Handled well the last few days. I'm flipping out wheels right now so I'll pay more attention to the driving and keep you posted.

Just got back from the dealership. Kept the same 35" KO2's, and had them switch out the wheels from a steel 17x9" (not sure the offset, but the tires stuck out about 2-3 inches from the fender) to the 17x7.5" alloy's with no offset, so they are tucked perfectly under the fenders. The JT looks SO much better IMO and weirdly the ride is different. I did notice that I hit 8th gear just offer 55mph.

Had to drive downtown to pick up some parts. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a photo.

I like it. Awesome colors. If you took the pic from a different angle it could have looked like the angry blue dude was pushing down on the bed due to the Jeep's perspective.

I'll tell you what I didn't do, I did not install my 67 designs driverside dash mount. The ball is wobbly on the plastic base. I think I can feel 3 indentations in the 3m paper where screw holes probably are. Was thinking of cutting some holes there, taking the screws out and putting some locktite on them. Lol, love fixing brand new products. :angry:

I had no idea Arizona had mountains, lol. I just thought it was draught cactus and golf.

Nice Ray! How's the drive? Any rubbing?
Thanks! No rubbing at all on street. I don't have sway bar disconnects yet so can't say about wheeling, but I don't think it will. The ride feels pretty much like the stock AT Duelers.

Swapped to LED on the headlights/fogs/DRLs. Added white rock lights, stubby antenna and vinyl fender vent decal.

King, when you bring your kids out to see the grand canyon in your JT you'll see a whole new unexpected world out west. :jk::tumbleweed::rain::sun:
