To be completely honest, I am a very large fan of your JKU. The concept is perfect.

Any chance you have a picture of your JKU next to a stock one? Im curious to see the difference.

 

Sweet rig! I love those flares!

 

Sorry - I don't currently but I'm pretty sure I can get one. Give me a day or two and I'll post it up.

 

Thanks - at the end of the day I am very happy with them and the price point. I imagine I would have probably like the fit of the Poison Spyder ones a little bit more but then the price is several $$ more. If it wasn't for the much larger $$$ I would have just went MetalCloak and called it a day. They advertise 37's with just their flares..albeit I am guessing some tripping on the pinch seam and rock rails are inline to get whacked.

 

Here is my 2dr with a mid-width Red Rock Fab bumper. They are no longer in business but still love the bumper all the same. This JK does have the Old Man Emu HD coil lift, TeraFlex arms, JKS trackbars, etc..to complete the package along with the Bushwacker flat flares. Plenty of clearance with the 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers.

 

I like the jeep a lot man! I am building with the same concept on my 4dr. I just ordered up the metalcloak fenders and armor and can't wait to do the install. Still trying to pin down what wheels and tires to do though. Any thoughts? I want go wit 35s

 

I would say you can keep and run the OEM wheels and just pick up a set of Spydertrax wheel spacers like I did...or you could pick up a new set of wheels. I have AEV Bridger (now discontinued) on my 2dr JK in a 16x8 and couldn't be more happy with them. For tires...I've ran Pro Comp MTs, Nitto Mud Grapplers, and Toyo OC MTs.....nothing beats a Mud Grappler except for perhaps a Swamper. I've got 30,000 miles on my 35" Grapplers on my 2dr and have still over 1/2 tread left. I choose to go with Toyo OC MTs on the '12 JKU Rubi mainly on the price...Tread Depot had a crazy deal around Black Friday time that included free shipping. It would of cost me $500 more to pick up another set of Grapplers so I just couldn't talk myself into it...besides I could always just swap wheels/tires between the two JKs LOL.

 

It's looks really good!


From the back photo, the tires seem to sit nicely under the flares.

How about in the front? Can you post a pic?

keep up the good work!
