Thanks, For the info And you are so right I don’t want to be throwing money away hand over fist with my indecisiveness so I need to pull the trigger and decide. We (shop and I) are waiting on my wheels to arrive said they’d get tires next day, so I could change my mind for a few more days. I switched my mind from the 35”x12.5x17” to the 315/70r/17 and C instead of E simply for the ride. Every place I talked to said it’s smoother, quieter and “less stiff” BUT I really do like the larger look, I wish there was a better C option for the 37”s.
Yea, I'm not sure you will find anything in 37 in a C rating. At that point there are a couple considerations, more sidewall and they are made for off road so they have a thicker sidewall to prevent damage from rocks and other stuff on the trails. I think at the point that you have a 37 you won't be able to tell much difference. But for sure I have seen more than a few people on this forum and other placer that were selling their 35s because the went to 37. Or bigger.

Put my Gobi decals on. Got the drivers side a bit crooked even after measuring several times. Didn't put these on wet since I figured I could line them up. Doh

Anyone running silver wheels? Maybe on a rubi? I’ve been convinced I’d get the XD FMJs when I replace my tires, but I can’t shake the feeing that all-brushed wheels would really pop on a gobi

I saw your post a while back and said then this is one of the classiest looking JT’s. While I know the trend is wheels and tires sticking 10” outside the fender I personally don’t care for that look. These wheels and tires with the Mopar 2” lift looks perfect.

Oh forgot to ask what size tire are you runnin? 285/75 or 315/70.
Thank you Veloruche, that means a lot! So Im running 35/12.5/17. I actually ended up having two sets of 35's. KM3 M/T that I put on the stock wheels and Running Yokohama X-AT on the Mopar performance wheel. The Yokohama's last a lot longer and are quieter for daily driving

Figured I'd post a few more minor upgrades since i'm on here. After the first time riding on a super sunny and hot day without a hardtop I got really fried and almost felt heat stroked. I spent a ton of time trying to find a sun shade that worked for me. First I got the Mopar sun bonnet which was really nice but when I got it home I realized that it would take the initial instal but half of it would have to be taken off each time you want to put the hard top back on which I wanted a solution to have both. I ended up going with a company called XG Cargo. Its their Magne-Lok. I REALLY love it and can be used along side the grab handles I have installed and also can remain on the vehicle with the hard tops in place. I also bought the Mopar bed rails which after having them for a few weeks I find it absolutely necessary. Its come in so handy with securing cargo in place.
