Hey Guys/Girls,
My wife and I are contemplating a move to Colorado and I have a couple of questions.
Where is the best area of Colorado to live and what is the job market like. My wife is school teacher so it will be fairly easy for her to find a job "I hope" and I am a lineman for AT@T but willing to do pretty much anything.
Thanks,
Jayson Collins

Hey yall' I'm new to the forum and new to JK's...had an XJ 4" rusty's and 33's but got rid of it and my tuner car, and got me a 2010 Rubi unlimt'd bout three weeks ago and so far have fell in love with it, got on a TF 2.5" BB last weekend and hopfully my wheels will come in from 4wheel parts on fed's...so I can get my 35's on this weekend.
Anybody cut rubi rail to fit 35's? the rubi rail isn't my concern but I'm confused about what to do about the pinch seem......Any input?

Dont be afraid to cut the rails, lots of people do it. As for the pinch seem, you can cut that too or bend it back some.

ya I saw a thread on cutting the rail and re-fitting the cap but the seem had me worried, if bending is okay I think I would rather that than leave a nice sharp edge next to a tire I'm cramming in there! Thanks. As for the rail I think I'm gonna weld a tube onto it and make some more prettier side armor type rails that can also be used as a step, it's really funny watching the 5' tall wife try to climb into the jeep with only 2.5" on it
as for beefing up the rock rails, there is a sponsor on here that sells prebent tubes that just needs to be welded on:

...I am sure you can do it cheaper but if in case you are lazy...

I use a 10# CO2 tank and can get about three fills(a fill for me is all four tires) from 14psi up to 34psi and am running the 35x12.5 MTR. I normally fill my rigs tires and a buddies and then off to help anyone else thats still filling, its much faster than any air compressor

I went ahead and cut the rail, didn't even try to fit it before....guess that just equals more room
also hit the seem with the sawzall and then cleaned it up with a file then filled the gap with silicone and will paint over that tomorrow after silicone dries.
Picked up wheels today and will get 35's mounted tomorrow
That's way more tire fill than I thought you would get, I have a small Co2 bottle I use for work, It's not a 10 lbs but I will surley be able to get myself taken care of.....looks like my brother is on his own!

Well if your using just CO2 thats the size of paint ball tank or mobile nailer you might not get as far as you think, make sure you have a back up just incase until you know how much fill you will get out of your tanks. Don't know if the small tanks actually compress it to liquid or if its just compressed.
