Oh yeah they had a blast. First thing they asked this morning was if we could go back out, so we did that, and once it cools off again this evening I’ll take them out again.

Is this the general Jeep thread?
Anyways.... our Vacay last week was to Corolla NC, the northern most community on OBX. Between it and the Virginia state line boasts one of the few drive-on-beaches that I have encountered.
During to 2 hour crawl to get off the island chain i saw no less than 50
some were super impressive.
75% were driven by the fairer sex.

Yea, chicks really love them.
For some reason, my Michele is way more
on the CT2 than the JL. She didn't like the top off much because of messing up hair
, so it made the thing somewhat of a waste. So that worked out...

Yeah she didn't love when I had the top and/or doors off, but she liked riding around in it when it was all buttoned up. She likes that high seating position.

She wears her hair up 90% of the time, I guess she just didn't love the open air thing.
When I first finished my C5, I had to man bun to go with the targa off. Got to be a hassle in summer and I chopped it off. Annual haircuts since.

Most tanks are around 20mpg these days but remember I’m pushing about 140 miles on the highway per commute, the last 20 miles are stop and go 35mph limit city driving.
Still
for ~75mph commutes most days.

I think 35x11.5 17 could be huge. Glad to see it expanding.

It will actually fit on the stock wheels; which is huge to me because I really like the Willys wheels. I hope to see the size gain popularity and more tires become available. It almost seems like a Goldilocks size.

It absolutely is, and I like the idea of tires that better fit stock wheels. 35x12.5 "fit" according to most, but they really don't.

Every forumbro says a 12.5 “fits” the stock wheels.
Tire manufacturers usually state you need an 8 or 8.5 wide wheel for their 12.5 wide tires. I don’t want that wide of a tire as they usually stick way too far out and throw all sorts of rocks/mud/salt/shit all over the sides of the vehicle.

The problem with 12.5" tires on those wheels is the wheels don't stick out far enough, so you end up with rubbing issues. But the tires also stick out further due to overall width, so it's just losing in every way.
There's also issues with stability on those narrow wheels, tire mfgs have size requirements for a reason.

The rubbing issues cause people to add wheel spacers, which who knows where they got them from.
I’d like to follow manufacturer specs when it comes to the only part of my vehicle that actually touches the road/ground.

Yep. Chinese sourced spacers from ebay to run tires that are too wide for the wheels on a $50k Jeep. Makes perfect sense.
