We Put 38s On Our 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon!

- HERE THEY ARE!
So last week, Kevin and I finally drove down to Texas to pick up our new tires and wheels! What did we get?!
Milestar Patagonia - 38x13.5R17
MB 352 Wheels - 17x9 with a -12 offset
So we did a LOT of research on 38s and on these tires specifically. And although there weren't very many reviews about them online, everything we could find was insanely positive. We were also able to confirm that fitment is pretty easy to achieve wit our current setup!
We took off all of the spacers (no longer necessary due to the new offset) and flipped the rear bumpstops on the RC 2.5" spacer lift. Just that alone makes it dang near perfect when fully flexed in the rear!
Side perk I didn't mention in this video, but will in the next - These tires have ZERO ROAD NOISE. And I mean nothing! They're more quiet than the tires on our Touareg, and it's mind-blowing. They also spin just fine and the Jeep doesn't struggle in the slightest to spin them. She's still got a ton of pep in her step!
We've got a video coming up soon where we'll be putting the tires to the ultimate test on the trail Holy Cross! But if anyone is interested in these, I highly recommend hitting up our friend Chris Olsen at the Discount Tire in Decatur, TX. All around awesome dude & fellow offroader, we wouldn't go anywhere else!
Stay tuned for the next video & don't forget to also follow my Instagram (@xlitebritex) to see more rad photos and videos of the Jeep along with all our other cars!
Hint - The tires are awesome enough to justify the broken windshield and not-speeding ticket. LOL - Авто та транспорт
I have never seen a women more exited about wheels and tires. I'm forwarding this vid to my wife.
Maybe she's a tire lovin kind of rim lovin kind of girl.
Yes she looks beautiful with the new tires!, and the Jeep looks pretty good too! LOL!
Still waiting for that real dirty Bikini Jeep wash video for Christmas lol!
Its actually "I'm going to share" not forward yes I'm that guy
I have this same tire in 38x13.50r17 on my JK. I love them. Super quiet, smooth on road, stay balanced, and work nicely offroad. A perfect balance of AT and MT.
Going back to watch this from April 2021 is eye opening! Kevin with longer hair on his head but none on his face! Brit's hair longer too. First time on 38"Milestars! Brit asks "What have we done?!" Stick around - y'all ain't seen nothin' yet! Just kids out beginning a great adventure! LiteBriteNationRecollection!
It fits it so well with the jeeps new wheels and tires I say it's just perfect👌
Having fun going back through your old videos. Stepchild was so new.😊
These JL's are pretty awesome. Im more and more pleased with this model the more I see of it. Love the channel, keep it up!
Mike Pigg !! ID 101. Childress Texas. Lets make this guy famous.
Glad to see someone else went with Milestar Patagonias. I have 37's on 17" Spyderlock wheels on my 2014 JK. OFFRD - the noise is not bad. Sounds kind of like a low pitched, distant swarm of bees. Honestly though, if you have your top down or doors off, you are not really going to notice. They were tricky to balance. I had a pretty bad shimmy at highway speed, but had them bead balanced by Joe's Tires in Clarksville, TN. Throw in a small bag of tiny glass beads, and they fly around inside the tire and balance it. Took out most of the wobble. I don't do a lot of high-speed highway driving, so good enough for me.
Harold Brock We may have gotten a good batch, ours balanced really well! And yeah the noise is much quieter than any other offroad tire we've had!
Love seeing you guys do different things with your Jeep. Showing everyone theres more options than nitto grapplers and K02s though there great tires. Your educating the free range market like myself, that is a little hesitant but also cost effective and efficient(TBD) who knows those 38s might be the new wave cause they do fit perfect!! Cant wait to see. Thanks!!!!
I see a larger lift in your future. Love you guys!
I like the wheels! Your right, never heard of milestone tires, look forward to your review
I immediately recognized HWY 287 when you showed the landscape through your window. I drive that hwy 3-5 times a year back and forth from Fort Worth on my way to various destinations in NM, AZ, UT, CO, CA, NV. And that view you showed is why I drive the heck out of Texas so often.
looks incredible and god damn that music was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!
The JL is coming along nicely, can’t wait to see the next video with you guys trying out the new tires 👍🏻
Funny that this is showing up on my feed now. Been a subscriber for years and I googled "Jeep JLU on 38s" the other day and now I'm getting this as a suggestion on UA-cam lol. The stepchild has gone through so many changes since then. And it's weird not seeing Chris and Beck on the channel. Also, Milestar tire has gotten pretty well known since this video, in no small part thanks to guys like you and Matt from the MORR team.
Lovely couple right there. She's so cute and he seems like a cool guy.
The Ice Spider Thank you!
I have Milestar Patagonia on my F-350 4x4. Been riding on them about a year now and it’s time for some new ones. I would buy these again! I just want the next time to be for my new JT Jeep truck when they come out!!! Holy shiitake I can hardly contain myself.
You are a very lucky man, and I’m not talking about the Jeep 😂 She seems like a wonderful lady.
The 38s look great on the JL. Even though I purchased a Honda. I still want a Jeep. I’ll work my way up. Then be part of the JL fam.
I'm only only 3 years behind The Times I just put 38 on my wife's Jeep game changer for sure
tires and wheels look awsome!
