I love STT Pros. I had them on my old WJ and they were great. Can't wait to see them on your rig

Yep, this will look bad ass! I'm probably the only one thinking this, but the old school white wall letters might be kind of sweet on your WJ. Completely different. Just throwing it out there. 
Either way, that's a sweet set up!

You're not, I think that would look killer!

Thanks guys. I really like them as well. They're a damn good looking tire.

Lol. I've never liked white letters out, but I will consider the idea. I'll have to keep looking at them to see.
33s. 295/70R17 technically, which is a 33.2 with no weight on it.
I wish 37s for the ground clearance. 37s on a WJ look like way too much IMO. Even with the proper lift which is like 6.5 inches, I think 37s are just too much on a WJ. 35s don't look too bad though. I could have fit 35s, but I would have pounded in part of the body for steering clearance, and it's just asking for a D30 break.

here's my old WJ with the white letters if that helps you see what it might look like

Worked on my fender flares tonight. Just got one wheel done . Way more steps than I anticipated. I'm glad I did a lot of cutting the other day to get a head start. I think tomorrow will bring more progress as I'm familiar with all the steps now. I opted to do the rear wheels first because there is way more work involved. Just wanted to get it out of the way. I love how they look though. They fit perfectly. Bushwacker did a damn good job designing these things.

That actually doesn't look too bad. I still think I prefer the black letters out though. We'll see.

These Coops are badass. Great traction & quiet too. Mine are wearing really well so far. I've got 'bout 5000 miles on mine after my ill-fated trip out West and tread is hardly worn.
Those flares are nice. I gotta say, whites out may be the way to go. I'm diggin how they pop against the Patriot Blue man.

Thanks guys. This part of the build should complete the exterior of the Jeep. Hoping to get some more time this afternoon to work on it.

Nice!! Installing Bushwackers are a pain in the ass but they do look good especially on a WJ.

Thanks. They really are a lot of work. I've watched the install video several times over the last year and thought I had it all down. Nope! But once they're on, they are incredibly sturdy too. I was really surprised how stout they are once all the various fasteners are in.

Your WJ is really looking good man! No turning back now with those BW's. Just wondering how durable they are. I know you said they are really solidly attached, but what if they take a direct hit on a rock? Is the plastic at all repairable? Have you thought about having a spare set, say for replacing one in a few years if they discontinued these? Also, what is the goop that is applied with the heat gun? Is it sealer or glue? That is definitely a no turn-back job. Looks really stout though. Looking forward to seeing it finished!! [emoji106]

Thanks. The way they are molded and fastened, they are strong! As far as a direct hit on a rock, hard to say. Not sure if it is repairable. I haven't thought of a spare set, but not a bad idea. Truthfully, the type of wheeling I do is very light, I don't see rocks being an issue in that area. The glue could be anything of your choice, I used FlexSeal in a can because it's quick and easy and flows into all the cracks. The heat gun just speeds up the drying time. Mostly what the heat gun is for, is to re-mold your inner wheel well covers. I removed those a long time ago during prior trimming, so I don't even have to worry about them. I didn't even use a heat gun.

Very nice! I asked about replacements because of what happened to my stepbrother. He has a Samurai with some really cool fender flares that are riveted on. One of them took a hit and now needs some help. Unfortunately, they are discontinued now.
