Not having my JK yet.

I am seriously thinking I should go straight to my 40's when I get it instead of starting with 37's. I seem to be in the same boat with those as everyone with 33's to 35's.

Haha, no. We just might do some more to our current baby. Maybe see if there is an update on the motor/trans software since last year and maybe do something to the interior/exterior to deaden the sound and clean up the interior. Might need to buy some headsets to wear when driving distances. Can't really listen to the radio at all with soft top on or at low speeds. Its sort of like standing behind a Harley all the time, heh.

I agree. A few month's later I sold the 33's and bought 35's.

Slight regret on getting 35s instead of 37s, but it works out a lot better cause it's my DD. Wish I had a Rubi or at least front/rear 44s, but I got it used for a killer price, so oh well.

Just a little remorse, got the natural green, should have got a white and a black one as well, just for different moods.

Thumbs up
I got a black jeep, I think i'd rather have a green or blue, but I'm lucky I have a jeep!

I really wanted the mountain edition, but got a sahara for the same price, seemed like a good deal.

The only thing I have bought that I ended up not using was RR mirror relo brackets.

I also bought a Teraflex leveling kit that has since been replaced with a full lift kit.

I currently have 35's ... but first bought a set of Rubi Take-offs ... then a used set of Firestone M/T's with Soft 8's ... and then a set of MTZ's with Eagle Alloys. Luckily I always ended up re-selling them for what I paid for them.

I actually sold the just the MTZ's for the amount I paid for the rims and tires ... so I got my Rims for free ...
