Looking awesome napalm
Onyx is a piece of art that's a fact jack
Thanks everyone!!!
So I question I've been thinking about though now is... How bad do I actually need C gussets? I'm not wheeling at all... At least in the next couple of months.

Thanks for the quick response. Looks like I'll be ordering gussets today... Now trying to decide if I want to also order a Flashcal as well.

Unfortunately after the C gussets, and possibly a programmer(if needed) I'll be all finished up for probably the remainder of the year. Just to recover from Wheels/tires/buying a new house... LoL.
But, I will be updating with plenty of pictures and adventures. We have a lot planned for the fall!

Snapped a few more pictures of my new BFGs today. Unfortunately, until I get my C gussets burned on next week, I won't be going off road to test them offroad.
Also picked this up at Wally-world today, it's made by surf city garage. Thought I'd give it a try and it works AMAZING! My new favorite cleaning product.
Unfortunately for the next week or so, I have to baby Onyx as much as possible in fear of bending my Cs. Maybe I'm being too cautious, but I am worried.
Also talked to a buddy about slicing some fenders!

Let me know where you find a cheap welder. I need to get something welded on my rear bumper.

Wow I love your rig. It's my like ultimate goal lol
I was looking at ordering the same wheels since I love the look of them and for practicality use I was thinking of scooping up 5 of them. Do you think if I throw the stock tires on them it would be okay? My jeep is still 100% stock, and upgrading to new tires will have to waitbut I could do a rim swap in the mean time.
But again nice ride man, put a lot of care into the aesthetic care of your Jeep. :clap2:

Thank you. It's coming along slowly but quicker than expected!
And do you have a rubi or sport?

I have the Sport but it is the "S" package if that helps lol

Here's a picture of them on stock rubi tires. The sport has the same size tire, just different tread. I thought it looked OK. But, you will lose a little ride height and the ride is a little rougher.

Damn, that looks really nice *drools* So because you changed your rims out, you noticed that the ride got a little rougher and lost ride height because of it? Just to clarify? :O

Well the wheels are about an inch wider than stock, they actually stretch the stock tire a little bit. Stretching that stock tire out makes it a little bit smaller as far as height. I'm not sure why my ride because more rough.

If the rim is only an inch wider then the tire beads have only moved out a half inch or less on each side and the tire diameter couldn't have changed much if at all. I'd be surprised if that had any effect on ride.
Did you make sure your running the same tire pressure as before?

It might have just been all in my head, LoL! And I was. Now I'm running 35s though!
