What was done to your JK this week?
That was my week...LOL!
new Duratrac 33" 275/70 18
Took the 2011 JKU out to test the wheel well clearance on the the new Duratrac 33s. They are 275/70 on stock 18s, and aside from the new tires I am trying to keep everything else stock. No clearance problems on the fenders on this light flex test. I am not going to be doing heavy rock crawling. As I expected before installation (after much research on this forum) there is some rubbing on the sway bar at full turn so I may still add 1.5in spacers.
Ace Premium Satin Enamel. It's currently on Sale 2 for $6. I good paint, basically the same as Krylon as they make it for Ace. I have used it on my RZR for years and it holds up well.
Be prepared to do some sanding as mine was very pitted under the paint. I also used an Ace Primer to build it up some and fill in the imperfections. Note, it's best to paint them with the bolts in, so the mating surface does not get painted. Tightening the bolt just peels it off, unless you let it cure a long time. Also, it seems OEM painted the hinges on the hood.
