Thanks! It's a work in progress but I love it.
The tires are 37x13.50r17 Toyo Open Country M/T. I couldn't be happier with a set of tires. Although I've not seen snow and ice in them yet, so I guess we'll find out how they handle in that this winter.

Toyo mts in the winter... Are uh...dangerous lol. They are so hard lugged that up here they turn into hockey pucks. You just slide and turn all over the place. They are great tires though! Nice jeep

What a saga this week. Put on 285/70/17 Fierce Attitudes on Black Rock 942D 17x8 w/4.5bs steel wheels. Corrected speedo with Procal, dead on. Dealer installed wheels and knocked off one of my tailgate bump stops. Dealer ordered new one. Bought a Mopar locking lug nut kit. About broke my arms off and almost twisted a lug nut trying to install the locks. I know a mud tire is not going to balance totally smooth especially with steel wheels but I believed the balancing could have been better. Had the wheels rebalanced at another shop and they are WAY much better. The "tech" at the dealer had on some wheels in excess of 4oz. I intend to get my money back on that one. As my Jeep is on the lift I notice something in my trailer hitch. Low and behold my missing tailgate bump stop. NOT amused! Today I installed a Teraflex leveling kit. Got two inches of lift, very happy. I can't justify $280 more for a half an inch if lift. Steering wheel is perfect. Just have to air up my tires from the 31 the dealer put in. Teraflex heavy duty hinge up next week or two.

Installed the Rough Country 3.5 series II suspension lift. Took about 12 hours lol. But totally worth it. Great times with friends and a day well spent. Now just waiting on my 35s this Tuesday!!

Hey everyone!
This is my first post on the forum and of course it has to be showing off. I just bought the JKU Sport 2 weeks ago and put on the Rough Country series x 4" kit. Also bought some 35" Duratracs with 17" Black Rock wheels. After taking her out for the first time I realize that the bumpers and flares MUST GO, way to much rubbing down there. Here are some pics. Definitely need to get some sliders as well.

That's exactly what I am going to do. I've seen some pretty awesome write ups on cutting the flares and finishing the edges with door trim. That and chopping the bumpers are the next mod on the list. Just dropped close to 4k so the Poison Spider armor will have to wait...for now
