Cool. The new setup looks awesome and believe it or not my wife just gave me the OK to do the exact same tire upgrade. I think we have a couple keepers.

Just installed the new rims and tires last week. She thinks I am nuts but is happy I have a hobby.

Nice color Jeep by the way.

Which finish is that? The textured or matte?

Looks great!!

I'm still confused about why the wife has to give the okay to buy things you want, especially if it's your money. I don't think I'm ever going to understand. I buy what I want when I want it, no one can tell me otherwise. As long as all the bills are paid and there's still money going into savings, splurging here and there isn't a bad thing.

For the most part I 100% agree but once you start getting into the number with 2 or 3 zeros it's always a good thing to have the wife aware it definitely helps to keep the peace.

nice setup! how's the gearing workin out for ya? i plan on going 34's with the rubi rims, and i was gonna re-gear eventually. but if the 35's work ok - decent, then i wouldn't mind not using 6th gear and saving the cost of re-gearing. im running the 3.21 or something, so its less then what i saw someone else say about your rig, the 3.7somethings.

All ya'll have to do is hook her up with a cool jeeping friend's wife. Once they are friends, the seed has taken root. Then let the women's competitive nature take over from there.

Thanks everybody, yeah I like the setup too! I have a 6 speed and 4:10 gears, in town it's fine not much difference. I have not had a chance to head to the hills yet, I'm sure I'll notice it there the higher I climb.

The rear bumper carrier is Matte finish.

Cluing the wife on the goodies just makes life a whole lot easier when it starts adding up.
