Your sahara looks great. I have one myself. Yours had a nice clean simple look to it. Can you tell me more about the mods you've done. Some more detail about the suspension and wheels/tires.
Thanks

Thank you. I do need it clean and effective because it is a daily driver. I didnt want to lose much off - road so i had to go for changes where they were needed.
I'm currently using the standard tire size, Some OME Coils and Bilstein 5165 Shocks.
All the lower arms have been swaped for stronger ones as well as all the bushings (SuperPro); I also got some ARB covers for the axles and an ARB rear locker. The jeep performs GREAT ! And i do go off road.
Still need to reinforce my front axle and some minor changes. Otherwise, i love it the way it looks and runs. (9Lts/100km); Pinion and Ring ratio is standard.
THIS is also a very important detail

So stock tire size? If so why do you need wheel spacers?Which ome springs are those? The light, medium or heavy? And how much lift do they give? I'm assuming those bilsteins are for lifted jeeps and not stock height? I have the yellow bilsteins hd shocks on my stock height. They are just ok. I was hoping for some better handling. Does your drive and handle better on and off road?
Sorry for all the questions but I like your dual purpose set up and that seems like it would be perfect for me. Thanks.

I need Spacers because they help the jeep look better, i didnt want to have it lifted and keep the wheels hidden, and also (not always) keeps things away from the fender flares. This OME are Medium. I can send you the References later, have to check the invoice.
I've got a 2.5" lift. This Bilstein are for modified jeeps. Only because they have been built to spec with dumping valves, valving and travel details (adjusted to weight after all the iron added lolol). (there are models available for stock jeep Height). Those stock dont even compare, try these and see the diference.
On mine i go offroad and use it without any reservations (only the normal ones. Trying not to break anything... thats all ) and then, home on the freeway, 170km/h, 150km/h ... No problems, no vibrations no nothing, just home.
Ask anything you need. Im glad we can help. Here are som more pic's... here you have a JK exactly the same as mine but with differences on Tires (315/70R17) and Shocks (OME). 2.5" Lift;
