The other cool thing is that you can do a simple budget boost to fit 35's and a four inch lift will fit 37's. They already have them developed and are selling them.

I dont mind the fenders that much but I'm also envisioning larger tires on the jeep. They look oversized with the stock 32's but I dont think they will with larger tires. And the bumpers, well..........aftermarket will catch up and until then just chop them up a little
I like the interior up front also, except for the window switches and the door locks. It's like they paid more attention and tried to get cutesy with the locks and the switches were an after thought. But overall I really like it.

You might be right about the fender, but I really like the bushwhacker fenders that Ken posted if only because they aren't flat and don't appear to be as wide at the front.

The fenders do simply remove with something like 4 bolts though. Also, the Sahara we had was a body color molding and had 18" wheels, so it was kinda goofy. I will say this, you can't brake torque it and spin the tires, even in a turn or whatever you try.

Good luck with that!
That green color is ! But the whole truck looks kinda cool. I've never seen one before. It does look as long as an H2 in the pics.

Default Re: I want this color, she wants black.....

good little write up.....

"If you hate the JK it?s probably because you?ve spent a good chunk of change on your TJ and a little too much time on opinionated and uninformed message boards. However, the real issue with this is the fact that you haven?t been behind the wheel. The new Wrangler is more capable off-road, more comfortable on- and off-road, and it?s less expensive than the previous model. After having driven the new Wrangler over a good portion of the Rubicon Trail, as well as through some mountain roads, we have a pretty good idea of what it can and can?t do. Here are some of the common complaints of the JK and the reality of each gripe.

Complaint: It?s too big.
Reality: Overall, the JK is just over 5 inches wider than the TJ. That?s only 2 1/2 inches (or about the thickness of your hand) on each side. We have yet to see a trail where this increase would stop you. If so, fold in the mirrors and let the flexible flares absorb some trail. If tight trails are in your future, get the two-door. Wanna comfortably bring your friends and family on reasonably difficult trails, get the four-door

Complaint: The plastic bumpers are stupid and weak.
Reality: So are the TJ?s. How many TJs are still hitting the trails or even the streets with the factory bumpers? Swap ?em out.

Complaint: The minivan 3.8L V-6 sucks.
Reality: The new V-6 makes its power at a slightly higher rpm than the retired 4.0L inline. Typically, you?ll find that you?ll drive the new engine about 750 rpm higher than the old one when on the highway. The 4.0L was a great engine, but even it has its downfalls with problems, such as cracked exhaust manifolds and a lean condition at wide-open throttle. The V-6 will still start in low-range First gear and idle up a hill. In our opinion, the 4:1 gearing in the Rubicon transfer case suits the V-6 better than the torquey inline. In the sand and mud, the higher-revving V-6 also seems to have an advantage.

Complaint: The new electric lockers suck.
Reality: The JK axlehousings, shafts, and gears are all stronger than the TJ?s. It?s true, when disengaged the rear JK Rubicon locker is open whereas the TJ?s is a limited slip. But we?ll take the strength and durability over the limited slip any day.

Complaint: The plastic front fenders suck.
Reality: When you bang ?em up they will be cheaper to replace than the TJ?s painted steel parts. Also, the JK fender is more likely to tear off than to cause collateral damage to the grille, tub, and internal structure like the TJs fenders. Interestingly, the JK is the first Jeep introduced where we were told by the marketing and design team that they took the aftermarket into consideration. To bring the price of the vehicle down, less expensive components were used in nonessential areas that they knew would be upgraded anyway. The bumpers are a perfect example of this. The JK could be a natural for tube fenders anyway.

Complaint: The JK CV driveshafts are garbage.
Reality: With any amount of lift it is likely that the front and rear JK driveshafts will need to be replaced with U-jointed units, even on the Rubicon models. However, all 4x4 JKs will have fixed yokes front and rear. Changing out the driveshafts on the JK will cost about as much as the slip-yoke eliminator kit (not including labor) and a rear CV driveshaft needed to properly lift some TJs.

Complaint: The mid-ship?mounted fuel tank won?t allow a long-arm lift kit.
Reality: You won?t need an aftermarket long-arm lift kit. The JK comes with up to 32-inch tires from the factory (Sahara and Rubicon models). Fitting 35s should only require 2?3 inches of lift. This will keep the suspension geometry in check without the complexity or expense of a long-arm lift kit.

Complaint: The anti-skid Electronic Stability Program (ESP) will interfere with my driving habits.
Reality: It can be disabled with the push of a button. With the ESP activated the JK will handle light years better than the TJ on snow, ice, and slick road surfaces, even if the TJ in question has the Rubicon?s limited-slip rear differential.

Complaint: I?m stupid. My TJ is still better.
Reality: The ?07 Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited feature reduced prices throughout the lineup by an average of $1,200 while adding an average of $1,800 in content when compared to the outgoing ?06 models. You get more of a better Jeep for less money. If you prefer the appearance of your ?06-and-earlier Wrangler that?s one thing, but better a TJ is not."

Moon, so what I read means if you want to go with 37's, you need new driveshafts and some other lift then the long-arm, correct?

That pic in front of the off road shop really shows it's clearance with the larger tires.
