I’ve been eyeballing trail ready and battle born for wheels.
A Simple Build

This TJ and the one you sold me are like twins!
TrailReady does. Although if you're going with a heavier beadlock I'd lean toward 17" rims to allow for more brake options.

In all honestly I really was hoping you were going the LJ route, but I understand going back with a TJ as well. Reading this entire thread makes me wonder how my TJ will perform at Moab with a completely stock suspension

Pics in first postI read 7 pages of a build with no pictures of said TJ that is being built

I'm a fan of Trail Ready since they are here in Washington.
They came to the PNW4WDA Trail Jamboree for a few years. Brought their Liberty that was super modified once.
I love the Trail Ready beadlocks. I’m trying to justify spending the money on them though. Awesome wheels.
Pretty much twins! I actually really like those wheels you put on there to be honest. What are they?
The more research I do, the more that 17" beadlocks is sounding like a better option, I agree.
That price
Right? Did you see the community center in the neighborhood with the friggin' water park in it?
Up here that would cost well over a million.
I agree, I really like the highline fenders. Not just from an aesthetic point of view, but functional as well.
I'll have to do some measuring, but when I outboard this one (which is one of the first things I am doing), I'm thinking I may be able to fit 12" travel shocks front and rear.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but given the highline fenders, 6" of lift, etc., that's my best guess until I take measurements.
Yep, aside from the weather and politics, this is another reason we are moving. The amount of home you can get for your dollar down in Arizona is insane compared to what you would get for that amount here in Oregon.
By comparison, this is our previous house we sold that went for 350k:

They're just the cheapo $97 Procomp rims 1069-7985. The idea was that if they get damaged it'd be cheap to replace just 1. And they look pretty good.
Are you thinking you'll do the Magnum SC? It'd be cool hearing how it compares seat of the pants to the BoostedTech.
Gotcha. They actually don't look bad, and your logic makes sense. Way cheaper to replace than Pintlers, that's for sure!
I'm debating between the Magnum SC and a 5.7 Hemi using this kit:

The latter is obviously way more expensive, but I'm not in a hurry
