Thanks! It was a blast to wheel both of them.

Thanks! Oh yeah, you can definitely fit 33's with 3.5" of lift. The orange XJ is running Bushwacker flat flares with no additional trimming with 34's (with proper bumpstops) and no rubbing!

Nice Jeep man... although, the idea of this thread is for you to post it on level ground.

I off-roaded them hard this week over Devil's Punchbowl and Pearl Pass both near Crested Butte,CO.
They did awesome! They seem very durable and capable. They do slip a bit on slick granite faces as they are not very siped.
