I half installed this and have given up. Got the bracket in but can't get bolts tight enough.

Could likely do it but will take me too long.

I'm returning it and ordered quadratec model even tho it's more expensive.

Just laughed out loud, that is hilarious, can’t wait for the headache.

What wheels are these? They look great.

I’m going to throw the 37s on the stock Mojave’s since they are technically within spec but looking at options in the meantime.

Leaning towards Black Rhino.

I don’t recommend that. I think the 37” tire looks odd squeezed onto a 7.5” rim. IMO.

It will likely be short lived, as long as it works and within spec, I'm not as worried about the "looks."

It’ll work but the tires may wear funny. It creates a crowning effect. The sales guy at Discount Tire said he would do it but he strongly recommended against it. I went with a 8.5” wheel off the bat.

I was going to do the same thing because I really liked the stock rims/tires that came on my JTR, so I considered throwing 37's on them. Just decided to go ahead and upgrade instead.

My daughter got the bonus of my stock wheels on her JKU Sport. I think they actually look pretty good on it.

The stock wheels are light too, realistically they work for the job but I already know I'll probably want/need to upgrade at some point.

Just not sold on doing it right away.

They are much lighter than the AEV wheels I bought. So there’s that.

Hard to find part right now for the Mojave and waited to post so it wasn't all at once.

2" AEV Spacer kit.

I ordered this via Morris4x4 and it was in my hands in 10 days even though it said it wouldn't ship until middle of September.

Rustys Lower Control Arm skid plates showed up today.

I must say, these things feel robust and strong, easily worth the $89 for the pair.

I was looking at Black Rhinos as well then I read somewhere on this forum about folks having some of the Black Rhino models having rust issues??? I may be mis-remembering. So I ended up going with Warn which are 8.5 inches wide with 0 offset.

I haven’t heard about the rust situation but now I’ll have to go down that rabbit hole to confirm.

The Warns look nice as well, 27 or 28 pounds too for solid price.

They look great on your truck, I’m going to entertain those as an option too.

Really want to see it all setup on the stock wheels first but I know they’ll eventually be swapped.
