Thanks. We're in Tullahoma. I lived in Nashville from 1985 to 2017, then we had to get out of Dodge!

Yeah, We are working on it also.

Thank you! I do wish it sat just a little higher. Should have gone 4.5" instead of 3.5".

Just curious if you regeared since you went to the 37's

No, but I'm also not planning on rock crawling. The 4.10s are great on the road and basic trails and overlanding. I've even pulled a 3k pound trailer just fine. Since using the ECRI to change the tire size, I've been averaging almost 15 mpg around town. Maybe some day I'll regear.

Sharp looking, I definitely see how it could be mistaken for a RC car in some of the photos. Hard to miss noticing it going down the road. The yellow is a looker color.

Yellow done right. Yellow is esp challenging when you go wheel shopping. You nailed it. Great job on your first Jeep. And given the color, Splenda may be the best name on this board.

Black and yellow really makes me miss my old TJ!

Growing up in Pittsburgh, they were definitely my favorite colors!

Just out curiosity what did you remove the first set of lights?

 

[Hop Hunter]

Awesome, I was also wanting to go to 37's myself. Been running 35's now for a couple years and would like a little more tire sidewall, plus they look better w/37's.

I'm assuming you're asking why I removed the large 9" lights I had installed. I actually loved having them on the truck, but I damaged the stock bumper, and when I replaced it, there was just nowhere to put them with the new bumper. I am trying to be very thoughtful about adding lighting now, and that is why I have not added any yet.
