I'm trying to decide on the following:

Should I go with:

(1) Four Black Rock Alloy Wheels, with other misc items





And Husky Floor Mats Front/Rear/Cargo area.

or go with:

(2) Four Black Rock Steelies and the ARB Snorkel ONLY





Bottom line not enough $$ now for both the Alloy Wheels with ARB Snorkel.

 

i would go with the second option. black rims look like black rims to me and you can use your gas petal, so snorkel it is. .. thats what i would do.

 

uuhh man those first rims look so good tho.get the rock alloys and save for the snorkel u will always want the alloys get what u want.

 

#2 for sure. I hate denting alloy's!!!!! i always go steel now so I have $$$ left over and when i ruin a wheel its not quite as bad

 

x2 on the steelies. cheaper plus if they get bent, you can hammer them back out. and if they get scratched, just spray paint em. just my 2 cents.

 

go with choice 2

 

i would buy steel unless you are buildin a looks only jeep go with the alloys

 

The alloy would be for DD, and I would keep my old already bent wheels for wheeling, just a PIA to swap them out everytime.

I'm thinking option #2. Thanks for the input.

 

#1 for sure IMO, because you can cut unsprung weight down with the alloys. You will love the husky liners, best upgrade for the buck if your in mud, snow, or dirty conditions and plan to use your XJ, keeps the water out of your carpet too so no foggy windows or stink. Plus the hand throttle is what those other parts are for is my guess, funny because I just installed a hand throttle on my CJ, but I used an old bike break lever and clamped it to my shifter.

Steel wheels are just that steel an old technology, but useful in its realm like off road, but you can wheel with alloys just fine, plenty of people do you just cant bounce off rocks as much. And a snorkel, seriously I don't understand those things. If I'm that deep in water most of my electrical components are as well and those don't mix well. Plus I don't want that dirty water in my rig.

 

Dangit .05&.10, I had my mind made up until you came along.....

I like the alloys....

 

Mac, what do you need a snorkel for other than to make your rig look cool? By the time you get water in your air intake where it is now, your alternator, distributor and coil are submerged. Those rims are SWEET!!! You must get them.
