Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT Tires 295/70/R18
34.3 x 11.5

How are these tires doing. I'm impressed by the weight of the 305/70-17s, and they look great.

Love the tires. Have held up great so far too. My JT is not my daily driver since I have a company vehicle, but when it is driven (couple times ever other week) its primarily within the city. I do off road, from time to time but not often. Even then they have held up great off road. But I wanted something that was primarily road friendly but still aggressive to handle basic off road situations and couldn't be more happy with them. They were recommended by another JT owner.

Installed Teraflex spacers

Hi Sarge, love your build! I've already got Rubicon springs and shocks on my Sport s (non max tow, so same axles as you) and I'm adding the teraflex leveling kit to make room for 35x11.5x17s I have on the way. Did you add the wheels spacers for astethics and/or for more room to prevent any rubbing?

Installed Teraflex spacers

Bought these same tires and waiting for them to come in. How thick are the spacers and can you post a couple of poser head on/tail on poser shots? thanks

spacers are teraflex 1.75 inch spacers. I’ll see if I have any better angle shots showing the tire poke from front and rear. I’ll DM you.

Blacked out grille and badging; before and after

Sorry if this has been asked before but how did you do the side and tailgate emblems? I'm slowly blacking out my Overland and want to do the same exact thing.

Side and Tailgate emblems are Plasti-Dipped. Works great and was my first time using. The side gladiator sticker which is silver on the Overland I just simple bought and replaced in black. Although you didn’t ask, the silver grille inserts and bumper inserts since they’re way bigger areas I didn’t plasti-dip those, I’m just replaced them in black(bought off Quadratec).

Thanks! I’ll google how to plasti-dip. Yours look great. FYI, I replaced the grille yesterday and have the inserts on order. Grille’s from Quadratec, inserts from BAM.
