Does it really matter how we customize are JK's as long as owners we are satisfied. When going against a mechanic's advice for spacers instead of a 3000 suspension upgrade it was brought to my attention that I am in fact building a mall crawler!

Cold blooded yet true at this time...I want five rims and five tires before I do anything to the suspension. I am just saying because for me to drivie a JEEP off the lot on bicycle tires with no immediate expectation of increasing the stance is blasphemous

 

Actually, as the jeep contacts ground on 4 small areas of rubber -- which determine the grip, regardless of whether you "mall" or "off-mall" -- this is THE most important mod...

 

Lifts & tires are usually the first mods, guys do.

 

I second that /\

I put 33's on as soon as I could afford it. My first mod was flipping the rear view mirror upside down. Did that during the test drive.

 

Ahh. The wonderfull part of having a free spirit. What may be considered blasphemy for some. Is actually piety for others.

 

Ehh...I have spacers on mine and it crawls rocks just fine, thanks! You'll be fine with spacers...you can always upgrade later and sell the spacers.

 

Im working the oposite way. Top to bottom. Bumpers / tire carrier / diff covers / lights then ill go suspension then wheels and tires last

 

Guys do??? What is the first thing us girls do?? Think hard before answering..lol
Here are my Jeeps.....what do you think I did first???

 

I prefer it lower so cant call it a mall crawler though im not dropping off rocks and going up to my sills in water and mud still like to see others do that but if I wanted that id buy a atv my jeep is to get me around and get me to the spots I cant get with a car or truck with out getting stuck yet I don't need a lift.
tires were my first mod wich lead to tire carriers and bumpers im trying to stop at that but I might need springs due to front bumper if I add a winch ill need more spring rate I only go to the mall when I need something I live in the mountains of nh call it what you will I had a 2011 sport traded it for a rubicon did I have to no . but life is easyer for me not having to regear and replace my axles and add elec disco better shocks you know and also have to constantly bring it in and pay a mechanic and downtime if that's conciderd a mall crawler I realy don't care ! I got stuck with my rubicon and couldn't get out in 4 lo tried rockin it . rememberd I had lockers and hit the button . presto it was like a helecoptor tied on to me I was out in a second . To me that's why I bought the rubicon over another sport . to much agrivation with a sport when all I needed was low transfer gear , and stronger axles and buttons, without getting out
rock sliders on the lower doors, 410 gearing, ac wich my sport didn't have . I have been to the mall but I don't crawl there , I prefer the back dirt roads but not destroying my investment
