You should never NOT make the smart ass comment.

I'm still around. I've been less active, in part because I had a stroke July 11th. The radiation I took for throat cancer cooked my internal carotid on that side and it closed off. I had to have a stent placed. Here's your PSA... learn to recognize the signs of a stroke. 87% of all strokes are...

I have these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PV1Z42/?tag=jkforum-20 on both Jeeps. They work fine when I use them, but I mostly stream music anyway.

Honestly, I don't. Were I going to, I'd strip to bare metal and spray it with a liberal coating of bed liner.

I'm not sure the factory bumper is strong enough to mount a swing arm tire carrier. Nor would the notch be large enough. You'll need to look into a new bumper (like the ones above) that is designed for a wheel & tire package with those dimensions and weight.

Something like this seems typical of what you'll be looking at. https://www.hylineoffroad.com/jeep_parts/jeep_jk_tire_carrier_jeep_swing_out_tire_carrier

What rear bumper do you have? Because that's going to have a huge impact on the tire size you can use.

38's are generally too heavy for the stock hinges. You might be able to mount it on something like the Smittybilt that replaces the hinges, but you'd be better off, most likely, with a swing out bumper mounted style.

That WAS light stuff...

Here's a photo of my friend Trudy after her TJ removed it's rock grabber. If you keep it out of the rocks, those are perfectly functional side steps.

If you off-road, they'll take themselves off soon enough. In which case you can replace them with some rock sliders.

Trimming is basically free, but aftermarket metal flares look better.

Yes. Because the factory didn't install LED bulbs in 2013, not halo lights.

I fixed Mrs. Dogs AC. It stopped blowing cold. Turns out that if you pack enough crap into your glove box, it can overflow into the dash and block the intake where the air recirculates...

Wranglers don't handle well; they're not sports cars. Lifted Wranglers handle even worse, because higher center of gravity. Lifted Wranglers with a bunch of stuff on the top add to this. Doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. It just means you need to accept that it is NOT going to be a cornering...

Hello. Meet my Uncle-Dad...

Private sale will pretty much always be more than trade in value. But be reasonable. That 1800/3500 badge isn't going to matter.

I treated a guy who was shot in the head point blank with a .45. Bullet never penetrated the skull. But I don't recommend getting shot, either. Sometimes you just get lucky. Doesn't change the facts.

Tobacco and heroin have been widely used for a long time. Doesn't make them good things. Wheel spacers, at a minimum, lead to premature failure of suspension components to a degree directly proportional to the thickness of the spacers. At worst, they lead to wheels falling off while you're...

As long as you have 4-4.5" backspacing, any wheel width from 8-10" should work just fine.
