I found some pictures I have a DCX's JK they drove around in LA with.  It has BFG KM's on it.  Although they have a white label on them that read; 'Baja Champion'.  Which is a bit different.  I'm not sure if that makes them any different then the regular KM's though.

I'll see if I can find a picture of them.  I may have one that might have the tire in it.  I don't have one of the tire though.

***Ok, I looked at my picts and did find something.  I didn't think I had it originally.  Seems to look ok.

Found this image too.  It's the first I've seen of a JK without the front fender.  It just looks like a Jeep without a fender and doesn't look as clean and I'd hope.  Maybe it's that bracket or the dirty edge?  :nothing:

It needs a new front bumper...  Not one of those big gaudy pnes with the headlight and fender protection either...  It could use a shorty bumper like a Kilby or Hansen...

Kilby is a Hanson actually.  It's the older Hanson w/o the divot for the winch.  I really like how they have an integrated winch plate on those.  Too bad they cost an arm and a few fingers though.

I believe, they will have them available for the JK though.

That lifted red one looks like a Hummer H-3.  I don't care for the looks but the 4 doors would be great to get the kids in easier.  However, a tight trail will be a nightmare with that extra w.b.

Really......you really think the extra slightly more than 1" on either side will make a difference on a tight trail??

Ease up a little Moz, where did you get 1" from? The 4 dr has a WHEELBASE of 116" vs 95" of the TJ Wrangler. That's alsmost 2 feet and does make a difference on tight trails. Hell, the park I go to has a max of 110" for this reason.

wheel·base (hweel-beys, weel-) –noun Automotive.  1. The distance from the center of the front wheel to that of the rear wheel in a motor vehicle, usually expressed in inches.

I haven't read a SINGLE review that said the width OR wheelbase was a negative factor on any trail riding....only an improvement.

Not that anyone on here has been doing it, but I'm sick of these so called "hard core" wheelers calling the new Jeep crap because it is slightly longer or wider than the TJ....or CJ...or whatever the hell they are driving.

I haven't driven a trail or met a single wheeler yet that would have problems with this new Jeep.

Where do you wheel that has a 110" limit?  Must be serious rocks or moguls in that place.

The Cliffs Insane Terrain in Mariselles, IL. Trails are VERY tight and windy, with rocks, steep hills and mud throughout. I've had to rub my tire up against trees to make turns several times there, so I can't imagine being 2 feet longer. Liljeepz has been there too and said he's not going back until his is paid off to give you an idea. As soon as my Heep is fixed, I'll be back there to break it again. :lol: An absolute ton of fun there.
