Nice lookin rig. It grew up in a hurry. Does she have any trouble crawling up into it? She did a lot of homework. Should wheel real nice. Thanks for posting up. Let us know how it works on the trail. She is about 5'4 and has to hop a little to get in. We are installing the lockers and 4.56s next week. I hope to have the Jeepmedic skid, SYE and rockers/corners installed by EJS. Some flex shots  Test fit to see if it will fit on my trailer for the trip  |

How did you get 35's on the stock rims? I thought 11.5" was the widest you could go.

Those rims are 15x8 and will handle a 12.5 tire. You just have to use spacers as the BS is 5.5" (which I think he is using per other posts I've seen on the build up). The new Pro-Comps Steelies that I have on order are the same size and are coming with 33x12.5s. They just have 3.75 BS so they will not to rub and i don't have to use the spacers (personal preference only....not saying anything wrong with spacers).
Yes, the manufacturers usually state 12.5 wide tires need 8.5" wheels as their recommended specifications, but there are so many using 8" rims with 12.5s that it doesn't appear to be an issue. (not that I am condoning going against manufacturer specifications or anything)....

Very Nice. What a difference a lift and tires does to the attitude of a jeep, going from stock to lifted.
Cool windshield lights, details on them please?

Ya lift and tires do make big difference jeredjmm, The windsheild lights i had 4wheelparts in stall cause im not go with wireing. The lights actually came off the stock bumper came with it when i bought the jeep, it does help at real dark areas.

Be sure to remove that trans skid before you go wheeling.

The front driveshaft will rub on it when flexing. Jenn's would drag with just a 2" procomp liftkit when disconnected.
