I am going to be tackling this in the coming weeks, and it seemed pretty clear in the instructions that you would use the 2" lift orientation (left, below). Is there a reason you thought otherwise?
I'm reading this thread on my laptop, but it's still plugged into the wall socket, because I love that coal-burned power. It's just different than that solar shit, you know?
Finally bit the bullet and joined the "Wonder What He's Compensating For" club.
37x12.50 Nitto Terra Grapplers on Quadratec Baja Xtremes. Just a little fender poke and a meaner stance, exactly what I wanted.
AEV lift is up next!
Um, good. Call me what you want, but I can't stand when people treat public spaces like shit. If this kind of thing keep cheap-asses out, or teaches disrespectful people a thing or two, I see nothing but good coming from it.
The one inch width is going to make a bigger difference than the diameter. More likely to rub on fender flares, steering and suspension components, harder to turn, less traction per tread block, etc.
I'd stick with 12.5 unless you really have a reason you need to go wider.
Most of the time, if you get the black cloth seats or black leather seats, the dash is red. If you order the brown leather, the dash will be gray (and all contrast stitching will be white).
Some exterior colors never come with a red dashboard though, but they're the exception, not the rule...
I think it was kind of both. Jeeps are built to handle "trails" in stock form, and that's why they badge them as they do. But the definition of a trail varies wildly, so some people see the badges as marketing more than anything else.
This. That's why I was saying a Mojave with 35s is at least close. Rubicons have nothing to do with what the XR adds. The Mojave gets a few of the same things.
Throw 35s on a Mojave and you're pretty close (frame reinforcements, iron knuckles, higher factory lift). All you're missing is brakes and the spare tire reinforcement.
