    My son and I were just talking about probably having to cut ours when the time comes to upgrade the tires... great detailed install video!

      +TrailRecon Oh cool and thanks! I'll be doing this procedure again to accommodate the 37's now. I'm going to try to get access to a buddy's table saw this time and make quick work of it.

      37's will be awesome! I've got to wear down my original set of tires before I can convince the wife I need to upgrade to 35's..... I need to go do some more burnouts or something! LOL

    Awesome!! I just installed some today that I got from a fellow Jeeper and the price was right. I noticed they were a bit long back there with my 35’s... you definitely went super geek mode. Great job. I will probably cut a few of those corners.

      Cleanest looking rock sliders ever. There are others that offer more protection but these are definitely the cleanest.

    • @TheNotaRubicon
      @TheNotaRubicon 6 лет назад +2

      JEEPARMY USA we think so too.. The NotaRubicon currently has some step sliders that stick too far out, and too far down.. we’re always getting hung up on them.. cant wait to change to something less giant and ‘rock catchee”

      Nice brother! That's a really good deal. If I could have done anything differently, I would have trimmed 2 inches vs 1 inch. It worked fine for 35's but now on 37's.

    • @HatedJared
      @HatedJared 9 лет назад +1

      +JeepArmy USA Did yours sit about 1/2" off the body? I'm assuming they are supposed to so they can flex a bit but I wasn't 100% sure.

    • @JeepArmyUSA
      @JeepArmyUSA  9 лет назад

      Yup, totally normal. When your in town pull up along side a parked Rubicon and you'll see.

    Nice video. I like your method of doing this. Well thought out. Do you think you needed the epoxy though? Did you trim enough that you won't ever have to do it again? Thanks for the video.

    • @JeepArmyUSA
      @JeepArmyUSA  6 лет назад

      Thank you! The epoxy was just to hold it in. I was afraid vibration would shake it loose. And yes I had to do it again with 37’s then again at 40’s.

    Did your end caps have plastic pins holding them in? Mine do and I think I have to drill them out to get the caps out.

    Do you have to trim if you have 35s?

  • @The_ClayDayz
    @The_ClayDayz 8 лет назад +1

    Since you have a lot of experience with your Jeep, I need some advice. If the Jk is going to be my daily driver and occasional off-road trails. I plan to add bigger tires and rock rails. What would you model would you recommend to purchase?

    • @wsigona
      @wsigona 8 лет назад

      Any Wrangler will be very good off road. The most import thing would be try and get a 2012 or newer with automatic and 4.10 gears. You will be able to run up to 35 inch tires with that combination. I personally wouldn't go over 33 inch tires unless you plan on extreme trails. I have the Rubicon but a careful driver in a sport can go anywhere a Rubicon can. My suggestion would be a four door, hard top automatic Willys Wheeler if you can find a good deal on one.

    • @The_ClayDayz
      @The_ClayDayz 8 лет назад

      Walter Sigona Thanks for replying. I got a 15' Rubi 2 months ago. Enjoying it so far. I don't have 4.10 gears though and plan to run 35s and do some light trails. Sounds like that may not be a good idea.

    • @wsigona
      @wsigona 8 лет назад

      My suggestion would be 285 75 17 or 295 70 17 tires. They are a 34 inch tires and would be ok with your 3.73 gears.

      ***** have you had any tires rub on the lower control arms, fenders, or edges of the bumper at full turn or flex? really on the fence about 35's, i also have 3.73 gears on my jk.

    • @JeepArmyUSA
      @JeepArmyUSA  8 лет назад +1

      +Rommel R Hey man! Thank you for watching. I'll have to take a look at that setup online. There are so many rail options out there now. What's the name of those rock guards? Are they the rocker knockers?

    • @3ryan13
      @3ryan13 8 лет назад

      JEEPARMY USA it seems like I have to put a body lift to place a rock rails bolted onto the body and a rocker knocker bolted onto the frame to create that space.

  • @mallkrawlerz620

    • @AStanton1966
      @AStanton1966 9 месяцев назад

      He said 10mm for the little ones and 1/2" for the bigger ones. I guessing you could also use 14mm or 15mm in place of the 1/2".

    Can the rails take the abuse?

    • @JeepArmyUSA
      @JeepArmyUSA  9 лет назад

      I believe so. They are definitely thick and heavy. I guess it depends on how bad the abuse is :)
