We put 315/70 R17s on our factory rims. These come out to about a 34.5" tire. We haven't had any issues, however we have a 2.5" lift. So as Chris stated, you will need a lift!

Any of the name brands of engine oul are good. As for differentials, I went with Amsoil on ours. Royal Purple is good too. We have large industrial gearboxes where I work and they switched over to Royal Purple and have had great results. Just my 2 cents!

So I tried to replace my jounce bumpers on the front today. This thing had steel plates that were bolted to the upper post cups. I had to use a sawzall and cut the nuts off due to rust, and the posts were full of dirt. Has anyone ran across something like this before? Also, I never could...

I added an LED to ours to light up where the window buttons are since we always had to feel for them. Just a single led from Amazon and spliced into the other lights right there.

We must got a 2.5 inch lift installed and here in SC, the labor was around $600. We got a quote from another shop and it was around $800 for labor but that was for a 3.25 inch lift so there was a little more to it.

If you plan to diy, I would call Crutchfield. They have all the brand names plus wiring diagrams, adpater kits, and wiring plugs so you dont have to splice wires.

As a few have already suggested, I would go for a Rubicon. For the slight difference in price vs Sahara, you will pay MUCH more to try and add those mods after the fact.

Thanks. We like the wheels too. Plus, we have extras if one gets damaged. The spare was actually an 18 inch. So, looked on marketplace and got a set of 5 factory rims for $50! Can't beat that!

Thanks!

Also installed a rear view mirror with camera front and back. I made a custom bracket so the camera is between the spare wheel spokes.

Lift and tires are on!!!!!

Nice ride! How do you like the programmer?

Nice ride! Looks like it is coming along nicely.

Look in the JK Resources section. Chris has a thread on this subject.

BFG KO2!

You got that right! She loves this jeep and is so excited. This is probably the only time I can buy jeep parts and her not get mad.....because they are for HER jeep! :)

Here are pics of some of what has been done already.

Amen to that!

The biggest things are the lift and tires in a couple of weeks. We can't wait for those. The front end is sagging pretty bad right now. The other things on the wish list are to replace all the other lights with LED, recovery gear, and a dead pedal. Recovery gear is next priority. In the...

Two things I had to buy separately were extra hose clamps (which I had clamp kits at home already) and male-to-male barb fittings, 3/8". This kit did not come with those, but any hardware store should have them. I'm not sure if B&M has a kit with these that is specific to the JK or not. This is...
