    Crack in my hard top

    Anyone know how I should go about repairing this? It's all the way through to the other side. Also, has anyone had success getting an insurance claim through their provider for a crack in the hard top?

    35" tires on stock rims

    Anyone running 35" tires on stock sahara 18" rims? Curious to see how it looks. I know it's not ideal, but I found a good deal on some nitto trail grapplers - it would just cut into my wheel budget. and I have no place to store a set of tires - that's what I get for living in the city! :grayno:

    Lockers - What did you go with and why?

    NON-Rubi guys - I've been looking at locker options for my JK. On my last TJ, I had an aussie locker up front and a detroit locker in the rear - while they worked phenomenally, I hated that they weren't selectable. What's your opinion? ARB, OX, or Eaton? Pros and cons of each would be great...
