    Advertised Tire Width vs Actual Tire Width

    Ok, so I'm about to pull the trigger on new 15 x 8 wheels and 35 x 12.5 x 15 tires. The two tires of choice are Mickey Thompson Baja Boss and Maxxis Razr MT. Both tires are advertised as 12.5" wide. However, actual width for the Baja Boss is 13.1" and the Razr is 13.5". Are these too wide for a...

    Should I get a new soft top?

    What year did they change the material on the TJ? I have an 01 TJ, and I'm due for a new top. I'm wondering is the Bestop sail cloth is the same as what I have now, or is it's better, quieter, etc? Is it the same material Bestop uses for the Supertop NX.

    That's what I'm leaning toward. More importantly, my wife likes those the best, and if she's onboard, then I'm good to go! LOL

    I really do like the Walker Evans. It's such a unique style and great quality.

    Can't Make Up My Mind on Wheels

    I'm kinda leaning toward the machined aluminum or maybe a gray. I think you're right. On a darker color jeep, I'm not sure I'd like the black wheels. Everything is too dark. I don't know.

    Can't Make Up My Mind on Wheels

    I'm in the middle of the build on my Sienna Pearl 2001 Jeep TJ, and I can't decide on wheels. I'll be running 35 x 12.5 tires (brand tbd). Should I go with black, or should I buck the trend and go with machined aluminum look? Maybe even gray. The wheels I'm considering are the following: AR23...

    I'll check that when I put the springs in again tomorrow.

    Savvy / Currie 4” Suspension Rear Shock Travel

    Are you asking the measurement of spring height at ride height, or spring height when out of the Jeep? The rear spring is 18" when not compressed. I'd have to measure it at ride height. I've considered bar pin eliminators to move the shock down a little bit. I don't have a problem with shocks...

    Savvy / Currie 4” Suspension Rear Shock Travel

    I'm installing the Savvy/Currie 4" suspension on my 01 TJ. I have installed the 1.25" body lift, 1" MML, UCF High Clearance skid, Super Short SYE. Rear [pinion angle is pretty dialed in. What I notice is I have about 6.25" shock shaft showing on my rear Bilstein shocks. There is about 5.25"...

    Body lift and motor mount lift install help

    I just completed my Savvy Body Lift. I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but when you do the rubber isolators below the grille, you'll need to take out the headlights to run the bolt through the hole and screw it into the spacer provided in the savvy kit. On the end of the rubber...

    Deciding on shocks: Savvy Fox Shocks vs Rancho RS5000X vs Rancho RS9000XL

    Great question. I'm also in the same boat. Driving in the conditions you are suggesting, I might be concerned about the potential for shock fade. I'm wondering if a Fox reservoir shock might work well?

    Exogate or Bestop Tire Carrier?

    For those using MoRryde/Exogate, do you have any concerns using the OEM tire mount with a larger tire like 35".
