Hey new guy here. Hope my pics uploaded ok.

Anyways first time Jeep owner coming from a Bmw and loving the change. My jeep is a
09 Black unlimited Sahara. Purchased the jeep with the 2.5" lift 35x12.50 mickey thompson baja atz's. 17" mickey thompson classic locks and custom grey leather installed. So far ive tinted the windows added rugged ridge handle grips front and rear and added a bled a fuel door cap (locking).

Just contacted quadratec and plan on putting in the new tread lightly floor liners and cargo liner..

I have 2 questions on you guys opinions.. 1 should I paint the classic locks black or leave them as is.

2. I mostly drive this to work 45 min drive 4 days a week. occasionally take trips to st. augustine fl about 5 hr drive.. With the lift and 35's what would ne a good gear solition for me

Welcome
Wow your jeep looks just like mine when I first bought it in 09(I have the X model) Brought back good feelings..... Excitement being my first jeep.
I also added the Mickey rims 1st thing. Enjoy it!!! And 3 yrs later I have 2 looks.....,

Looks like the poll is pretty tied up..

Thanks for the positive replies.. I love this thing and cant wait to do some more modding.


Thanks for the suggestion I dig the black ring look after checking out rob's jeep.

U think blacking out the rim and leaving the ring polished could look cool?


Anyone know if there is a way to keep the stock rear bumper and add a spare matching 35" tire?

Future mods as of now include kool breeze sunscreen top
Mirror relocation brackets for doors off for spring and summer
Wet okole seat covers
Rubber floorliners by tread lightly
Front bumper light bar.
Gears ( need opinions from you guys. Dont know enough about them)
Smitty built cago restraint system..

Suggestions are more than welcome

I've done the 35" spare on stock bumper with no problems for 2 yrs. I will of course be adding a tire carrier and new bumper, but temporarily it's been fine.
Also check out Dirtydog4x4 cargo nets good product..... It's on my jeep.... Not the best pic of it here... sorry. Oh also that's where I bought my suncreen shade top too.

Thanks for the heads up rob! Now I can order my spare rim and tire.

Your jeep looks great...

Think im gonna play with the plasti dip this weekend on a couple of my rims and see what style I like . If I do decide to paint or just change my lock ring.

Gonna order a few upgrades this weekend.

Hopefully this summer I will have the $$ for some major upgrades.

I like the idea someone posted earlier about adding the black rings
