Yes, I do plan on getting a 35" spare. They only had 4 tires. I'll get the spare this week. Total cost for lift, tires and spacers was $1900. I did the install of the lift.

The pics really do not give a fair assessment of the Jeep. It is a lot taller than it looks.

Yes I sold this



My build plans are similar. I will be doing tube fenders, lockers, rocker protection, bumpers, chromolly axles. I intend to take this the same places my other jeep went. I took my other jeep to many places including JV, the Rubicon and a lot in the Sierra's and socal desert.

IGOFSHN, the JK looks perfect. Will only the stock Rubi wheels work with 35x12.5's or will the upgraded X wheels work as well? Thanks.

Default Ooooh!

I like the lift/tire/wheel combo. I like the idea of going with the stock wheels for the time being. How are the tires doing on the stock wheels? Are you getting any rubbing on the tires at flex or lock?

I am thinking of going with a similar combo. Is there anything that you would do differently now that you have strapped all the money on to your new toy?

Everything is going the way I expect. Build up is always a little slow, but that is the fun part. I had my TJ for 6 years and was still doing things when I sold it.
