look perfect.

However, that 75 year anniversary thing is killing it

Yup! Thanks man! I am not on any lift. Mine is just a Sport with the 44 rear axle. I upgraded the screen from 5.3” to the 7” and I think that’s why people get confused lol the wheels stick out just a tad which I like:

I agree. Based on my calculations and research and talking to several places like Discount Tire, 4WheelParts, etc.. at a -12 offset, you should be sticking out about 2.5” or so. From your photos that looks about bright. I was told to stick with +12 or more offsets, so that I only stick out 1.5” or so. But seeing yours, looks like I can run pretty much any offset -12 or more.

Edit: I too am planning on not doing a lift, just yet. Just nice wheels and tires.

Haha that’s where I fell in love with them! Jeep Beach!

Sorry for the lighting differences as I had to pickup my daughter in between the fronts and the rears..

I’ll get better photos tomorrow maybe..

Edit:

PS I used child safety to get my wife to approve.. We have young children. Maybe you could use that!
Looks great man. I’ll try to convince the wife of the tube doors. I too have 2 young boys, but I’m still running doorless in summer.

Btw, for a 285 wide tire, you still have to relocate your brake light for the spare???? I thought that should still fit???

Personal taste - but for me, end caps on. I know it limits your tire size and offroading in general, but still.



What lift do you have? btw I'm looking at the FMJ's too for wheels. What specs for wheel an tire do you have?
I have a fabtech with teraflex spacers. I just ordered the teraflex 4.5 springs. Waiting on those. The FMJ are 20x 12 with a -44 offset. 37x 13.50 milestars. Have all 8 arms in and complete steersmarts linkage.

Wow -44 those wheels and 13.5" tires must be 1/2 way past the flares Close to 5-6". You must of re-geared or new axles for a Sahara to sport those

Not at all. I have a M220 rear with a LSD...its a 6mt. It rides great. Not much use of 6th gear on the HWY. She stands very aggressive.

All four corners on. It rides very tight. South Florida doesn't have any rock climbing but I have trails out in Big cypress. Very satisfied with the ride.

Talk about reaching to try and make someone sound worse than what was said.

Dude, my thoughts and opinions are mine yes of course.

And no they dont represent anyone else but myself.

I didnt attack anyone??

Your comment is totally bogus, misrepresenting and fake.

Your trying to spin what I said.

Who wants to bet me this idiot is a liberal snowflake??!! I'll put the title to my Rubicon on it

Total fake news....what a loser
I’ll take that bet!
I’m a southern republican Coonass!
Male dedicated asshole!
So now that you have lowered yourself to insulting me too I’m guessing maybe your the liberal snowflake because that is what they mostly do!

By the way I’ll take your rubicon title too!
Nothing wrong with having two Ruby’s in the driveway!

Yeah they don’t stick out too far and I like the wider stance drivability

No I did that for my wife actually as she couldn’t see out the back window with out me moving it haha

Hey bud,
Nice rig! I noticed in pictures you’re running a track bar relocation bracket, did you put that in with initial lift install or add it later? I’m trying to get an idea of how it helps the handling. I’m up 3.5 inches so I’ve been thinking about adding one.
Thanks

My fabtech came with one but I knew that I would eventually move up to a 4.5 inch left so I purchased the teraflex one. Its straight bolt in with no drilling. I will avoid drilling into my Jeep at all costs.

Started working on my DIY Lexan half door windows that will mount to my JC Offroad aluminum lower doors. All this because Bestop is taking it's sweet time releasing 2 piece soft doors.
I too have the JCR doors. How close are the JK Bestop half door window to fitting the JCR doors? I was thinking about ordering them to see if I can mod something but I like your thinking.
