Are those black or Bahia? Cant tell if I’m seeing a reflection off the blue paint.

Interesting bedrack.

For $400 on Amazon I have no complaints.

Hey if it gets the job done, it gets the job done.

I added 35" Maxxis RzrATs to my Mojave a year or so ago. Good tires. 55K warranty. Low noise. Glad I tried them out.

I am interested in getting some larger tires and wheels on our Mojave. It is my daily driver. I do not want to switch our the 4.10 gears and I want to keep the shocks. I would like to use a spacer lift like the AEV.

I have a OBD Tuner (and the required cable) to dial in the tire diameter.

I would really like an actual 35" tire not a 35 inch tire in name only. I would like some all terrains and my wife wants it to "look tough". She likes the look of our 315 70R 17s on our Wrangler. That has some Raceline Wheels with -12 MM offset.

So I am open to suggestions. I am looking hard at Method Wheels for this build.

Thoughts?

Thank you,

Jay

Look into Treadwright Tires.
Their Mud/Guard Dogs are second to none. There are 2 compounds to select. The softer ones will give you unlimited traction in every situation, but will wear out in 20 to 25k miles. The harder compound will give you closer to 60k miles, but will not hold as well on slickrock off-roading situations.
I've used both, and prefer the softer compound as the on highway drives are less noisy and obviously softer riding.
P.S.: I've been using Treadwright Tires since 1993.
They far exceed the capabilities of any other major tire manufacturer, and they are true to the size you order. The 35's actually come in at 35.5" when new. But after 5k miles they wear down to 35's. The tread cleats are exceptionally deep and sling mud/snow clear of the tire for continuous grip. Airing down isn't recommended, but on sand and jagged rocks i would recommend dropping the pressure to at least 15 psi. for a better footprint. On the highway, keep your pressures around 35 to 40 psi.
If you have the Mojave with the highline fenders, you won't need the spacers, unless you're jumping up to 37's or taller, or you're going to be articulating the suspension heavily.

Hope this Helps.
Hope to see Y'all out there.
Keep the Shiny side Up.

Aren’t Treadwright tires retreads? I think I’ve looked at them before. They’ve been around forever but I’ve never actually seen them in person.

Not exactly retreads.
The belts used to be from old tires, but after they moved from the Midwest to the Texas facility, (I think they moved in the 1990's) they've been building new tires from the bead up. The technology is called B2B; Bead to Bead. the rubber, synthetics, and cores are all New. I believe they even have a video on their b2b builds.
I can personally attest to them being a premium tire, they have saved mine and my wife's butt a number of times both in mud and snow conditions. My wife likes them because they look aggressive. I love them because I know they work great and they're reasonably priced. Per tire, I'm paying less than half of what the big manufacturers have, and for a much better product through Treadwright.
Honestly, give them a try. if you really don't like them you can always purchase the other guys tires after you sell one of your kidneys.

Hope this helps.

off topic query;
I read what you replied about the bed rack. My question is, is your bed covered or open with that rack?
I covered my bed with a tri-fold tonnue cover. and the bed was rhinolined from the factory... aside from the two auxiliary bed lights I added three led bed tube lights to illuminate the whole bed area.
