Got the 40s mounted. They fit better than I expected. Even at +25 offset they clear the control arms, rock rails, bumper, skid plate at ride height and haven't rubbed driving around on the street. Still have the spacers coming and I'm sure trimming will be required to make it all work well off road but so far off to a good start.

I feel obligated to update this, it does rub somewhere under full lock at certain angles on the street. Which is of course to be expected, +25 offset on tires this size is temporary and kind of stupid. But didn't want to leave false info out there. I suspect it's actually on the front skid plate but I haven't found any rub marks anywhere.

That’ll stretch em.
I was storing my down jacket in mine but didn’t like the sag so now I just put small stuff in them and don’t leave them in for. Long term. It kind of limits the usage.

I"ve put nothing in mine and they are stretching. On my 2018 JL, they look like Mrs. Doubfire's saggy boobs. That fix is on the future mod list, for sure, for both the JL and JT.

I treated all my plastics/rubber with 303 Protectant.

That silver sure looks good! Wish I had that option when I grabbed my Mojave.

Interested in how the fit is on those. I don’t want anything that I’ll hit the side of my leg on so I’m kind of hesitant on those.

Added some painted pieces from distinction applied(cowl, hood latches and tailgate handle), did an oil change and tire rotation as well. Truck needs a bath. Side note I had to take screenshots of the original pictures for them to upload here.
