Decided to remove my spare and the assembly since I don't have a tire carrier to handle the bigger tire yet Also have another picture from earlier

Your stock carrier can handle the bigger tire just fine! No need to not mount it.

Really? I'm just worried because I've heard about how it could break welds or something like that in the swing gate. That would be nice if it could though

Decided to rip the shock boots off after reading through cozdude's build thread because I didn't want to trap anything in there View attachment 183822 View attachment 183823

I did the same thing to mine. Tore those puppies off. When I pulled them water and dirt came out. Good thing they weren't on the very long. Only a week. Whew dodged an issue there. Nice jeep too. Like sunburst orange. Great color

Thanks! And I'm lucky I didn't have much in the boots after 5,000 miles with them on

You bet. Love the 2 door builds. And your color too. I have my own build on here as well. But it's a flame red and also a 2 door

Nice I'm definitely going to check it out! It's nice to see 2 door builds because so many people are running 4 doors nowadays

When properly isolated it can support a 35 just fine. I've been running mine with one for a year now. I used pvc pipe shoved into the stock rubber isolators to prevent the spare from wiggling.

Good to know, now I just have to wait for the spare tire to come in the mail

Took some poser shots yesterday I think flat fenders may be in my future

 

[littlered_jk]

Nice. Which flatties you gonna go with? How's that light bar doing for you with the soft top. Any noise issues

 

[FLKEYSJK]

I haven't decided on fenders yet but the light bar is pretty noisy, I'm going to try and stop the whistling with weather stripping or something like that, it can get really annoying at times

 

[littlered_jk]

Just curious. I had one on with my soft top and it drove me nuts. Took it off and sold it. . Lol. Oh well. Had to try it.

Yeah it's getting old quick but I'm determined to figure something out lol

 

[cozdude]

Put some weather strip on the top half of the fins. That should help with the wind.

As for fenders just save yourself some money and cut your stock ones.

My dad had his jeep hit in a parking lot a few weeks ago, here's a pic So today I decided to chop up his old bumper and make it into a stubby bumper. I used rustoleum hammered paint and it'll work until I can afford to get the Evo 1/4 pounder.
