37's are less than year old. Still have tons of life. I just HAD to go do the fender chop (still needing a rear set of Rubi fenders BTW). Idiot!! Now the 37's look like 31's.

Hoping like hell (and cussing like a sailor) that I got a bad bad bad set of Ridge Grapplers and they wear out quickly so I can hurry along with the 40's :LOL:

That's the middle name of every single Jeep on the planet.

Do you tow anything? You could have an extra set of tow tires and wheels.

Wow!
Looks like you bolted on a stock set of tires and wheels. I see 40's in your near future......

While this will probably just set you off worse because of dealing with low balling jerks who will just turn around and congratulate themselves for the deal they just got......... You could list the used tires on marketplace and try to recoup some of the $$$ you are about to lay out for 42" tires lol

Honestly I think if you swapped back to sport front fenders it'd look about perfect, I don't know if you can chop those the same or not but just a thought!

Mine is a max tow model, so it had the two piece fenders...just not the Rubicon raised two piece. I found the front ones from a Rubi and chopped/installed those (above). The current rears are my originals and they just don't match now. I like the tall fender look. These fenders and 40's were always part of the plan. I just need to find the rears now so they are the same.

Shut it!!! Lmao

I'm reluctant to go 42's because that would dictate a wheel change to 20's. I really like these Raceline beadlocks I currently have.

Your JT looks great. You mentioned you’re looking for rear fenders? Have you considered the Quadratec Baja HD Fender Flares? I installed them when the first came out and have no complaints so far. I think they provide more room than the Rubi fender too. Sorry I don’t have a better pic of the rear.

I considered those, and a few others. I went the chop route because I liked the look of that with the Quake brackets better.
