Clarifying Suspension Upgrade...
I think a 245/75r16 is more common among lifted KJ's....245/70r16 is barely bigger than stock- tlrtucker

'02 KJ Re-Commissioning
If you're getting a leak code it's always a good idea to check the rubber hoses going into and out of the emissions canister back by the fuel tank. It's a very common issue with KJ's to get a split in one or more of those hoses that cause people nightmares trying to track down. If it's a...- tlrtucker

Not sure what answer you're looking for. Seems like you just want us to all tell you to go get some Moabs.....- tlrtucker

Help with lift options
2 cans (about $10) did all 5 of my wheels. 1 dust coat, followed by 4 heavy heavy coats. Been through a dozen or so car washes, mud, heavy rains, heavy snows with tons of road salt and mag chloride, and they are holding up just fine. Starting to grey out a little, but still look good to me...- tlrtucker

Minimum offset with 8" rims?
Not true at all.... The stress of the wheel, no matter the backspace, is transferred 100% to the hub bearings. This "stress" doesn't transfer to the axles whatsoever, it's solely isolated to the hub bearing. Increasing rolling mass by adding heavy wheels and tires is what will put your...- tlrtucker

Newer style Moabs
Personally, I really liked these rims at first. Then a friend pointed out that they looked just like the new Subaru wheels and now I hate them. lol. Because 100% of everything coming out of China is crap? Some of the things you say really make me laugh. Not in a good way.- tlrtucker

Help with lift options
One thing to consider when going to steel wheels is the weight of the wheel. I'm still on stock wheels so I can't verify, but have heard several others claim a 2-3 mpg decrease after going to steel wheels. In other words, going with heavier tires and wheels will definitely be noticeable when...- tlrtucker

Don't waste your time. The "coffee" is as terrible as it is expensive. I pass 2 Starbucks every morning on my way to work to stop at the gas station for coffee that tastes 100x better. And much cheaper too.- tlrtucker

Replacing Rough Country 3" w/ 31x10.5x15 tires
You're only talking about a 1/4" difference. The wheels aren't the problem, it's your tires. The bigger the diameter of tire, the more rubbing you'll have at full turn. As stated before, many get away without any rubbing on a 3" lift and 245/75r16's. Guys that go bigger all have rubbing...- tlrtucker

Replacing Rough Country 3" w/ 31x10.5x15 tires
Don't go with an 8" wide wheel. They're too wide and dont look right, according to a lot of people. 16x7 is the ideal size, but some insist on going 15x7. They claim tires are cheaper...- tlrtucker
