Amen, brother. You can't buy sense like that. Have to be born with it
😂😂😂😂😂 both of these comments are gold. Y’all are a different breed
@@franklinthompson9487 I’m built different.
You ain't the only person on the planet who likes the look of stock wheels - I love them! Wouldn't buy aftermarket wheels for nothin!
It takes a special breed to be as cultured as we are ;-)
This is why I love D&E!
Okie Doke . . . that's it. subbed. You're my kind of over-doer. Just remember, when you're over-doin something, over-do it as simply as possible. Cheers from Alaska.
I think I'd prefer it with a lift, just enough to make the clearance on the bumper. I have an aversion to cutting fenders and bumpers, but that's just me.
I have some 3" lift pucks in the garage. I am considering putting them in the rear and finding some 2" HD springs for the front. I kind of want to see what it would look like with a bit of a rake
I wonderf I how that might work. Glad I found your stuff again. My phone went down and I lost you boys for a while. Hope all is good up yonder
We missed you bud! Hope your phone is operational again.
It looks killer love it I will lift mine in near future will like to run a 34 or 33 but slim tire not a 12.50
I put 19' Wrangler take-offs(245/45/17 i believe) and lifted it 3"..just the basic puck lift deal on my 02 wj..alignment was spot on, speedo is 5 slow at 60 mph. Found a set of overland factory rock sliders at a u-pull and it doesnt even look lifted anymore, just seems right.
Mine stock was the 16in wheels. I bought 17s of of a ‘12 wrangler. No spacers. Did have to do some adjustments on my control arms to fix the camber. But other than that it was a very nice difference in ride
For about two months was riding 265/75/16 on stock with spacers. (Hot wheels bulldog, two of my childhood favorites) after a few paychecks got lifted, rubs to this day on full radius, Michigan just can't let go of those fog lights!!!
A little rub never hurt anybody, right??
When I put 33s on my ZJ I had to clearance the front floor boards with a 10 lb sledgehammer
That is the way to do it! Smack it until it fits!
Beat to fit and paint to match LOL!
These rims are beautiful.. gotta get you some jeep center caps for em ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It is on the old to-do list for aure
Pucks plus 2 inch wheel spacers. WIN!!!
I kind of like it and that's coming from an Old Goober who tends to lean toward "Stock Size Tires and Wheels Are Best". Please bear in mind I don't, and never have lived in your area, so I bow to your needs and/or desires when it comes to what works for you and your Jeeps. This video did explain something I saw just last week that made me think, at the time, that I was having a "senior moment" when I noticed a Jeep WJ (either a 1999 or 2000 model) with a NC tag on it in our local Wally World parking lot. That WJ also had RAM wheels on it, identical to the factory wheels on our 2014 RAM 1500 4X4 pickup, and belonged to newlyweds on their way to Myrtle Beach for their honeymoon (yes in January.....I don't know why.....It was none of my business) ahead of a cold front that brought the Carolinas some snow, ice, and freezing rain. Those young folks were from Boone, NC where, by Carolina standards, they got a LOT of snow by comparison. The husband explained that the RAM wheels and tires were his winter weather set and that he had mounted them ahead of the wedding in anticipation of their trip to Myrtle Beach.
I put 3" lift on my WJ, with 1.25" spacers, running 33x10.5R17 on Rubicon rims.
I did a lot of front fender trimming and did the rear fender pi-cuts.
I also had to do the wj to zj wiper reservoir relocation and have the inner fender liners removed on the front.
Yo can you show me 😂 would be so greatful
Looks good!
I have 2457516 on my WJ and no rubbing and it looks good.
No lift??
I'm running 265/70/17 on stock JK 5 spokes with a 3" lift and no rub anywhere even flexing it out off road. Couldn't be happier with this setup.
in my most humble of opinions, 3" lift and 32's is the perfect look for an on road/off road WJ
@@DEInTheGarage I agree, couldn't be happier with it as a daily/weekend toy rig. I lifted it to take my 4yr old offroading and he loves it!
This is exactly what I was hopping to do. Getting take offs from JKs and gladiators is a cheap ish way to get the right size and an 3 inch lift can still use standard short arms which you can get adjustable ones much cheaper and easier than fabricating (or paying for labor) a long arm system.
@@user-fe2lr5jw4i I got 4 rims with decent tires, they were the stock Goodyear SR/As which are garbage, for $50. JK guys pull off the stock wheels and forget they even had them, this guy had already sold his jeep long ago and just wanted them gone.
