Who needs big tires and a lift to look cool?

I guess I will throw up the first picture of a non-lifted with 33" tires. I do want a 2" lift, but don't have one yet. I drive 100 miles a day round trip to work and love my JK.

Hey Thanks SRJeep - I still need to install my rock lights and my Rigid reverse lights. I have them, I'm just being lazy. Oh and I have a custom slant back soft top (similar to the Trektop NX). I can't wait to get that back on for the summer (I am sooo ready...)

It's a Viair 400c heavy duty compressor with a 2 gallon tank. All you need is the wiring, some u-bolts, the regulator switch, and a gauge. Many places sell everything you need plus stuff you don't in a kit. I just checked quadratec and they have a system for about 370.
I only used this kit because I already had it from 2010.
I'd look into the ARB system that mounts right above your master cylinder. Less space used and almost as fast without a tank.
If you go the route I did feel free to PM me and I'll send you my # if you any ?'s

Well since the idea of this thread somehow managed to get off the original topic very quick, here's my stock JK that I have made several small mods to without putting a lift and tires on yet. It looks pretty badass going down the road at night with all the lights on and nobody knows I am running stock.

Here's my stock 2011. I have some JKU springs in the garage that'll give me 2" max and I'll be picking up some 33" duratracs soon but that's about as big as I'll go. Not interested in any tire bigger than 33". I admit I am partially doing this for a better look but I also wheel during the summer and it'll give me a better advantage on the trails. I removed the plastic bumper cover and might do a modest stinger. other than that....I'm good to go. 2nd pic is my gf's JKU. She might do 33's as well, it's her jeep so she can decide.

exactly, im just trying to warn some jeepers out there, bigger tires will greatly increase your mpg wasted and lift kits put stress on your jeep parts. Transmission will blow earlier then expected due to lift kits.Everything that deals with the suspension will be affected. be careful what you see on this thread, monkey see monkey do. This goes to the daily drivers. I love my jeep its my daily driver, im going to mod it but keep the tires and lift as stock as possible, the Rubicon tires is prob as high as i'll go.
