[White WK Swagga]

Love IT!!! What color tails did ou have tinted? Hows the ride with the srt wheels?

[Robert Palmer]

My God! :eek: :thumbsup:

[Megatron]

NICE! i hope you enjoyed the pics from my pic message too lmao

[QBNKID]

Niiiiiice.....!
Congrats bro, jeep looks amazing with the new mods.

[Bslagle05]

I had the clear LED's tinted... People have tested them and say they look the best when tinted dark... They are as black as can be and the light transfer is awesome!

The wheels ride awesome! I can tell its definitely a smooher ride... I don't feel the bumps as much as I used to... I am soo happy with how everything turned out. The toyo proxes look mean as shit too! I love em!

[White WK Swagga]

Fawk this dent just cost me my LED tails, dual turn signal, Black Vinyl Pillars and roof. I need to set my truck up fot the srt's or vipers (Holds Breath) nest summer...

[White WK Swagga]

Looks awesome bro!!! Did you wire them yourself? Does the whole light blink with the turn signal?

[Bslagle05]

With the 05's it is a direct hook up so no wiring was needed... The whole light lights up when you apply the brakes and only the bottom half blinks when you have the blinker on

[White WK Swagga]

Nice, I think I'll go clear too... I bet no hint or red lense showing during the day. Did you get it from the GB?

[Bslagle05]

Ya I got them from the group buy and your right there is NO hint of red showing in the sunlight... these babies are pure black! but light transfer is still really good!

[White WK Swagga]

Nice. Thats the look I'm going for. Just minus the silver... LOL

[tman4024]

Ow Ow Blake, the Jeep is lookin good! :thumbsup:

[mjl2610]

Very nice addition to the Jeep!

[Scottina06]

Looks awesome Blake! Nice choices you made there buddy!

[dreamer1213]

WOWOOWOWOW Blake!!!! That looks bloody fantastic!! Those 2 mods just took your Jeep to a whole new level!!! I do like the tires!! :D Great choice, or both wheels and tires, and tails and tint...

[LTrainGC]

Seeing that makes me very excited to get my LED tails back from Daniel. I am only getting medium-dark though.

Looks AWESOME!

[LTrainGC]

On a side note - you should get some Stillen cross-drilled rotors - they would look sick with the new wheels.

Seeing that makes me want to get some SRT wheels!

[Travisl23]

Looks great!!

[Matt]

Looks sick Blake! Congrats buddy!!

[Scottina06]

so Blake....hows the handling now? LOL

[Bslagle05]

Thanks everyone for the comments... I am sooo happy with them. I do want to get new brakes. I think that would just top it off. After everything I just put on today, I'm gonna be a little low on cash for a while though. My next mod will either be brakes or the Mopar Body Kit.

Scott- Handling is much better. I can tell the ride is alot smoother... I haven't really taken any hard corners yet though to really test it. I'm babying her right now :)

[Bslagle05]

Looks sick Blake! Congrats buddy!!

Matt its your turn for some SRT reps!! Gotta represent for the silver!! :)

[Bslagle05]

Looks really sick dude, great work.

Thanks bro.. I appreciate it

[Chaoul1]

Looks 110% better! Good job. And the tails look great also!

[NHWK05]

Hate you.:D

[blackpepper]

Looks great Blake! Looks like you had a good time at the shop, unlike every other customer there b/c they didn't get repos :D

[Bslagle05]

ya the place I got them put on at is awesome. They just opened up a few monthes ago and they do awesome work. They do everything from oil changes to wheels and tires to turbo installs to body and paint repair. While they installed my wheels, I sat in the garage with them and bullshitted around and stuff.

However, when I first pulled up he was taking down my information and he looked at the Jeep and goes "What kinda Jeep is that again, a Compass?" :eek: I go no its a Grand Cherokee. He goes does it have the 3.7L? I go no it has a 5.7L HEMI and hes like o haha

That's hot! You now have a sexy beast!

[Bslagle05]

That's hot! You now have a sexy beast!

Thanks man I appreciate it! Next up: Mopar Body Kit!!

[S.O.T.I.]

