Congrats! Great looking JT! Small lift and 37s to start? I agree, you need to get it as high as possible to gain clearance.

Well, the time has come for another build. It seems that I’ve been turning over jeeps faster than I’d like to recently.
The predecessors were:
2000-2009| 1993 YJ Sport
2007-2014 | 2007 JKU Sahara
2014-2019 | 2015 JKU Willys Edition
2019-2021 | 2017 JK Hard Rock Edition
I always had said that if I won the powerball, I’d buy an AEV Brute Double Cab. Unfortunately, that never panned out but Jeep came through by making a slightly more affordable option. I still didn’t want to spend $40k so that limited what was in my price range.
With that being said, here is my latest Jeep.

Only options on the sticker are auto and cold weather group.
Now comes the painstaking decisions of how to utilize a modest build budget on such a clearance challenged platform.

Looks good. Would look even better on 40s.

Oooooohhwee! Nice truck and shocker, a Willy's to boot! Yeah, you're gonna have to jump to at least 37's.
I also see a nice bed rack for the kayaks in the future. Maybe even a RTT.....

That’s part of the tough decisions. I have some low mileage 35s on beadlocks in my garage so I’m trying to decide:
1. Am I ambitious enough to break them down to jump up a size.
2. Is it worth the ~$1000 budget hit to move up.
I know the right answer is 37s but..
