I had the Tera BB for the first 5 mo, but once I installed the Shrocks & Duo I was left with about 3/4" of travel between the bumpstops so it was time to upgrade

Looks really good! I wonder why some Sahara wheels are shiny like yours? I have seen those on the 09's. But the set I have, well before they were black, were like flat paint.

looks great!!!:thumbsup:
How do you like the OME versus the BB and are those bumpers gloss or flat black?

Jeepnatvguy 09-05-2008 07:21 PM

how much did you pay for your tires?? Where did you get them?

What made you stick with the stock Sahara wheels and not change it up? I am back and forth right now after seeing how nice, but better you Jeep looks then stock:thinking::thumbsup:

The suspension switch was a necessity in my case as stated above. I tend to think they are about even other than the OME offering more clearance and a bit of a heighth increase. I got the HD springs and it's still pretty forgiving. People often comment about how smooth a ride it is. The Shrocky's are the matte textured finish. The UPS B@$t@rd$ still managed to bust up the powdercoat even after they were sealed in foam in the box

You know I went back and forth between these and a set of Rockstars and eventually settled on these as no one had any Rockstars in stock to put up to the rig, plus I bought the Tera BB, Toyo's and Spidertrax spacers a month before it arrived as I had told myself it wasn't going to be a money pit and I would be satisfied with this and some tint. As you can see with any vehicle it's an evolutionary process especially when you come from a German car background and don't have a clue about 4x4's. Had I known some things ahead of time I wouldn't have wasted the money on the BB and I probably would have gotten 35's which would have cost me more in gearing and everything else. So as it sits for the time being I've dumped enough money into and I tell myself I'm satisfied until it drives me nuts and I switch something else out.

I got the Toyo's from a dealership out west called Les Schwab. They went for about $385 you can get them on the web a bit cheaper at http://www°tiredeals4less°com. They are TOYO Open Country MT 33X12.50R18LT 118Q E10 — Item #360340. They're not cheap, but they're 12 ply heavy mothers and they handle pretty decent in everything in just about anything except for maybe sand and deep mud
