What would you all recommend.
i was told you cant put 15's on the jk's not sure why, but i dono if its true, personally i would do 15's and 35's if you can. More tire and less rim is sick

hmmmm, fake rubicon stickers? .

i would def regear. check with david at northridge4x4. or if your friend knows how to install them, maybe he has a source on parts, too. not sure how that d30 will handle the new gearing. might want to find a cheap, used front d44 and then just regear the rear to 4.10s, until you can afford to regear both and get the beefier front. just my .02.

Well the first thing I would do is search this website for all
your questions. Chances are it's been asked and answered by other people a 100 times. If you still can't find the answer your looking for, then start a new thread.

I'm not trying to be a dick or a search Nazi but questions like these are beat to death.

ahh its your wifes jeep, no wonder your pissed! they measure 33.5 so thats what they are? i refuse to argue with a man who has to chat about his wifes jeep on an online forum lol my lifes a little more interesting that that, but feel free to laugh about my decals. i dont claim to be anything mroe than a rubiclone and im proud to have it. If you would like to tell me your sahara is better than my "rubiclone" believe what you want but weboth know the truth.

i didnt change anything. this is like watching the special olympics. besides adding recent mods, my sigs always been the same, since i joined the forum. even when you first mentioned the sahara thing.

bottom line is i was trying to give you real advice in my original reply, just not sure why you would say you have a "rubiclone"? the sticker makes it a clone? i think having a rubicon sticker on anything thats not a rubicon is lame. thats my opinion, take it or leave it. if you want to clone a rubicon, at least get the e disco, and front and rear lockers. the sticker doesnt make the rubicon a rubicon.
