Do 35s Fit on a Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee? Will They Rub??

In today's video, we put new wheels and bigger tires on the WJ! Watch to see what wheels and tires I got this time! Can we make 35s fit inside stock fenders with no cutting?

the tread on those tires is really interesting. reminds me of the old Nitto Dune Grapplers

[@engineeringoverland]

The tread design is great. Very happy with the performance. Far more aggressive than a dune grappler.

6.5inch lift?

[@engineeringoverland]

8"

[@trjnsd6874]

Nice. Limit straps will help in front, maybe. WJ's are my favorite. Wish I'd bought one after my ZJ got totaled...by a Peterbuilt..!

[@engineeringoverland]

Thanks! Limiting the down travel is the least of my concerns right now. I don’t have any issues under droop. I MAY decide to limit the up travel a little bit with some adjusted bump stops at some point though. But I appreciate the suggestion! And it’s never too late to get into a WJ!

My friend, where did you buy those rock rails, they´re awesome! I´ve been lookin for those all over, couldn´t find them

[@engineeringoverland]

These are factory Overland rails. I didn't have to buy them since they came on my Jeep. I do plan to get rid of them once I can afford some aftermarket rock sliders.

[@tozecas1]

Looks amazing! What rock sliders do you have?

[@engineeringoverland]

Thanks! These are the factory overland rock rails. But I've changed them since this video.

[@Bankablefoil]

Did you upgrade your axles or stock?

[@engineeringoverland]

Currently stock axles.

[@merrittmcdowell8675]

Looks like ya need some limiting straps

[@engineeringoverland]

No need right now. Maybe later when I have different shocks I don't want to stress.

[@Tripppmann23]

Where you get your black bumper ?

[@engineeringoverland]

The front bumper is D Till Fabworks

[@3gencamaroguy]

Clean WJ man, if you ever upgrade your rock rails I’ll buy the originals off you!

[@engineeringoverland]

Thank you! I actually do plan on upgrading whenever there’s room in the budget. Personally love the factory overland rails. By far the best fitting rock rail to the body lines. But I’m hoping to switch to something designed for more abuse and sticks out for more protection.

[@3gencamaroguy]

Yep your going to need frame mounted rock rails to protect that nice Jeep, sadly non of my Jeeps see off road I just like the factory rock rail look. Let me kno of a price when the time comes!

[@engineeringoverland]

Yup. Thinking some DOM tube sliders. If the factory originals held the same value as a set of tube sliders, I’d let them go right now. But I don’t really know their value and I doubt it’s an even swap. So I’ll have to keep you in mind once I’m ready.

[@3gencamaroguy]

Kevin’s off-road make tubular and square rock rail kits tho some models look obstructive, I’d try to go with something that doesn’t stick out to keep that clean look.

[@engineeringoverland]

I would honestly prefer something that sticks out. The curved WJ body needs something that sticks out or there’s a good chance of missing the slider and still smashing the body.

[@jaanus2525]
