The backspacing on these wheels is 3.75". I would go at least 32s if you plan to do the flat flares haha. When these tires wear out, which will be awhile hopefully, I will probably run 32" Goodyear MTRs. I do really like these KO2s though so far.

I really want 33s actually, but I will probably get in trouble with the lady. She specifically told me that she doesn't want this one turning into my green jeep (which I really want to run 1 tons and 40s). Something about saving up for a down payment on a house and such.

 

Another sweet thing about this jeep that I forgot to mention: it has the factory front end, transfer case, and gas tank skid plates.

 

Took the Jeep out for its first hunting trip the other day. No antelope, but plenty of prairie dogs at 60+ yards with the bow! Planning another hunting trip Thursday and Friday. The jeep is running and driving great.

 

There hasn't been a lot of progress on this jeep, I have been toying with selling it. If I don't sell it, I plan to put some JK take off shocks on, ditch the rear sway bar, put quick disconnects up front, and eventually a 1" spacer, new control arms and a new track bar.

I flushed the coolant about 5 times throughout a day a couple weeks ago, including flushing the heater core out. The stuff that came out of there was beyond nasty, I'm guessing the coolant was never changed by the PO. Good news is that the heater work 100000X better now.

Took the jeep on some more hunting adventures and bagged a nice mule deer buck and a cow elk. There will be no shortage of jerky and steaks around my house this year!

 

I really want to bump up to 32s already, but I'm going to hold off on that for a while. I need to do brakes soon and sway bar bushings up front. I may need to do hub/bearing assemblies soon too. If I do those, I will replace u-joints in the front axle at the same time.

Also still planning on bed lining the whole Jeep this winter. I still haven't decided on a color. My finalists are tan, olive drab, or dark grey. What does everyone else think about color?

 

Well, I threw some nice slotted/drilled rotors and ceramic pads on the front, put some new Rubicon take off shocks on, front and rear BPEs..... Then I sold it. I bought another diesel truck, and having 4 personal vehicles plus my work truck (which is pretty much all I drive) is completely unnecessary. This is the only one I could part with.

There will be another project in the future.....
