If you are ever in the Reno area feel free to visit and I will be glad to go over stuff with you or help with an install. I am in the southwest side of town just over Mt Rose from Tahoe.

It's interesting to me that Starwood, Havoc, 101motors, and almost every Jeep on EBAY and at SEMA is doing 20's but the Jeep crowd has such a negative opinion of them. So I guess they sell all of those Jeeps to posers for $100k. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating 20's for off-roading, but for every pro there's a con... so if I play devil's advocate for a minute... more sidewall and softer sidewall don't handle as well, so If I'm on-road 95% of the time, should I build my Jeep for that other 5%?
Yes most of those $100k jeeps do go to posers or are show quality and not run off road to stay show quality. 20's are a substantial investment and aesthetically they would be destroyed with even just moderate wheeling. We just wheeled with a guy in Ocotillo Wells this spring that had a very nice, brand new 4-door JK on 37" Nitto MTs on 20's. It looked great! After knock on wood and black cat the wheels were gouged & chewed up so bad, I warned him before we left camp that the wheels would take a beating, he didnt believe me... Structurally they held up great and will likely continue to hold up, but they will look like junk after your first good run....

Also please dont be that guy that thinks tube steps and sliders are the same thing...