OOOOOOOOH! I like that on the WK almost as much as the SRT kit.

[Bslagle05]

Ya I only like the body kit if you have bigger rims. So now its time for the body kit!

[Scottina06]

...ermm......some Eibachs...h&r's........lol

[Megatron]

Blake sir lets tint them windshields! if you do it, ill do it! lolol

[Bslagle05]

...ermm......some Eibachs...h&r's........lol

You would do that before the body kit scott??

[Bslagle05]

Blake sir lets tint them windshields! if you do it, ill do it! lolol

I really wanna do 5% all around with a 50% windshield tint

[Megatron]

I really wanna do 5% all around with a 50% windshield tint

[Bslagle05]

Thanks bro!

[S.O.T.I.]

I would address stance before body kit if it were my truck.

[Scottina06]

I would buy what i could afford or find first.....

[Bslagle05]

How much for eibachs or HRs installed? rough estimate

[Scottina06]

$250-300 for sprinsg and $200 to install. I have a DIY if you have tools

[Scottina06]

yuo need the srt/addco front/rear sways too.....LOL



it never ends Blake----

[S.O.T.I.]

Please guys! With a few exceptions, there is nothing so satisfying as modding your vehicle yourself. Unless you have no time, or no possible area to work in(both of which I understand), it binds you so much more with your ride when you know you've done a significant amount of work to it yourself. Major paint jobs and complete engine rebuilds, I know should be left to professionals, but most mods are DIY jobs. I don't know everything, but I am ready, willing and able to lend a hand, or advice on anything I do know about.

[Bslagle05]

After driving with the SRT reps and the Toyo Proxes for a few days I have to say the handling and ride quality is soooo much better. The Jeep rides soo much smoother and takes turns so easily! I absolutely love these Toyo Proxes!!!

[LO.7]

x2. Toyo Proxes FTMFW!!!

[Bslagle05]

do you have the STII's?? I like the tread pattern of the ST's better but I couldn't find any since they were discontinued

[TimmyB]

IMO a waste of money that could be put towards other mods. I've stared and stared at my set-up, and what does it I think is the red calipers. The rotors just blend in back there. If they were brand new just put on not used it would look good, but after a month of use it would end up looking like stock rotors anyways. Im not an expert on brakes or anything at all, but i've talked to some shops and they all say just go oem. When you start drilling and slotting they said thats when they warp. There's a guy on ebay selling all 4 rotors with pads for under 200 shipped, i'd get those and just high temp paint the outer edges and inside face around the lugs black or silver to help out with rusting issues.

[LO.7]

I think I have the ST's. They aren't the new one's that just came out.

[B.P.O.D]

truck looks awesome blake!!!!! man that is def my #1 mod for next summer!!! tails look sick too!!!!

[w87will]

Wheels and tinted tails are the best mods. They look awesome on your jeep too! Congrats.

Proxes St's FTW :) Yours are nice too though

you got a pic of the ST's installed on your Jeep?? i absolutely love that tread pattern and looked and called places for hours and noone had any in stock. So i settled and got the S/TII's. I had the S/T's ordered and the company called me back 5 days later saying they don't even have them in stock

[w87will]

Here is an older picture http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/w87will/NewWheels020-2.jpg

I hope they didn't discontinue them completely! If I ever need new tires again I was planning on buying another set of these!

[B.P.O.D]

^^^ that pattern does look nice!!!

I was told they were discontinued and they completely stopped making them but I also heard they were just on back order for 4-6 weeks... I'm not real sure but I think they are done making them for good. STII's are good tires too I just liked that tread pattern better

[Scottina06]

I'm not sure if they are available in the right sizes....but there are mmany tires with a similar tread pattern. I know Kumho, nexen, goodyear and a few others make tires with a similar tread pattern

[NHWK05]

Goodyear Fortera Tripple Tread. Rates TONS better then the fortera HL and its available in many different sizes and its a good year round tire thats still good in snow.

here is the stock size.

A little price but my friends mom has them on a v8 ZJ and loves them.

They still list the proxes tires on their site too.

