I’ll be in Estes Park right before the 4th of July if you’re interested in giving Holy Cross or other places a go. Looks like we have Jeeps that have similar capability.

Would love to. Does Holy Cross open that early? I was thinking with its elevation, that it would be later July.

Honestly, you would know better than me. But if you want to get out for the day (anywhere in northern co or on the 70 corridor) let me know. If interested PM me and we can work out details.

Well, here she is. The WJ on only 4 inches of lift with 35s. Exact size is 315/70R17. For those of you who follow the build, the difference may not be noticeable in the pictures, but up close it definitely is. I'm really happy that I went ahead and went to this size. No rubbing, but damn is it close in the front.

Here's the rear clearance. Axle swings rearward, so no worries.

And here's the fronts. Fully turned, there's less than a half inch between the rear of the tires and the wheel wells. Luckily the front axle swings forward and no rubbing heard on the way home.
