That is looking very stealth like. I like it. The tag is great as well.

JPFreak, Super Nice,......Stealthy is the word. I went back & forth on 285's / 265's and went with 265/7516's with no lift. BS Revo's, they were the tire since my big off-road day will be on mountains roads and fire trails. On the Jeepforum a guy did say 285's would rub a little on some serious offroad conditions.

Nice rig man! I bought a rescue green base model unlimited x, (the one with cheep bumpers and now step rails) and i orderd Crager Soft 8's in black as well, i think that looks awesome man. mine are 17's but i'm running 285/70/17 tires (32.8 as well) so i'm glad you can do it with no rubbing.

Question though... any poblems with the spare tire carrier? any mods to get the 33's to fit on that? my rims have 4.5 back space if that matters.

Default How well does it pull?

jpfreak. In the pics you posted in the link, I noticed a ball on the hitch and a pop-up trailer in the garage in the background. Have you towed that trailer yet? How well does that new engine pull with all the exta weight of the unlimited? What axle package did you get? 6-spd or auto?
I'm seriously considering a new Sahara Unlimited with the tow package if I can find one. I'll want to pull a trailer on family trips.

no problume with the spare the tire fit great it just don't hit the rubber stops on the tailgate.
theyer is 1/4'' gap at the tailgate and only about3/4'' on the bumper

I pulled the trailer around the house and it pulled it fine got up to speed just fine.
I did not use overdrive because it definitely lost it's power on even a little hill.
auto 410 gears 44 rearend,I know when I go up north it will be a dog going up the hills i think 55-60 will be the best it will do up hill.
the trailer louded is 2700lbs

Great tire and wheel choice. Love the all blacked out look. I plan on doing the same and was wondering what brand wheels are those? They look like either Cragar soft 8's or Rock Crawler wheels. But i can't seem to find either one of them in a 16x8 with 3.75" bs.
