Looking for pictures of a certain JK

I agree the look is good, I love my stockers too...BUT they scratch real easy. Mine look like hell, so when I run these tires out and move up to 35s I'll get new rims that sink in a little more to avoid trail scratches.

The lift looks a lot like a RE 4.5" LA. The silver rear arms give it away. 37s look good on it but doesn't that seem like too much tire for the stock rims? Maybe not... since they are 12.50's and not the typical 13.50's like on most 37s.

Thats the one. Thanks.
Any idea what size tires those Iroks are? I'm guessing they are the 37x12.5x17's?
That is about the stance that I'm looking for. For lift I'm going to run the 3" FT Ultimate, a 3/4" front spacer, and a 1" body lift (all on order now), and was looking at either those tires of the 37x12.5x17 BFG Krawlers.

It is a 4.5" re long arm, and I think the tire width vs. stock wheel with is ok due to the amount of sidewall. Been great so far, I will let you guys know if I have any problems. BTW, if you guys do find the original thread with that picture, I would like to know who posted so I can say hello to a local wheeler.
Thanks,
Cajun

Cajun,
Nice Jeep. Last time I was in your neck of the woods (Right after Katrina hit) all hell was breaking loose! Hope you all are doing much better.
So how does your Jeep drive with the stock 4.11 gears? Or did you swap out the gears already? What size stock rims do you have? And how long did the RE 4.5" lift take to install?
TKS,
Gar

My dream Jeep!
Cajun....I absolutely love your Jeep...I had already planned almost the exact same setup on my Rubicon 4-door when i get it next week. only diff was thinking about different tires and adding AEV hood. Now that i've seen pics of yours, I know its the way to go.......
couple of questions,
What rear bumper did you go with? any other mods you have made? and can we please see some hi-res images from diff angles of your insanely sweet Rubi!
Thanks,
Jer