I think it looks good, but a budget boost and some fender flares would be perfect!
AMEN!
👍 I had 32s on a stock height XJ with trimmed front fenders. Looked awesome. I like those dodge wheels. Willy looks neglected sitting there.
Willy is horribly neglected. It has reach "ultimate shame" mode... If nothing happens with him this summer I am going to have to sell him. Anyway... I believe I have seen a picture of your old XJ and MAN was she a looker!
@@DEInTheGarage I think willy would like it down here in KY haha
I have 04 wj with 2.5 steel spring spacers in front and 2 in steel spacers in rear
With kyb shocks rancho steering stabilizer
Have front bumper cover removed , washer bottle removed some trimming only on front both sides
Running 14 rubicon wheels with 285 70 17 goodyear transform at2
Have locker in front . And use in serious off road situations to access off grid homestead so not mall.crawling... very minimum rubbing . But if aggressive tread would need to do some trimming to ftont rear side but definitely doable
Looks good
Thanks!
You mentioned you plow snow with your WJ, when you lift the plow off the ground will the weight of the plow cause you any problems? I know when I used to plow using a F150 and lifted the plow it pulled the frontend down some. Just wondering.
I love it kinda looks like my jeep
Please tell us you torqued those lugs on the spacer and wheels carry on
My jeep makes that same ticking that yours made at 5:30, is that a major issue or just the common and harmless 4.0 tick?
Whatcha know about those Bushwhacker fender flares? Will they eliminate that front tire rub?
Look at this Purdy Boy with the well trimmed beard.... I had no doubts that it work out with the bigger rims and tires
Haha.. Thanks bud!
So what size spacers do I need to run this tire? 2” good?
Like.. a...glove, lol. Buddy of mine installed 32s with a 2 inch budge boost from RC, actually road pretty good.
That was probably the perfect look, yea? I am going to need add some lift at some point
@@DEInTheGarage If you go to my channel I have a few videos of him wheeling it. He did just install Rough Country long arm kits for the WJ and it rides really, really nice.
I got a 3 inch lift on my 01 wj will 285/75/16 fit? Mud tires
'self clearance'..I like it
Ive always wanted to put 35's on a stock jeep, now that i have a 96 cherokee, i dont really want to put that much on a stock XJ. So ill keep mine with the standard issue XJ tire size
At the most basic level... with enough cutoff wheels and big enough brass ones there shouldnt be any size tire that is "too big"... in theory...
How are the Raybestos rotors doing?
275 65/18 on rubi rims, the only problem I have is the complements box is always full.
Looks fine to me, especially if you roll the fenders.
I think i just might do that to get a bit more clearance
All yall with decent wj's count your lucky stars. I've spent the better part of a year looking for a reasonably priced one within 500 miles of home and have yet to see anything worth jumping on. To say I'm envious would be an understatement. Guess I'll just have to settle for admiring them when they pass by.
I almost sold mine for $500 with 183k miles. Same color and look as the video one. Plan was to get a 2004 Laredo At dealer for $5000 (130k miles) but I ended up just keeping JW and spend $3500 to give it life with cool upgrades
"You don't need no safty" famous words of a crazy Canadian.
idk about these issues. i just cut the shit out of my bumper to make clearance. didnt even have to beat the firewall in. i can do a U turn in a smaller radius now thanks to horsepowar
I don’t know I think a bulldog on a skateboard is actually pretty cool 😎. especially when they look like they are having fun.
Teasing me on both channels with that Dakoter... just sayin
How much of a spacer do you think I would need on a 2 inch lift with 255/75/17 jk rims ? To clear the control arm
I have that on my stock wk and I didn't need a lift I am putting one in though but it rides fine on the road
If you look really closely that back passenger tire had some topsy-turvy to it or wiggle or Shake whatever you prefer
I will have to check that out
Yes for sure because we got to stay safe and your one of the good ones so I will try to help when I can stay safe and have a good day
Quick question. Does the burgundy beast have up country suspension? If it doesn't maybe try up country shocks. The up country style will give you 3/4 to 1" lift without getting rid of that stock look.
Funny you mention that! I have been looking form some UC springs and shocks. That is really all I want.. 1-1.5"
@@DEInTheGarage monroe reflex are UC and reasonably priced at 56 bucks a piece but they can be kind of hard to find. I just ordered a set off Amazon for my 04 laredo since it's got factory shocks with 240k on them haha. They worked wonders on my 01 limited
I just threw some jk 255/75/r17 on my stock wj and it only rubs when turning in reverse. It looks a lot better than the stock wheels but the mileage is definitely worse
Meh… sounds like SMILES per gallon is way up!
