Got my Rubicons and MTR's

I just bought these off a guy that bought a new Rubicon and took it from the dealer to a 4x4 shop to super lift it and get big tires and wheels. So these have only a few test drive miles and the 5 mile drive to the shop on them. A great price for $800 for all five wheels and tires.

Lookin' Good!

Stock Rails that come with the Renegade. Round tube. It looks big but it's not really sticking out.

Very nice

BTW what size are the tires?

What kind of lift do you have on it?

Great price. Great look. Great color. Great model choice (Renegade). Great CB antenna mod. Too bad it's not a 2003, then it would be perfect :wink:

Adam....hahahaha!!! If I had done the Reny basket mod, our KJ's would be near exact....just the rails would be different, I think.

I have the Rusty 2 1/2" Coil Lift

Tires are 245/75/16 and I am getting the rub 1. By the fog light door and on the pinch weld plastic cover. I will work on that this week. Will follow Adam's mod but I remember someone saying they didn't cut off the pinch weld plastic cover. They used the heat gun to melt it to stay there. Anyone know where I can find that mod version for the pinch weld (Pics)?

Looking Good TokyoJoe!

I love that tire and wheel combo. I have a set waiting for my Frakenlift to be installed. Should be here next week. By the way I am sending you a PM about Buckley.

Oh wow that looks amazing. I'm going to see if I can find some of those around here =]..

Oh and do they rub at all?

auggy · **Posted:** Thu Sep 15, 2005 6:35 pm

Oh and what were the details on the lift that you did?

Maybe one day Jeep figure out they need to make a model with this setup. Looks great! $800 for those wheels/tires is almost a crime.

David, If you want to drive over here sometime we can knock out those pinch welds in about 20 minutes. I just did mine a couple months ago and it was relatively easy. I was going to do the thing with the heat gun, but I just used some black spray paint instead and you'd never notice.

If you want to do the heat gun thing you still cut the plastic away. Then you flatten it with the gun, slide it back in the wheel well and either glue it in place or use the heat to melt it in place.

Once I got in there I just decided that a rattle can of black paint would be easier. Honestly, I've seen the mod above and it doesn't end up looking much better to me (if at all). Just my .02 cents.

The KJ looks great, btw. I'm glad you finally ditched the stockers!
