Along a similar line of thought. If you went with 35s could you add a wheel spacer to minimize or eliminate rubbing at full flex off road with stock rims an a 12.50 x 35 tire? With 35s where does it actually rub?
Right way means no cheap shortcuts. Stock or better performance. None of the abilities of the stock jtr are comprised. Only enhanced. Big question is. Cost
Tires 1500
Gearing 2000? That’s a wild guess
Lift kit 1500
new shocks 4 @ 250. 1000
Wheels 1000 5 @200
Labor 1200. That’s a guess tool...
Toying with the idea of 37s. But thinking it’s gonna get pricey. So I’ll need tires wheels (can you use the stock wheels?). And re gear? To what 488 or 5 something? Then a tazer to recalibrate your speedo. And the lift? 2.5 ? 3.5?
So what does it cost? Is it worth it? This is my daily...
I searched for this but could not find anything. On you tube there are some videos showing 35's at full flex and no rub BUT they are using the Nitto trail grappler ( which i think is more of a mud tire) and it is 11.5 wide. I don't want a mud tire I drive too much roads, and don't want...
Just a suggestion. When I see video I really wish everyone would tell what you’ve done. For example just watched a trail video. And throughout the whole thing kept wondering are those 37s. How much lift.? Reheat ?tire size ? Shocks? How do they like it? Things they would do different...
Nice video nice rig. Just switched to a jtr from a jlur. What size tires are you running. ?Lift? They look pretty big maybe 37s? Is there much loss of power ?

After having the eco shield on for a few days and running 80 mph in 100 degree heat for 3 hours the little optical distotion is gone. Added rain x and a wind deflector at the edge of the hood and bug strikes seem way down. Heard some loud cracks didn’t see any rock chips might have been just...

I was thinking of putting diff skid plates on my diffs. But one shop I talked to said don’t do it because you can hang up on rock and rip the bolts out of the differential thereby doing more damage than if you had no skid plates at all. These skid plates use some of the bolts to secure the...
I had put on Kelly Springfield safaris. A pretty aggressive all terrain. I like them at first for about 10k miles then they got progressively louder Still great off road Point is tires get louder as they age. That said I had BFG at after the Springfields in a 35 and they were great. I have...
I had the exoshield puton today generally very happy but there is some minor distortion where it looks like is rippled but you can't see anything when you look closley at the front of the windsheild only if you look through the windshield at a low spot. but hey not perfect but if it...
