Default About to be a new JK owner in Houston

Hello all, I'm obviously new here. I'm a former TJ owner who spent all my money (at the the time) into mods for my former TJ. I'm now planning on buying a new JKU. Don't judge but, I'm more of a mall crawler than legit crawler these days . I'm buying a new JKU ASAP with my main goal of just having a bad-ass Jeep to roll around in on the weekends. I can't imagine putting more than 4,000 miles on it in a year and only see myself driving in mild off-road conditions , mainly beaches. I'm looking for an Unlimited Sport in True Blue. From there, I plan to add (at least) a 4" lift and 35" tires to start. Haven't decided on the tires or wheels yet but, the gunmetal color wheels look pretty slick. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated, I want this to be a bad-looking bitch! Also, if anyone has any recommendations on where to get the best deal on the Jeep or accessories, please let me know.

Thanks!

welcome ! 4 inches of lift with 35s is gonna look odd on a 4 door . most guys that have them run 37s with that much lift . 2.5 would be the ticket with 35s .just an observation . good luck dude and post up some pics when u get done !

Welcome fellow Houstonian. Ur description of usage about describes me too nowadays.

Any who.....I agree. 33's fit without any lift.
35's only need 2.5. Only from observation. I'm not lifting at all.

Here's my work in progress.....