EDIT, read article, ST II is a replacement for the st.

Damn that is nice. Love the tails, if I had a WK I'd do the same thing. Question how are the Toyo Proxes ST II? I'm thinking about going with this combo if I ever get SRT repros myself. Thanks for sharing.

[NHWK05]

Ive read that the ST II is a great all season tire, not amazing in winter but not horrible either. Very quiet on road (the st was loud apparently) and great handling.

Bro I had the Fortera Triple Treads on my Jeep before I just got my SRT reps and I absolutely loved them! I'm keeping them for the winters. I have tested them pretty thuroughly in the rain and snow and they have performed awesome!! I highly recommend them.

So far I love the STII's. The Jeep rides much smoother and takes turns alot easier. I am very happy with them!

Thats awesome, I hate my fortera HLs but ive heard nothing but good about the TT's. prolly the only good tire that GY makes. But pricy at $200 for stock 245's at town fair tire.

[Bslagle05]

Ya I was very happy with them... if I wasn't keeping them for the winter, I woulda sold em to you!

[NHWK05]

LOL thanks, if you change your mind and they are in good shape maybe i will take em.

I am thinking of buying the proxes stII for my jeep but they dont make the same size. I have a tiny bit smaller at 255/60/17 or the 235/65/17 or a bit larger at 275/60/17 or 285/60/17.

255/60/17

[Bslagle05]

I had the 245/65/17 Fortera Triple Treads on mine... out of the choices you listed, I would do the 255's or the 275's

[NHWK05]

I am gonna get the 275/60/17 this fall as long as i can find proof enough that they will be decent in the snow. Ive heard so far that they are not that bad in snow.

[Bslagle05]

the triple treads or the STII's? I can vouche for the TT's and say they are very good in the snow... and I don't plan on finding out if my STII's are good in snow or not! hah

[NHWK05]

Prolly the Proxes, I think those are a bit cheaper, but thats by the internet, i need to check local, I know the TT's will be good in the snow. I am prolly going to chose one of the these two tires in a 275/60/17.

Changing the tire size is going to screw with my speedo reading like when i put 35s on my xj isnt it?

What ever i get it will be on stock Wk wheels until i buy AEV pintler wheels in a 17"
$199 a rim.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/xtremejeeper/AEVPIntler.jpg

I wish they came in chrome, only silver and argent and my jeep is too dark for a dark wheel.

[Bslagle05]

The different sized tires will affect your speedo reading a little... Someone posted a link to a tire size calculator that will tell you exactly how far off your speedo will be... let me see if i can find it for ya

[Bslagle05]

here ya go.... http://jeepgarage.org/showthread.php?t=94

[NHWK05]

Thanks bro. Wil a superships be able to fix that? i know alot of programmers will fix tire size differences.

[Scottina06]

^^^^^yes......

[NHWK05]

Thanks yo...:D

[Scottina06]

use caution when selecting an at/mt tire because of the "bolt" I would stay as close to stock diameter as you can

[NHWK05]

Well thats why i am avoiding aggressive tires and trying to find a good all season/sport tire.

Also, i am not worried about the bolt cause it can be cut w/o issue. Apparently if you go over a 30" tire you need to cut it (its the thing to do when your in the lifted crowd on JU). So when i am ready to buy tires i will have them fit the front first, and if need be i can always cut it before hand. The 275/60/17 is .5" taller then the 245's and less then 1" wider. according to your tire size sticky.

[demon]

Where did you get the clear LED tail lights like the one's that are tinted? Is there a website? Where do you get the front headlight covers that covers the headlight and side marker?

[GR33N D3M0N]

this is an old thread, but the tails u can get from ebay, and the headlight covers are stillen headlight covers, you can either find them used, or straight from stillen...hope i was a help

[BOYCHIKS]

Those things are BLING!

Haha, nice man. Love the lights too :)

[ballajim]

very nice work...what size tires did you go with?

[pmpn8ez]

looks good, did u do staggered in the rear or 20x9 on all 4?

[GR33N D3M0N]

He sold the jeep just fyi...

[DJ BoNiOmArIo]

nice
