Taught myself how to paint correct with a DA polisher today. Picked one up from harbor freight over the weekend. I took the hood off, did a two step correction, and then ceramic coated it. I think it came out pretty good for 21 year old paint. You can see how dull it was before in the second...

I think I’ve decided to go with these from Ion Alloy (174s) Does anyone here have these wheels that could share some photos? I have a khaki TJ and think these look good with that color. What do you all think?

Good idea. I just assumed you couldn’t change the bolt heads. If I can get them in silver then this will be the wheel for me.

Looks great. Why 8” over 10” in your opinion?

Those all look really good, especially pictures 1 and 3, the dark blue and red one. What size tires are on those? And are they 15x8 or 15x10? Also, every Mammoth wheel you just posted looks like the simulated bead lock is bright and silver. But every picture of these wheels I see elsewhere, it...

Chris, thanks for the information and quick reply. In your recipe for an affordable lift, you list only Rancho shocks. Are those the best? Better than the Fox or Nitro ones I listed above? I know it's surface level, but I absolutely hate the white and red look of those shocks. Just looks cheap...

Hey all! Last week I bought a 2004 Sahara 5 speed from the original owner with 113k miles. This is my first Jeep and it will be used as a daily driver for the most part. It's 100% factory right now and other than a modest lift and slightly larger tires, I plan to keep it that way. I've spent a...
