now my door handles are black, whats my option for the locks?

I still want this post to be a serious one, and I really need all the help I can get, along with the jokes.


BTW what in the blue hell is a mall crawler?
i run a TF 2.5" lift with a 1" body lift. My 35"Super Swampers have plenty o room to articulate and turn

He has 40" tires and has ran all the trails in Moab, so no disrespect on the hummers from me...but I do live in a city where most of the H2's are driven by moms as a grocery getter....To the OP, this forum is great! Tons of useful information! I just like to use it for my entertainment too!
You'll not ruffle my feathers man, we're all a big happy family, right?

No harm, no foul.

Kind of an a-hole comment, don't you think? A lot of guys on the TJ forums hated on the JK Sahara 18" rims and street tires when they first came out. Looks like you like them just fine.


~~~


I have a 2.5" TF BB + 3/4" leveling spacer + heavy winch and bumper. My 35" tires do not rub at full stuff.

If you do plan to take it off road at all, Your wheel's lip is in danger of getting scuffed. May want to have your 20" rims for the street and pick up a set of Rubi wheel and tire take off's to beat up on the trails.

Just a thought.

~~~

Jeeps are not just for off roading. My brother is an avid surfer. They bought the Jeep so he and his family could go to the beach top down with 3 surf boards strapped to the roof. People that act like "non-wheelers" are loosers are actually being more pretentious than those they talk sh!t about. Just be chill...
