It's not quite that simple. All colors are absolutely affected by the color temperature and its spectral composition of the light being shined on them. Some colors are more affected than others with this based on what colors make up the viewed color. This is why if you pick a paint color out at the paint store and then take it home it can look a lot different once you get it on the walls because of the lighting differences in the store and at home. It's not just as simple as more light vs less light like often believed.

The reason for such color differences has to do with the spectral composition of the viewing light and the differing light reflection and absorption rates of the color being viewed. Simply put, if a light source lacks a certain color range or if this range is weaker, the viewed object can only reflect its colors within these limitations. Typically the more various tint colors that go into making the paint color, the more that color will be affected by this. Whites, greys, silvers, and blacks are usually very simple and have only a few different tints added to their bases. Reds, browns, greens, oranges, yellows, and blues typically are made up of many tint colors and that's why they would be most affected by the spectral composition of the lighting. Even between two reds or greens, the tints that make up the color can vary greatly along with the quantity of tint. This would be why one green would be affected under a street light and not another one.

It's literally that simple.

It's either science or magic, either way I don't make the rules.

Neither.

It's dark green.

Yeah you're right I just threw some words together and I thought I had you for a minute there. I don't even know what spectral composition means. I just thought it sounded cool.

So more pretentious and condescending man to man-splanning?

Too bad. I was really enjoying it.

Looking great! Please please please post some photos of your JT with those new AEV wheels. I’m considering the same if I go up in size. Do you know what the weight difference will be between the OEM wheel and the AEV wheel?

Well yesterday was the day… I went with the 37x12.5 BFG AT KO2’s. They look just a touch stuffed on the stock Mojave suspension but a 1-2” spacer lift will look perfect. In all honesty the 8.5” wheels make the 12.5” tires look a little skinny and the +25 offset keeps the tires mostly tucked in the wheel wells. I think another 1/4-1/2” poke might be ideal but I wanted this build to look subtle and I think I accomplished that. Overall I’m very happy with it!!

I think you nailed it! I prefer and am always trying to find flush tire to fender setups to emulate and this looks perfect.

Are you having any issues with rubbing? How’s the gearing as well? I’m super indecisive of going 35s vs 37s on my Mojave when I get it.

No rubbing at all on the street. Keep in mind the BFG tires run very small. I measured them yesterday and they were only 35.25 true height. They are actually like big 35’s.
The gearing around town seems fine but I had it up on the interstate this morning; driving into the wind it wanted to stay in 6th gear at 70mph (measured using my phone GPS). Coming home it would shift into 7th, and even occasionally 8th. Hoping it gets better when my Tazer arrives and I can reprogram my shift points and recalibrate my speedometer. Either way, i have no regrets.
FYI, I was able to talk my local Discount Tire into mounting two 35’s on my drivers side and two 37’s on my passenger side to help me decide between the two… I obviously chose the 37’s and they just took off the 35’s and exchanged them for two more 37’s. Unfortunately I was unable to get any pics of the 35’s because there was a car parked to close to that side.

looking GREAT! Thanks for posting. I might follow your lead with these same AEV and KO2 37’s when the time comes.