Just let it self Clarance Douglas.👍👍😁👌
I'd think non I have 31s on 21 inch rim stock lift
"If you don't like that, Screw you!" - Doug 2022
Put that one on a t-shirt because ya'll are going to be hearing it a LOT more. 2022 is going to be the year of "screw that, i'mma do what I want!"
Dude what happened to your beard ? That thing was great you looked like one of the boys of ZZ Top its really sad to see it gone
How much 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited I started over 245s then I went to $255 then I went to 265 now I have 285 on there and I had to grind piece that comes out the body about an inch and a quarter and it works and I have a 4-in left on it looks awesome wish I could send you pictures
WK What is the max tire size for WK 2005 grand Cherokee 2” inch lift, any idea? The WK has this standing seam pinch weld in the front wheel well that looks like larger tire sizes are not going to work without the seam modification.
265/70r16 can also fit with no spacers
I like most of Jeep rims...
Hear me now: plowing snow, pulling stumps and towing trailers. You don’t have close to enough clearance. I want to see this after 100 miles your usage. 😂😂
I ran those tires down to the cords bud. Did everything I asked with zero drama. Sometimes you just gotta send it ;-)
@@DEInTheGarage from a life long Cherokee owner I can’t believe it didn’t drive you nuts
Did you spacer front and rear? Thankx
Yes. 1.5" front and rear
🤣 my 245/70R16's rub and that's with steel wheels with 4" backspace🤣 but they only rub going backwards at max steer🤣 in planning on a steel winch bumper which will solve my problems.
You don't need a fancy-dancy socket to take the spacer off to change a blown-out pad you just take the caliper off, you know that you silly goose 😜
DUDE THEM ROTORS LOOKS ATE UP ...
Might be 😂 they have a season or two left on ‘em
Have you or any of you other WJ nutts ever noticed how many of these are still out there on the road? I was noticing the other day and Everytime im out I meet four or five. Jeep must have got it right when they made these old girls
They made a TON of these things, but the WJ is today where the XJ was 10 years ago. You aren’t the only one realizing they are a good, abundant, inexpensive way to get in to Jeeping. I worry my $2000 WJs will be going for $6,000 like some XJs in a few years
That barely fit what do you think a 285/70/17 would do ?
That wide is going to rub on the lower control arms and maybe some of the inner fender. I'd still run 'em though. Wheel spacer could help
@@DEInTheGarage I wish I could have thank you sooner for your response but TH-cam doesn’t notify me anymore and these videos get lost in my infinite playlist but thank you 🙏 tho!
Well a little big for my liking but no one can ever tell you that you don't hit the sides. 😂😂 If you know what I mean. Enjoy
HAHA... I see what you did there.
Spare?
I am still working on that. For now I have a can of tire sealer, a patch kit, and I say a prayer everytime I get in. Given the size my choices are: roof, make another rear tire carrier, or lose my whole cargo area. I am not inclined toward any of those options so far
@@DEInTheGarage I was able to shoe-horn a 245/75/17 in the factory location after massaging the spare well with a 5lb sledge. A 265/70/17 is only 1/4" larger on paper, so you might try this.
He says more backspacing is needed- he means less.
Hubcentric anyone????
So all said it's a fail
Holy fk when did he cut the beard
There's not nearly as much rubbin as you'd find on a Jeffrey Toobin Zoom call, so I guess you're OK?
Well bud.. I aint touching that one. HAHA
What happened to the beard?!
Commies stole it, but it’ll be back in the picture before you can say “god bless American”
Spacers are not safe though.
Got 85k on the same set of 35” tires.
@@larryfogle3697 but did you have wheel spacers?
They are if you use them properly, buy the right ones, and are aware of their limitations. Most of my vehicles run spacers because I like stock wheels with wide tires. I have never had an issue related to the spacers
@@DEInTheGarage they put a lot of extra strain on the outside wheel bearing and cause extremely uneven wear. There is a reason they are illegal in pretty much every country on the planet except America!
@@officialWWM still have them, 3 1/3”
Brah if you got you room, get an unpainted bumper to gut put the nice pretty one in the closet? Man, I wound up keeping mine and regretted every prior abuse.
man just buy a lift 😂
Man or girly-man?
