    2 inch suspension and 1/2 inch body lift question

    Been doing some searching and reading, but just want to hear some current feedback. When I bought the TJ, it had a 2" BL. I continued with that because it drove so well, but the aesthetic look has gotten to me. I had Some ranchos installed after I bought it and added a 3/4" puck to level the...

    The missing link to my '98 moss green TJ

    Had my faded black/gray hardtop painted LTB camel. A perfect match for the interior. No wonder this is the combo Jeep made out of the factory. What a refreshing change. I knew the jeep was lacking something and it finally clicked. Not the greatest pics, but it was at work. Before: AFTER:

    Losing it with lug nut info

    So yes, I know the different styles conical, flat, acorn, etc. But with steel wheels such as D-windows, everything I read is acorn. But aren't the D-windows, Baja 8's, crager wheels just flat with no 60 degree entry? Can someone help me get to the bottom of this and will 1.38" capped be...

    Cargo net identification + safari top

    Been trying to search, but just too many. Is this a DirtyDogs cargo net? Which safari top does this look like as well?

    Pics of Spice(LTB) Hardtop and Dark Tan(VK9)

    Looking for a swap from my black one or to have mine painted. Some posts are in bad lighting or a SEM 5110 paint match. So just looking for actual VK9 or LTB factory top colors. Whichever come first. Are the below VK9 or LTB or SEM spray paint? I want the darker tan. Or have people painted...

    Any rule of thumb for white letter direction on tires?

    obviously truly up to the owner, but when i had my gloss black D-windows on and STT PRO white letters out, it seemed right. I'm not going over rocks, so the worry of tearing up the white letters isn't an issue. Also be nice not to have to clean them all the time. I'm slightly old school, but...

    318/65/15 MT or AT: Does it exist?

    Calling all tire gurus. I want the 12.5 width appearance instead of 11.5 with the 32" tire size. Don't want to go to 33".

    Tire indecisiveness has got me all out of whack

    Due to my recent waste of $ and honest/unaware shops, I'm trying to figure out a plan. 2 of my 32" STT's are cupped bad due to previous owners suspension, rotating, and steering neglect. All is fixed, tires rotated to back on different new rims. As I thought things would be good, the one older...

    1/4" spacer: do I need to mess with hub centric since it's so thin?

    Going from a 3.75" BS to a 4" wheel and do like the 3.75" stance. So will these be just fine? 1/4" Billet Forged

    I give up on steel wheels

    Haven't had these Jegs for 3 weeks. Bent all to hell after mounting and balancing by 2 diff jeep shops. One wheel has 1/2 the wheel full of weights. Got a new set sent to me bc I'm naive. They arrived in 2 days, boxes tore all to hell, wheels scratched and bent beyond the other ones. At...

    Front rake question

    just replaced shocks to Rancho's. Rake still there. I'd rather level it out with simple coil spacers. The jounce cup distance is a normal 4". SO, front tire to fender is 4.75". Rear tire to fender is 6.5". Do spacers have a ratio of some sort or do I simply purchase a 1.75" spacer? Any...

    1st time owner '98 Sahara

    Obsessed with it. Threw some ceramic tint up there today. It'll help for the occasional scorching days here. Top and doors will be off most of the year. This was just more or less to match the glass in the hardtop. Went ahead and did 3" on windshield 👍 Took me 46 yrs, but I feel i scored a...
