Now to find some elusive 255/75/17s; oddly enough not many options for a stock JK/JL size. May end up with a MT.
Take-off JL wheels/tires are CHEAP AF. Find a set, swap the tires, and sell the wheels, would probably be minimal out of pocket.

AS a reference point, my dad sold the wheels and tires off his JL with 5 miles on them for $300. He had them listed for a month, and got very little interest.

Going to hit 30k miles soon.
Oil change, and I'll do the diff fluid.
One wheel is slightly out of balance, there's a vibration over 80, but only when it's on the rear.

I wish! I’ve been thinking about grabbing those highline fender flares and the Bison bumpers for my :truk: doe.
Snorkel has grown into something I want as well. For zero practical reason.

:notbad: Snorkel looks :neat: I don't love the :ramz: and that center LED bar on that :truk: but everything else is :nice: IMO.

Wife wants a snorkel on her :jeep: because she thinks it looks cool.

Do the highline fender flares enable 35's on a Z71? I suspect there could be some clearance issues on non-ZR2s with the narrower track width.

At least the :ramz: are functional, they just need real beadlock rings to be beadlock wheels. I hate wheels with fasteners that do nothing. Those wheels from a different angle are really attractive IMO:

I'll never understand light bars either, but they're all the rage these days.

I doubt you’re getting 35s with just the flares on a Z71, but it could get me to a 33-34ish tire which would really be :notbad:

I need someone else to try it first to see what kind of total cash outlay I’d be looking at. Ie. if I need ramz as well, it might be best to switch to a ZR2 or something that clears 33s with just a leveling kit. Gotta be somewhat reasonable.

I bet you could fit 33-34's with just the flares, which indeed is probably all you'd need for the wheeling you intend to do with it.
