Northridge is great.  Also check out Modern and National locally.  US vendors may also be viable with the dollar as it is.

x2 for LemonAid Jay -he is great for anything you can't do yourself.

You know it is funny, I have never taken anything to LemonAid J but I still recomemded him, due to all the positive feedback I have seen on this site.  If I ever find something I don't want to do I will take my jeep to him.  As a matter of fact I will take the wifes car to him when it comes to doing the spark plugs, I have no interest in pulling the intake manifold to change plugs...... Imports suck!!!!

I'll add another vote for Lemon-Aid Jay. He does great work, and fabs great bumpers!

I've also had good luck at Northridge 4X4. I ordered a few small parts on Monday morning...they got delivered on Tuesday morning.  :o

I MIGHT have a set of five 35 x 12.5 KM2's on cheap steelies coming up for sale.  Maybe with 1.5 spacers too.

yeah, it'd be 5 on 5.  But 4 of them.  When I've got new stuff on the way I'll throw a post up in the For Sale section.

You could always cancel your order.... just sayin.

Nah. I had already dropped my rig off.

They're on there now. 4 door JK's should have come from the factory with 35's  ;)

I'll get on 'er, Johnny. The problem is that those 35's stick out jist a smidge, and a picture right now would just show you a big square block of frozen slush. I'll wait until things thaw a bit.

Can't remember if you got it lifted at all, but watch out when you flex or you might start breaking fender clips loose.

I do have a lift - OME coils. I've got bumpstop extensions up front that should have me in good shape there, and will have them in the back as soon as I can find time to get over to Jay and pick them up. I planned the lift/tires combo out pretty carefully  ;)

I know that, don't make me hunt you down. A guy at work (with '08 Sahara) was thinking about widening his stance... I think I may have convinced him to spend more money on a lift and tires. We'll see.
