I like factory wheels of any type. Those steelies up to the 18" saharas.
On my TJ I had 35s wrapped around alloy wheels, decided that was not the jeep I wanted and dropped it down to 2" of lift and put 31" MTR's on the cheepo factory steel wheels. The wheels were tough, light, cheap as dirt, simple, and ez to clean. Your wheels remind me of them. Maybe that is why I keep looking at your jeep. I love it!!!

Thanks Bigblue and Screamin Lizard. I agree the factory wheel looks great. I'm on a budget right now so I decided to stick with them. Big I love that white Tj Sahara. It looks great!
LOL ShawnJ I just heard the news about Turk. We only end pre-season with an FG for our starters? Things were lookin bleak to say the least. But thats Bills country for ya. We still love em no matter what!!
Thanks for making such a sweet and simple lift Taraflex..... it rocks!!! I have not installed the TB Bracket yet seeing as I'm lookin to order an adjustable TB. Would you advise against not having it installed while just driving on the streets. If I don't have an adjustable by JK Fest time I plan on installing it.
As for the fenders... LOL Yes I removed them for more head room and to make getting the front struts off a bit easier. I have an 07 and 2 winters here in the lans of snow and salt made that task a 1 hour job. I'm kicking my self for not buying some ratcheting wrenches.

I live on N Freeman near OP high school. Where abouts do you wheel? I've been to Whispering Pines, Copper Ridge, and Rausch Creek.
