Thanks for all the replies!
Welcome! Maybe I am misunderstanding what you said, but I am under the impression you want to mod your leased Jeep? I think you should check the fine print to make sure you can alter the leased vehicle, but otherwise if it is easily removed like larger tires and wheels, it probably won't make a difference. It's not like they are swinging by your house and checking your Jeep, right? I think you could easily mod up a nice Sport S and not miss a Rubicon.. might even decide to buy out your lease instead of trading up
Haha yeah I made sure to double check with them before I made the purchase and it's totally cool to modify it. I wouldn't have gone with a lease otherwise. That's the plan, I'm either going to buy it after the lease or trade to a rubicon. Since I'm not quite decided on whether or not to keep it when I'm done or upgrade to a rubicon most of what I want to do will be easy stuff. Nothing I can't replace with the factory parts in 3 years. As for what I plan to do with it, nothing really crazy like rock crawling. At least not yet, it's my daily driver. But I do want it to be decently capable. I'm thinking for now bumpers, winch, tires, maybe a simple 2 inch lift (Maybe I'll win that dynatrac lift lol), lights, and just other little internal addons.
As for the tires I can't figure out what I can get away with. I read some forums and people are saying if you want 35s or bigger (35s are what I'd like) you have to regear which I aint got the time or money for. But I was reading a post last night saying how the JLs with the new transmissions handle the larger tires no problem even on the smaller geared sports and saharas. It's just hard to get a strait answer. Most of what's out there is based off the rubicon. I know with 35's on a sport I'll need a lift and most likely higher fender flares, I'm just not sure on the power part. Since it's my daily driver I don't want to throw bigger tires on it and then get 5mpg out of it lol.
