Mopar lift on 37’s. Should’ve gone with a bigger lift , the back tires rub occasionally when it’s flexed. Looking to get some flat fenders.
my 39s rub in the back just enough to make noise with a 4” lift.
you could probably slide a puck in the bump stops and be fine

Yeah, mine too, just a bit of noise. Thought about splitting the fenders and keeping my stock painted ones.

My guess would be truck. But I may be wrong.
I thought if that too, but I’d be lying if I said it was my first guess… no, that was “taco”. Not sure why, other than it thematically fitting and starting with a “t” .:LOL:

Well, unfortunately, I was unable to be patient and wait till they came out with what the head guy originally called "cartoon colors", and went ahead and ordered a red JT when we were first able to order in 2019. I traded in a Dozer JK Rubicon for the JT Rubicon, but no colors other than the usual suspects were available for order then.

So, now I'm stuck with a very beautiful red color that I have no complaint on, except it aint' Dozer!! I loved that color, and it appears the Nacho is either exactly that color, or damn close. So, since I'm not looking to trade mine in anytime soon, and the fact there's still no Dozer like color available at the moment anyway, I'm looking at a vinyl wrap perhaps. A complete color change. I've been quoted $2,900.00 without doing the door jambs, which I understand is a timely pain in the ass to do, so I'd probably wait till later on those.

Ideas? Suggestions? Any advice will be welcome.

I think with todays used prices it would be wiser to trade it personally. I bet there are still some nachos around

Did it with a Detailer friend answering questions and letting me borrow his buffer.

did pre soak- wash - rinse - iron remover- wash - clay mitt - wash - one stage polish compound - wash - alcohol wipe down - then two coatings of Adams Graphene

took about 5 hours. Probably a fair amount less for experienced people. I’ve literally never en put wax on a car before.

the slickness is unbelievable highly recommend. I did the hardtop, mirrors and glass as well.

FWIW Nacho is Dozer - same paint codes.

I'm not sure what floats your boat, but there is high velocity yellow coming out soon, as well as Gecko green (again). Who knows what the '23 MY holds - by Oct. you should know what colors will be available.

If none of those sound like an option, I second the suggestion of considering trading. Nacho is pretty rare, but with some leg work I bet you could find one.

EDIT: the elaborate, I wouldn't wrap. I just don't think I'd ever be happy with the result, plus it's an added cost.
