New lcas still rub . Gunna have to buy spacers. Spidertrax are considered the best right? Any other cheaper ones that you guys trust?

If your going to buy wheel spacers for both front and back...for the cost you can buy a set of steel d-windows with enough backspacing to not have any rubbing issues....from jegs.com
That's where I got mine for my comanche and they were $200 shipped...15x8 with 3.75 backspacing

Rusty's sells a set of lower arms that are designed to rub bigger tires with stock backspacing. Spacers are fine though, but new wheels are also cool!

My dad found a good deal on a rack so we picked that up. Wanted to mount my spare up there so some modifying had to be done. We used the tire carrier thing off of a liberty to hold the tire then secured that to the rack








I think it is angled too much and sits too far off the rack but my dad insists it will look good. Guess we will find out

Anyone know if this radio will work in the jeep? The double din i installed is kinda junk. some guy owned my dad money so he gave it to us for free. I guess thats why my dad agrees that its kinda ****ty. Idk maybe we havent quite figured out how to work it or set it up correctly . But anyway i know the jk radio that looks the same as this one will not work because it is high speed but this radio is low speed but looks the same and operates the same im guessin. We used to have a jk and i really liked the factory radio believe it or not aha

Roof rack is all installed and looks great. I need to get another spare though this tire is temporary. The way the tire holder is mounted is a little to far back and a 31 a/t wont fit so ill probly get a 30. Anyway here it is all cleaned
