more Gear, new JK has arrived

[Grim Reaper]

They sure are nice. One of my friends just picked one up and I could get use to it. If it could pull a 22ft Airstream I would be all over it.

Maybe next year they will belly up and drop that Hemi in it and make me use mom's Employee discount.

Quick replys to some questions - Fresno was the closest dealership that had a White Rubicon in stock that was not asking a premium for it. As for the H3 Alpha if I could have seen one in person and if they were available now I just might have gone that route. Still no pricing but I think you can order them as of a couple of days ago.

Oh ya just ordered 7 of these --

Any suggestions on which tire I should put on them -- I am leaning towards the Goodyear MTR or the BF Goodrich MT's in a size 315/75/16. I like the MTR's for there durability but I have had problems with cupping. I have no real experience with the BF Goodrich MT's. Both of these tires would be load range D -- any thoughts on how will they will do once I air down. I am currently running 35" MTR's on my Jeep but they are load range C. Makes for a nice ride when aired down.

Thanks

I got a chance to look over one of the AEV wheels the other day. Very nicely built! Not to mention sweet looking.

Congrats!

I'll vouch for the BFG MT in the 315/75/R16 size as that is what I'm running on my D and AT Horizon. By the way, very nice rig! :wings:

[flyingwil]

Sexy wheels! Those AEV wheels are my favorite on the Jeeps! Congrats on the new rig Justin!

 

[blupaddler]

Toyo Open Country MT's
They are load range E though...
I like mine so far.

 

[Gear]

Regearing -- Yes with time I will regear. Just talked to allJproducts and set a date for the lift install. If all goes as planned the lift will be installed early August. Good point Luisjg, I will have to look into the gears.

 

[Mlachica]

not sure if you've answered this already but judging by your signature, you're keeping your other jeep? what are your plans for it?

I will be keeping the 03 Rubicon until the build out is near complete - lift, tires, custom rack. Then I will probably sell it. I am swaying back and forth on this as I hate to get rid of a good Jeep but at the same time I do not want to store and maintain two identical vehicles. Currently I am in debate as to how much I should be removing from it. If I take the winch, lights, radio's, GPS out how much of this is going to lower the value of this fine Jeep. On the other hand if I leave it intacted someone else will make out like a bandit and I will just be lossing money.

The accessories are not going to make you much money on the sale unless you just luck out and find the right buyer. It is going to be KBB.com plus a little for stuff like Lift, wheels and bumpers but the winch you would loose on if you leave it on.

Last built rig I sold I couldn't get anywhere near what I needed because of the goodies. I sold off some of the good stuff like the warn shafts and CTM's and made the soft top optional to the truck buyer to get the money up. It took a lot of extra time to market the goodies separately but It got me where I needed to be on the money.

Grim Reaper -- You are right on the money! I just hate to take apart all of the work I did.
