Expensive, heaviest on the market and they dry rot in a year. That’s been my experience with 2 sets so far

Well mine were 3 years old when I sold them to a buddy and he wheeled them for another 3-4 years that I know of. So I can say dry rot wasn't my experience.
Expensive? Yep I guess they are but they work. Heavy? My 4 popper moved them down the road so I can't say more.

And while some don't like that added footprint I do. I found for my type of wheeling it worked well.
Thanks, Wildman. I am less concerned with snow versus driving in heavy rain, but good to know nonetheless!
I went with the silver Rubicon Xtreme wheels and the BFG KM3 tires. I ordered them from QT mounted and balanced with free shipping to the house. It will be interesting to see how well they are balanced.
The MORyde arrived today so I started the install after work. The old came off very easily, which is great because I saw some people struggle with some of the bolts on the videos I watched. I should have it wrapped up tomorrow afternoon. I also am going to clean up and repaint the tire carrier before reinstalling, but I have some time before the new wheels and tires arrive.

A little late, but for a Black vehicle I'm a fan of the Gunmetal wheels. There's less contrast between the body color and wheels, so they work well together.
I only have pics of the MORyde. The wheels and tires aren't here yet. I finished up the MORyde, but the damn seatbelt I removed to install the reinforcement bracket rolled back up and now it's locked and it doesn't reach the bottom of the roll bar to screw it back in. I have tried starting the Jeep/unlocking the steering wheel, driving it and hitting the brakes, etc. Does anyone know how to release a seat belt? Lol....

Apparently I ordered 2 sets of 5 wheels and tires from Quadratec? Lol. My cc only has one charge but they called me today to ask if I wanted 5 or 10 shipped to me. THAT would have been something when 10 new wheels and tires arrived. Kudos to Quadratec for calling just to be sure!
Woohoo, full Savvy order has shipped. Very excited. I am going to install the Swayloc at the time I swap out the front bumper. The GTS will come a little later. I need some time to clean up and paint the rear cross member whilst the gas tank is out of the way.
WOW you're really rockin the mods... You'll love the SwayLoc
Lol, yes, give me all of the mods! My wife said, you know you don't have to do it all at once, right? She's talking crazy!
I don't know yet, but it'll be phased. Want to come back down for Skyline?! Lol
Sure thing! I had fun and enjoy installing quality parts.
Awesome! I will coordinate with you once I have a better idea.
Savvy front bumper and steering box skid arrived today. The GTS is a little lost in the FedEx tracking system, but I am sure it will arrive eventually. These also arrived today. Boom!
Obviously, we’ll see how well they are balanced, but in terms of convenience and packaging, ordering wheels and tires mounted/balanced with free shipping from QT is a good approach.
Dropped the Jeep off at my local 4WP on Tuesday for the JB Conversions shorty SYE and new rear DS install. The SYE was done the same day and we ordered a DS from Tom Woods. With some good shipping vibes, the DS will be here either tomorrow or Saturday, and I can pick up the Jeep. Once home, I will get the new wheels/tires installed. I cannot wait. I am going to drop the hardtop back on this weekend too.
Next up is installing the Savvy front bumper and Swayloc, installing the Savvy steering skid, and once it arrives, the GTS. I also plan to upgrade my Dana 30 with the Revolution Gear and Axle 30 spline 4340 Chromoly front axle kit with Eaton E-locker; my Dana 44 with the Revolution Gear and Axle 30 spline 4140 chromoly rear axle kit with Eaton E-locker; and upgrade both with Revolution Gear and Axle front and rear 5.13 gear package with Koyo bearings. Making progress but still lots to do.
