Umm... ok the ignorant comments on U tube go both ways...
Im not trying to flame but, im a TJ guy and i may be a JK guy also one day i think there are things that they are both better at then the other i dont find the JK to be as SUperrior as some of the posters said and i dont find the TJ to be quite that outdated.
I have wheeled with a JK on Drummond Island and we spent half the day puttign his junk back together. Im sure the same could have happened with a equallay equiped TJ but not the point
My point is we are all Jeepers, this reminds me of when the First Rubys came out and every one that bought one looked down on anyone that didnt have factory 44's. So quit the arguing and lets go wheeling
oh and by the way i love this jeep Kyoseki

Budget Boost I suspect (a relatively cheap 2.5" lift).

BoneDigger is now my own personal hero!!! 
 Thats a dam nice rig dude. 
My Rescue Green Sahara is ordered and one day if it eats all its veggies maybe it can be as cool as yours... but alas I doubt it 
Do you plan on using this as purely off road or mostly DD or what???
How does it ride/ handle with that much lift?
Can you still use overdrive?
Seem to have decent power?
All and all are you glad that you went 4"?
Most of all I just wanted to say 
YOU DA MAN!!!

I am planning on using it 75% daily driver and 25% offroad
as for the ride it is one of the best riding jeeps I have ever had
I have no problem using 6th gear at all I can't tell much differance between the stock tires and the new ones
It has plenty of power at 70mph on the freeway I was actually surprised by it but I has more power at that speed than my tj did with 35"s
yes I am very happy that I wentfor the 4" teraflex lift

Nice looking rides.
I like how the larger tires (35+) dont really look huge on the new JKs.
IMHO ~37s look proportionate on the JKs and about 33s look right on the old TJs. Mmmmm

Bonedigger and JeffMarion great looking rigs. Thats the exact same setup I'm planning on when I upgrade to the JK. Did you guys have to do any fender trimming?

I had to trim the rear quarter panels and rocker guards, still need to clean it up a little more now that I have the tires on.
Also had to trim some on the front air dam

Sweet! Funny thing is, exept for the spray on the sides, that could almost pass for a sandy beach in Pensacola Beach.

my lift came with adjustable control arms so I didn't have to trim any thing in the rear wheel well it has plenty of clearance(as much as stock) the front air dam needed triming and the front bumper is shimmed about 1/2" but still rubs when backing up to the left so I am going to shim it more until I get a new bumper I don't know which bumper I am going to go with yet but that will be later
oh yeah one more thing the weight of my tires was to much for the stock tire carrier it started to break so I had to take it off for now until my new tire carrier comes

Did you regear for the larger tires? If not, how bad is the performance?
