Rock rails. Whether your offroading or not I can tell ya from experience that those lugs on your 35s are going to do a number on your doors and hinges with debris if you dont . :-)

Do you know the difference in price for a say , 35" tire in a 18" rim compared to the same tire in a 17" rim? I didn't think so , so i'll tell you , about 50 bucks a tire . And what for , so you can look cool? It's not cool with wheelers , and there is a reason for that , and I am sure you don't know what it is. It's because you need a certain amount of sidewall flex when you go offroad , especially when you air down , you want the tire to bite , but don't want you rims to get damaged on rocks. I could go on and on but I just get tired of nubees thinking of mods they need on there new jeep when they haven't even wheeled it yet , again let a tried and true wheeler take you out in your new jeep and let him drive , you will be very surprised as to how capable it is , it's alot more capable then you are believe me! After you wheel and get used to it and realize you NEED more , maybe by then you will know more about the sport and really know what you need !

WOW straight from the stone age. I usually don’t post in public forums, but you sir have really hit a new low. Who cares what kind of questions he is asking? He is asking to get the knowledge so he too can become an avid off roader. So what if he doesn’t know the fording depth of his JK. What if he wants to use the snorkel to get cool clean air into the engine from a space not inside the hot dirty engine compartment. What if like me, he lives on an island and stock skid plates do just fine in the sand? He is a nubee and very excited about his new bad ass purchase. From reading your post I would rather go wheeling with an inexperienced nubee than a arrogant ass such as yourself alienating everyone around with what “real wheelers” think. I say throw a couple big ass bumpers on that rig, it would look cool!
