Before & After Pics

[Jeepforever]

Hi All, been doing a lot of work to my TJ since I got it a few months ago. Thought you may want to see the before and after. Along with brakes, suspension, stocks, steering refresh, also got new tires, rims, roof, seat covers, stereo, front bumper, wheel arch flares etc etc

Loving it more everyday.

Good looking.

Jeeps are Legos for adults.

Really looks solid.

Great looking Jeep, and good color! Just curious... is the front axle moved forward a bit by the new suspension? Could just be the angle, but it looks slightly longer in the front than stock.

Hey, @BlackJeep it’s all stock just a refresh, must be the picture. Does anyone know the color? Is it forest green?

In your door jam there is usually a sticker with information. The 3-letter paint code should be on it. Another way to find it is to look up your vin on this website.

Big thanks @JMT

What size are those original tires on the Ravine wheels, and what size are the new ones? What is your gearing and did you notice much difference in power after swapping to the bigger tires?

 

[Jeepforever]

Hi, the tires are the same, 31x10.5 15 - the Pro Comps are 15x10 with the OEM wheels being 15x8 I think so the stance is more aggressive with new wheels

Wait; black wheels are still a thing?
I like the Ravines.

Looks good.

 

[Danarch]

Looking great!

Chrome or Aluminum has been played out for a long time with the newer generations.
I'm a bigger fan of the black myself, and I'm GenZ

Hell my first mod was ditching the OEM rims LoL

I'm the opposite. I put black wheels on my cars in high school 20 years ago. Back then, that was the "new" look, back when 50 Cent and Lil John were on the radio. Now the blacked-out look is soo old and over done, the OEMs have even done it. That's the equivalent of gramps adopting a fashion/trend. Kick the old trends, brighten the world up.

Yes; when new minivans are sitting on the lot with black wheels, you know it's over.

Is that really a thing now? I’ve seen the cars/trucks/Jeeps, but I don't notice the vans.

If it rolls, somebody is going to murder it out.

Depends on the Jeep for me. I have a silver LJ that came with black wheels. I eventually got Raceline polished wheels and think it looks good with the silver.

I have another TJ that's my DD, it's the Khaki color with the oem wheels. I think that one would look better with black wheels.

The life most minivans live, i.e. they're an appliance with minimal maintenance, black wheels make sense since they're rarely washed.
