Napalm's Billet Steel! The 2016 JKU Sport Build Thread and Picture Diary

[TennJK]

Thank you guys!

I've been doing a ton of research, and I cannot find a definitive proof for either or. Some articles say they wear faster on the front, some say they wear faster on the rear!

I've had experiences both ways. My fronts wore faster on the last set because of the roads I was driving. I was doing more country driving and the turning motion all of the time was causing the fronts to see more wear. But now I don't drive as many curvy roads so the rear set is wearing more. But also I have a grizzly locker in the back which doesn't help at all.

Haven't had a chance to even take it down the block. I've been doing trip prep to leave the country this Friday, so I've been on a tight schedule.

Haven't decided yet if I want to swap the newer tires back into the front. My objective is to put the tires that are currently in the front where they will wear slower than the newer ones. Trying to get everything as even as possible. But.. maybe I'm being to OCD about it ?!

Thanks Mark! Now I can actually bring my rig to the next Suds-N-Grub and not be embarrassed next to yours and Kris' rigs

Congrats on the new shoes. One day I'll add 35's to my EVO LEVEL.

Thanks! Now I am wanting the EVO leveling kit. You like the ride? I wonder if it would be better than the 18's and pucks I have in the front.

In my opinion, it is a better ride on and off road. Paired with Rancho 5000's, the combo is great for me.

I had 18's and pucks before the EVO kit.

So far, I'm incredibly happy with the EVO Leveling kit. It's a smooth ride, a simple kit, and quality made.

Most importantly, it is the perfect height in my opinion for 35s once you cut the fenders. I love the LCG look and I wouldn't want any more height with 35s.

Completely agree!

Quoting my own post this morning from the first post of this build thread. It really made me laugh when I read it this morning. [emoji23]

We have NO and I repeat NO plans for this Jeep.

Seriously though, Ive been blessed to have been able to be able to do what I've wanted too, and on the incredible tight budget I've been on. I'm grateful to this forum and the runs we've taken with fellow Wayalifers that have shown my better half the importance of building up our rigs and giving her a new appreciation for the Jeep way of life. If not, she'd just think it was a pointless expensive habit.
