Awesome and respectfully request to copy except I’ll by in hydro blue haha.Thank you @Blackdmax15
My steed is in the shop having a couple things done, unfortunately.. or else I'd go out on the driveway and snap some more pics. I was able to dig up this one from the side [before I did the maximus-3 roll bar and cargo deck] but you're looking at the 'flow' of the Nemesis fenders w/ the RSE steps/sliders I think they are spot on man! I was initially concerned how that would look as well, but just chose to trust my shop and see how they came out. Totally happy.
*supposedly my phone has one of the best cameras out there, but still I manage to snap off horrible pictures.. hopefully if you zoom in on this you can see. It's like those flares were meant to be coupled with the RSE sliders.
They may be correct and these pictures aren’t great as I just ran downstairs in my garage but there is a ton of room. Again the knuckle is tight and I would probably do 5” or 4.75” backspacing next time, but I didn’t want to be mega wide.
Are you referring to the coilovers? If so I was worried about that as well. I bought the cheaper shocks with the kit to get it rolling and they are already leaking from the seals in the front. But this isn’t my first rodeo with higher end shocks. If I can get 10k before they start leaking and I need to send them in for servicing then I’m okay. I’m at like 9500 after the swap so it checks. Not a bash on RK, as I knowingly bought cheaper shocks from them since the SDI E-click shocks are still what I plan on ordering. But I’m running significantly wider and heavier axles on 40s, so shocks can be a “weaker” link for now.
Do you happen to know what the actual diameter is on your JT?
I can answer that myself now. Just installed the same Patagonia XT 40”. Measures 38.5” on the truck, 39.25 off.
After having my JLUR on 40's/longarms/coilovers with some serious Poke, My recently acquired Diesel Gladiator is getting less of a rock crawler and more of an overlanding/motorcycle hauling setup. This offset is very close to what I am hoping to get with the factory fenders. Trying to convince myself 37's are the move but man, did I like having 40's really aired way down for offroading and still having clearance. May send you a PM with some questions about your setup.40” Patagonia XT installed yesterday on my JTRD, Black Rhino Arsenal 17x8 +30 offset. Plan is to keep as little offset as possible.
Here’s the JT I had before the JTRD
Well I already changed my setup, picked up a set of Teraflex Nomad wheels used, 18x8.5 0 offset. Figured I could have made the other +30 wheels work using MetalCloak lower control arms since the tire barely made contact with the own LCA but this should require less other mods and it’s not a terrible amount of poke. Thinking I might get a set of the Extreme Recon fender extensions.
Mine are the 40x13.50, with the 0 offset it looks like I’d be right at the edge of the XR extension. I’m running Mopar 2” springs with 1.5 spacers for about 3 1/2” lift.Bought this jeep a couple weeks ago and previous owner before me put the XR fender extensions on it already. My goal was to figure what offset/backspacing would put me right at the edge of those with some 38 or 40/13.50s on it. I was helping a buddy with his jeep and thought I'd do a 40inch comparison with his STT Pros. ?
What Roof rack are you running?Mine are the 40x13.50, with the 0 offset it looks like I’d be right at the edge of the XR extension. I’m running Mopar 2” springs with 1.5 spacers for about 3 1/2” lift.
Here’s a few pictures of the +30 wheels with a 1.5” wheel spacer which would = about -8 offset. I was playing around with offsets deciding if I wanted the 0 offset or more.
The roof rack is the Bestop Granite Series for JT or JL 2door. I was fortunate to get it for $192 when they had a 60% off sale promotion last month. I also got the one for the JL 4door to put on top of my bed rack at the same level as the roof rack, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
