There's only one thing wrong with this pic............it's a second gen.

j/k bro, that is a great pic.  I like it.




































Then again, a first gen would look just that much better.

New wheels and tires! Black ProComp 7089 with 265/75/16 Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx!

I'm getting some rub issues. I did the melt mod and I am still getting rubbing on the very tip of the corner of the rear of the front fender liners. I need to just get rid of the fender liners!

Anyone have any ideas?

[HEVAK]

I had the same rubbing, when I lifted mine, and installed 285/70/17's. I melted modded the crap out of the fender, but it still rubbed in the same spot yours does. I ended up using an razor, at the last Cleghorn run, to cut away the rear corner of the front fender. I cut, just the area that was rubbing, and WHA LAH.

You don't want to lose the fender liners. They prevent a ton of road noise and other stuff.

Yeah I took a razor blade and cut the plastic fender liner in the corner. Still getting rubbing. I'm gonna need to shave away some metal I think. I didn't even step up to 285's! It's the damn ProComp wheels causing it I think!

You are right the offset of the Procomps I believe is appr.  1 1/2 inches outset which is causing you're rubbing.   With my Procomps and a 2 1/2 inch lift, I still had to "trim" the inner lip of the fender to get it to clear.

I think I will need to trim a little sheet metal. If I go off roading, I will probably get even more rubbing the way it sits now. I also think I am going to raise the front Radflo's about a 1/4 inch. I lowered them quite a bit from where they were set down to the factory "rake".

Don't know if its a misprint or not but 3000 lb recovery straps are junk, step up to a 20,000 lb minimum.  Otherwise nice rig.

Like the new Rubber. How is the road noise with the Coppers?

What road noise?

UPDATE!!

Got rid of the ProComp 7089's and picked up some 16x8.5 Level 8 Guardians. No more rubbing!

Also, this past weekend I painted the upper front grille flat black. I think it turned out really nice!

I'll paint the lower portion and rear bumper next time I have a chance as well!
