Even though
I have a Full Traction 4" Ultimate suspension lift on my Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited, I found that my 37x13.50 Toyo M/T's were still causing some minor rubbing of the fenders at a full stuff. Of course, having a heavy PUREJEEP bumper with WARN PowerPlant winch up front and an extremely heavy PUREJEEP rear bumper tire carrier on the rear didn't do a whole lot to keep my Jeep sitting at 4" of lift. Needless to say, all I really needed to eliminate the rubbing I had was about an inch of clearance between my tires and fenders and that's why I decided to install a 1" body lift from Mountain Off-Road Enterprises or M.O.R.E. for short.

One of the nicest features of the Jeep JK Wrangler is that it was essentially designed to sit on 35" tires. At least, if you've ever seen a JK on 35's, you almost have to wonder why they didn't just come like that from the factory. However, in order to get your Jeep JK Wrangler to clear 35" tires on the trail without any rubbing or other issues, you will need to get it sitting on at least 3"-4" of lift. While there are multiple ways to get you to this height, a true suspension lift (i.e. new taller coils and components to match) is what I would recommend and thanks to Rough Country Suspension Systems, you can do this upgrade for about $575 and a few hours out of your day.

Looking for a way to optimize your Jeep JK Wrangler's 3.8L V6 engine performance? How about calibrate its speedometer/odometer to match a set of new gears and/or bigger tires that you've just installed? If so, the Hypertech Max Energy Power Programmer is exactly what you're going to need.

When it comes to off-road performance shocks, few companies have the history and outstanding reputation that Rancho has been able to create for itself over the last 50 years. Needless to say, when it came time for me to start looking for a new set of extended shocks to go with the 4.5" of lift that I now have on my Jeep JK Wrangler, Rancho was the first company I turned to for help.

I have always been a fan of the factory scissor jack that comes standard with a Jeep JK Wrangler as it is compact, easy to use, much more practical and safer to use than a Hi-Lift Jack for changing tires and, as if it needs to be mentioned, stores away nicely and out of sight when not in use. Of course, the biggest drawback to the factory scissor jack is that they are only designed to lift a stock height to a mildly lifted Jeep just high enough to allow you to change your tire. Unfortunately, once you get your Jeep sitting on a 3"-4" lift and on 35"-37" tires, the factory scissor jack essentially becomes useless. Needless to say, that's why I bought me an AEV JK Jack Base.

Although the application of vinyl decals is pretty straight forward and easy to do, getting them on right, positioned correctly and without any wrinkles or bubbles the first time around can be somewhat tricky. That is, unless you know how to do it right. Granted, I have no doubts that there are a plethora of different ways to apply decals, but this method has always worked for me and the easy to follow step by step instructions below should help you get yours on without any fuss. Of course, this write-up is for the application of the Project-JK logo decal, it will also work for any decal that you apply on your Jeep JK Wrangler.
