Looks awesome. Where in the heck did you find the sliders?

Yep, Texas Plate. Business in San Antonio...Live in New Braunfels.

The Step Sliders were part of a package that ASFIR (out of Israel) was trying to market here in the USA. I got very lucky they found L.O.S.T. and sent me the whole package for free to make sure they fit the US Version of the KJ. Also the Aluminum Fuel Tank Skid. The rails are pretty neat looking...I had to modify the mounts so they came out enuff to actually look like a small step. Their stuff was very expensive and never really caught on here.

I like the camo print.

Is that paint or a wrap?

Neither...approximately 330 individual pieces of vinyl hand laid. I have been thinking about the design for a couple of years. Something asymmetrical. I also vinyl detailed the rims to match. Then I added the Artic Badges on each sidee off the new Wrangler Edition:

330 pieces of vinyl?????

You must have some serious patience... I'd snap.

Looks good.

Darby,

U getting a lot of rubbing with those 255/70/16s? Honestly, I'm nervous about 245/75/16. My worn stock tires are awful close to rubbing on turns with spidertrax spacers. The lift seems to have moved the wheels forward just a touch. (2.5-3" lift).

Spidertrax...or any spacers that move the wheel out a bunch...increase the arc the tire travels. Take a pencil and place in flat on a desk. Now put the middle of the pencil over a particular "dot" and slowly turn the pencil 90 degrees and mark where the end of the pencil is. Then move the pencil so that 3/4s of it is outside the "dot" and turn. Notice how much farther out the end of the pencil goes. Same length of pencil (like the width of a tire) but the arc travel has increased. People think moving a tire "out" will alleviate rubbing issues...but it exacerbates those issues inside the wheelwell when turning.

I have no problems...but I only have a .21" spacer (Mr Gasket) which is needed because when you lift IFS it bring the tire/wheel combo inward and can rub the UCA. You probably need to ditch the huge spacers and see what happens.
