New to me LJ rubicon. Hard and soft tops. All stock, just ordered a 2” lift for it going to run that until the new Tires that came on it wear down some. Not my daily driver so hope to keep the miles down. 2005 with 110,000.

Nice looking jeep.

Thanks, love the extra room of the LJ. Got a couple inches of lift and leveled it out some last weekend.

From the picture it looks like your pretty close in belly height even though he has 40s that’s pretty cool. What size tires do you run on the tj

Daughter just picked this up over the weekend. It's going to be our project this summer (when she's around).

Engine is the 2.5 (re manufactured with 12K miles on it), with the AX-5 transmission. Tires are 30x9.5 (same as my LJ)

We've fixed the electrical issues (minor); now we have to fix the leak in the exhaust, rust on the Window hinges and a hole in each of the front fenders. One of the bolts that holds the upper hinge to the window also looks like it's broken off and will need to be removed & replaced.

Top is meh, some seam issues but it keeps one dry.

Linked on 35s.

The jk is fun to take out because how big it is. It's big.

Neighbor told me to take it to the gym and fuel it up a few weeks ago.

I backed in to a parking spot and a lifted f250 rolls in next to me.

The jk's roll bar was taller than his roof.

My 2015 Sport gettin' it done with 6 speeds. I absolutely love this color (Tank)--every time you look at it, it's different. Had to search quite a bit to find it when I got it new (JK sport, AC, hard-top, manual transmission)--dealer had to go get it 400 miles away.

My extensive list of mods:

Rubicon tires w/ TPMs removed (aired down to 15psi here so I can keep up with the big-boys in comfort and style)
Rubicon rock sliders (JKUR's actually, cut down to fit)
Superwinch 9500 Tigershark winch (used so far to pull a deer and once to get a stump out of the yard)
Chopped front factory bumper (cause the factory one just looked too damn wide for my taste)
Rough Country front floormats
USB outlets wired up to the rearview mirror
Rearview mirror flipped upside-down for impressive gain in front/rear visibility
Uniden CB with tuned Firestick, modified by my garage door for added flexibility
Superchips in play to make speed-o read right with bigger tires and to get rid of the TPMs nag
Door chime disabled
Hill start assist disabled
Black dog hair thoroughly distributed on the upholstery to protect it from mud

Doors removed for ass-kickin.

Got some dents in the armor and control arm mounts and the tailpipe now terminates in a crescent shape. It's a beast--with the tires aired down and a decent spotter, it never ceases to amaze me. Last year I went through a dirty hole deep enough to fill the passenger side footwell (which reminds me--I should cut holes in the carpet around the drain holes so that the carpet is less of a coffee filter next time).

I have the Viair 200psi system with tank. I need to do a better job of always having the hose with me though as I could have helped someone on the side of the road the other day if I had it.

Co2 is fastest but you have to deal with the tank. It’s a few minutes to get out the hose and air all 4 up with an onboard 12v system. A York compressor would be best but you pay for it.

How quick is inflation?

About 5 or 6 minutes to get out the hose and air up all 4 295/70R17 tires from 14 psi to 30 psi at about 9,000 ft elevation.

I bought the compressor, the ARB tire deflator and the ARB air hose kit on eBay during their 20% off sale.

I like that the compressor tucks into the engine compartment. When going on long trips I often don’t have space for a bottle.

Maybe I'm just not as hard core as you.

I don’t understand what the diameter of the wheel has to do with how wide a tire appears, but whatever.

For a point of reference, the width of common offroad tires has typically been 12.50” for decades. 305s, 295s, 285s etc are all narrower options compared to that benchmark. Lately there have been a lot more options for somewhat tall and narrow tires.

The tires on your Jeep look good, very proportionate, not too wide.

LOL, maybe it is more of a how people equip vehicles for the western US thing or something, but 33x12.50s were practically THE standard offroad tire 30 years ago when I bought my first CJ. They certainly were not “ridiculously WIDE” even way back then.

10-12 inches on a 16 inch rim is wide to me.

Maybe I'm just not as hard core as you.

Edit: My 305s show as a cross section of 12 inches. I measure them to be slightly more than 11 inches. Seems pretty wide to me, but I guess I'm just a poser.

As a point of reference. My tires in these pictures are 12.5” wide on a 15 x 8 wheel, 8 is the width of my wheel.

Like everyone said ive never had a tire thinner than 12.50. My f150 was 35x12.50 and my tj is 33x12.50. Alot lf guys are going much wider. My old bosses h2 had 35 ot 35x15.0. But they came with 35’s factory. Alot of other jeep guys are running 13.50. Diesel guys are running 37x13.50 with 4 inch lifts. They can run 35x12.50 with a level kit like most half tons after 05-07.

I'll be putting 285/75/17s on my stock rims once I get my lift installed.

I like a narrow tire, and not many options for us pizza cutter lovers other than super swampers.

You running wheel extensions?

I have been considering moving up to that size or the slightly shorter 295/70R18 after my current 295/70R17s wear out since I want to stay with Nitto Ridge Grapplers and they don’t (yet?) offer them in a 35x11.50R17 like they do the Trail Grappler M/T. I like the height with a width that stays covered by the fenders. I would prefer to stay with a 17” wheel, but I guess I will cross that bridge if I have to.

Did you get your sliders installed?

You are going with a 3.5” lift, right?

Trying to decide what to do, currently they're sitting loosly on the jeep. LOD offroad can eat a bag of dicks. Their customer service and communication sucks. I cant really ship these back so they already have my money. The front pinch seam panels on both sides dont line up and are too far off to accept bolts. Im either going to lop them off entirely or have a fab shop reposition them correctly. Just dont want them riding up against the jeep unsecured and abrade, cause corrosion later, or smack the body.

Yep still going with the 3.5". Its been sitting on the shelf in my garage last 6 months. Yeah, im slow

It does suck, because for $800+ these should fit perfectly.
It looks like this on both sides, whether sitting loose or everything torqued down. It actually sits a little lower than this when everythings torqued. But Ive tried everything; using a jack, moving it around, deleting certain bolts, etc.... Those holes wont even get close to fitting bolts through. The pics may not do well showing the problem, but the panels are sitting too low and out/away from the pinch seam. To drill matching holes I'd have halfmoons and would need to bend the pinch seam outwards towards the part. I aint doing that.

I even sent these pics to their sales dept and one of their designers. Crickets.
Last I heard from them they would accept return, if I managed to get them boxed up. I had questions about shipping, called twice and emailed again. Nothing.
I'm just going to fix it myself and when people ask "hey man, whered you get those sliders" it'll be an opportunity to tell them my experience with LOD Offroad.

Having some LOD stuff... they make a good product, but my first experience with their CS was my last.

My advice, if you like their stuff, is to put someone between you and them. My last order went through Northridge4x4 (which is bigger now than it was then) and THEY dealt with the LOD crappy CS for me.

They just don't tell you anything; and you'll get your shit eventually. They do respond, but they take their #$%&ing time about it. The advantage to having Northridge4x4 in the middle was that while they'll ignore a customer, they really won't ignore a really big customer. Plus, at least Northridge would have taken stuff back and dealt with it with LOD.

That said... it's a really solid product; or at least my TJ stuff has been.
