Threw himself in front of it to 'end it' after realizing the TJ was replaced by the JK.....
You want those tires
I would gladly accept the ridicule to drive off in that rig.

So long as it had an old school dash to go with it I'd rock one
Noobie question here, but why all the disdain for the Patagonias?
And that Commander nose conversion looks great!
I haven't ran them nor have I wheeled with any to tell you my experience with the Patagonias. There is one member who had a set that wasn't happy with them.
Best I can tell, they first came out as a rather inexpensive tire with a relatively soft, grippy compound and good road manners. Many people raved about how awesome they were so they exploded in popularity and the price went up to where they weren't such a screaming deal, and they either had quality control issues or they changed the formulation so many people were unhappy with them. I've seen reports of people who were happy running early production tires but were unhappy when they got replacements.
My heep came with them and I'm fairly content with their performance except for balance/roundness. The tires are old and chunked, but there's enough tread left I haven't justified getting new ones just yet. I'm not considering getting the same thing because of quality concerns.
Pretty cool with the old school grille. Anything is better than the angry grille.
Regarding the Patagonia tires: They are awful if you wheel on rocks. A former advocate for them posted these pics of what some of the hardest California trails did to his tires in a a relatively short amount of time. If I needed tires and someone gave me a brand new set for free, I would sell them and buy something else.

Anyone want to bet it's never been on a muddy/snowy road ?
I bet it has less that 50 miles on it.
IIRC we talked about these in the Car pics thread.
For those of you not in the know.... This was a kit that you can buy for the JK.
This is from a write up done back in 2020. The link above is the manufacturer, they're not doing the JK any more, appearantly.

Kinda weird dimensions , the Wagoneer front clip doesn't look right being narrowed to fit a JK.
I know it wont bother some folks on the Forum , but it drives be nuts to have the front wheels/tires that uncovered.
I guess I commute on snowy / muddy roads enough to know that Jeep couldn't drive 1000' before you couldn't see out any window.
Fun looking trailer queen though !
Hell that happens to my Jeep with stockish sized tires and it's got rocker flares on it.....

But would you take the flares completely off to make it " better " .
