That would be awesome, lol. I know that a lot of southwestern TJ Rubicon people were yanking the Rubicon decals to make them more low profile because they were a hot commodity for the Mexican car theft market. Don't know if this has carried over to the JK Rubicon owners.

I yanked all the side decals off mine, plus the grille. I just didn't like 'em. (non-Rubi)

It now only says "Jeep" on the fender, like real Jeeps of yore.
(albeit in a patriotic color scheme)


Aside from the Michigan ORV sticker on the gate, my only other sticker is on the back glass of the hardtop. (anti-development statement: "No Farms. No Food.")

The shocks I can't explain. The tires is a common thing here. In less than a month Hunting season starts and at least half or more of the 4X4 trucks here willl go thru a transformation. The mud tires come out of storage and the street tires (and rims) go into it till the first of the year. It is done to save wear and tear on those expensive tires and reduce gas mileage during the off season.

That's what my dad does with his truck.
I'm thinking I'd like to do the same with my Jeep.
Something like a Cragar soft 8 with the BFG MTs for fun, the factory aluminums and Goodyear SRAs for the mileage.

Not TOO bad of an idea, but whatever you do... DON'T go wtih the SR-A's! Those things are a death trap. Had 'em on the KJ and nearly died several times when the ground was moderately wet.

I didn't nearly die, but yeah, they sucked for wet roads.
On the plus side, they're already in my garage, so nothing needed but $$$ to mount them.
If I found a bargain on a set of used Cragar soft 8s with "street" tires, I'd sell the SRAs.

I certainly can't recommend spending good money on the SR-As, but on the JK they have been fine on road, absolutely no problems in the rain (and that's never in 4WD). I know the Liberty can be twitchy on wet roads due to the light rear, so that could have been your issue there. I've seen that little traction control light a million times in the Liberty
