This is what it should have looked like from the factory.



Oh, so THAT'S why everyone pounds down their pinch welds!


I really need my RL front bumper...or at least I need to cut the existing bumper and wheel liner out.

Looking good! Now go pound that pinch weld over .White KJ's always look good,what's up with the spare?

When I ordered the tires at Costco, I forgot to tell them that I wanted all 5. So, I called them on the way home and asked them to order 5, but they forgot. So I'll get the spare this week some time.

I have to say that, although I LOVE the way these tires look with the spacers, I didn't expect the impact the spacers would have on rubbing. I mean, I assumed there would be some, but I'm making cool noises just pulling out of my driveway.

I'll get it fixed, though. I'll knock down the pinch weld this week, and I ordered a Rusty's air tube so that I can get rid of the stock airbox, relocate my washer fluid bottle, and cut my bumpers, a la Calvin56's post:

I figure I may as well, since I've beaten the crap out of my bumper already, and I'll be replacing it with a RL bumper some time in the next few months.

That looks sweet !!!

Hey Troy- this looks great. I still need to pound down my pinch welds too - if you want to get together and work on yours and mine, let me know and we can figure something out.

It looks great with the MTRs on there - that's for sure. Just in time for Moab

Great idea--sent PM.


Oh, you just HAD to bring that up!

Yeah, I've had nothing but Moab on my mind for a few weeks now. I'm starting to annoy people.

Do you have a lift on that? I tried reading your sig but, I'm jeep slow. Looks great by the way.

Yeah, don't try to read my sig unless you have some time.

RRO Combo lift - 2.125" Works beautifully for a pre-lowered KJ. If I were lowered, I'd have gotten a Rusty's coil lift or Frankenlift.

Nice looking tires! Now we need to go up American Fork canyon again. Hopefully we won't witness the ATV carnage again.

I guess your spidertrax are what's causing the rub on your pinch weld. I only rub on the front bumper doors with my 245/75's.

Yup, I'm looking forward to it, as soon as it thaws.


No, it's my spacers. The tires rubbed very little before I put them on. No worries--I just need to cut away some useless plastic.