Firstly, I just found your channel and you guys are great, love the channel. Second, I just ordered a '19 Jeep Rubicon JL in Granite with all fixings they offer but an automatic and as soon as it arrives, the plan is it's getting a 4" lift and I'm looking for 38" rubber, which is how I found your channel!! So, I am going to check out these Milestar Tires now, so thanks for the post!! Now, with regards to your "ticket"??? OMFG!!! I just retired from a large S.O. after 30yrs in Law Enforcement after doing 10yrs in the Marines and I have to say this....I was NOT a "Tax Collector" for the gov't and wrote the least amount of tickets to people within my whole dept and I find that your "ticket" for Impeding the Flow of Traffic, ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, nevermind the fact that it required 3 LEO's to accomplish that task. It's behaviour like that which causes some of the negative attitude that citizens have towards LEO's today. I loved my career and wouldn't of changed it for anything, but my time was better spent investigating real crimes, rather than that type of FBS!! Just my opinion of course and it means absolutely nothing, but I just needed to say something about it. I'm done now, other than I will say, you both handled it great!! I'm actually not sure that I would of been anywhere near as polite had Mike Pigg given me that ticket?? ;) Just sayin'...Lol...Anyway, thanks for the video and the tip on those tires, I appreciate it. I hope the tires have worked out well for you??
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I'm learning a lot and I enjoy watching your adventures. Thanks for sharing!
Hell of a long drive for tires, but I’m sure it was worth it. Very surprised that there aren’t any problems with fit inside the wheel wells. Ah, the cracked windshield. Had that happen on my XJ. It’s a Jeep thing.
The two of you handled the ticket well. If my wife didn’t have any green onboard I would have gave him shit. Rims and tires look great! Love the videos.
How about that wheel selection! NICE!! Couldn't of chosen a nicer wheel and tire combo. But yes, the black lugs will make the difference. Sucks about the windshield though. Can't wait to see the next vid on those aired down and put to the test!
Tires are badass. That's funny y'all got pulled over in Texas. I was in Amarillo over the weekend and got pulled over 42 in a 40. Then they proceed to search my truck for drugs. I had to get my wife and kids out of the truck so it could be searched.One officer stated "we have problems with people from Colorado". No ticket just a warning.
Looks very good on the new tires , nice video.
Your the best, Hi from Nogales Sonora Mexico
Awesome tires and wheels!! Makes your Rubicon look Absolutely Awesome!!!
Love your videos. I just ordered my JL in Sting Gray, as I could not find one with anywhere near the setup that I want. It’s going to take 8 - 10 weeks to get my rig & I’m amped; your content helps keep me excited for its arrival.
I’ll probably do a modest lift & 35s, but hope to see you on the trails, such a cool couple. Keep enjoying your Jeep & life!
I just ordered my JL in Bright White. I couldn't find one the way I wanted it either. How did you find out how long it would take. My dealership set mine to top priority. Hopefully it don't take 10 weeks.mine is totaled so I have no vehicle right now.
I’m really enjoy your videos! Awesome content and production!
Nice setup! I just added 37x13.5s on my JLUR with 3.5" backspace wheels and a 2" suspension lift. Absolutely love it.
That ticket is total bull. I'd fight it but that's just me. I love y'alls videos. I have someone else to go through the growing pains for a new model wrangler with lol
Wish I could share a pic of my JL here 😆
Looking forward to see you test those wheels and tires
That is one sick Jeep
I could hand with Kevin seems like a way cool dude!!!!
That looks SOOOOO good!!
Looks good, great price on those beadlockers
Wheels and tires are almost as sexy as Kevin!!! Teeheehee! In all seriousness, they kick ass!
Nice tires tuck up just right in the fenders. Sucks about the windshield. Ours got a big crack coming back from the grand canyon last month
38= one bad ass jeep
2-1/2 " of lift for a 5" increase in tire size !? I'm impressed that the 38's didn't rub with only a small addition to the bump-stop - JL's must have a lot more room under their raised fenders! How's the flex on the trail?
Seeing all these videos is great because I can get a really good idea what I can and can't run when I get a JLUR after college amd with the diesel engine too!!
Dawson Lane Good choice! Weve considered swapping to the diesel when it's released. We shall see!
Great video .. you guys should add more lift with 40's 😎
Hahahahahaha! The end is hilarious! Can’t make that up!
Jeep looks great!
The o’l Decatur eagles 🦅
Looks great! Looking forward to seeing the flexing on the trail.
Those tires are badass!
That windshield crack tho :(
Dude! those one of the best for rock crawling, driving in sand, mud, snow and that's all you need for your off-road adventures.
Wise choies and would definitely get those for my jeep.
Hey guys I finally subscribed...I had a 72 CJ -5 in my youth and I still remember tearing the rear pinion to shreds raising hell in the woods!! I had to sell it when I bought my house and I still miss that jeep!! Looking forward to future vids !!!!
Nice set of wheels... I'm running Nitto Trail Grapplers 38s and never heard of the tires y'all picked up. I will definitely be getting me a set of those shoes put on my JK! Thanks for the Video!
Because they know you'll never drive all the way back to fight the ticket which is totally outrageous! the only thing you were impeding was them from getting to the donut shop! Please sense you guys go to Texas a lot please go back and fight a ticket just to piss them off! I think jealousy just reared its ugly head, Kind of like when I watch these videos LMAO!
Those look great! And too bad those wheels are discontinued, I really like them. Different from the typical black wheel or Jeep bro Fuel type wheel. I ran MB wheels on my old ZJ, I liked them a lot. Discount definitely has great products and service.
Also, your buddy's Jeep looks great! I love the color, that's the first time I've seen the "Sting Gray" other than the Jeep site. And obviously the lifted Jeep looks killer, but the stocker has a pretty damn good stance from the factory in itself.
Wow.... freaking awesome tires.... just started watching your vids and I gotta say your jeep looks awesome in red (favorite color) and those tires just kill it man...Bad ass ride.... now I wanna buy a Jeep lol
My parents live in Texas, I hate driving to Texas with out of state plates, they love to pull you over. I hit Amarillo and then take 287 down to Dallas, pass through Childress plenty of times.
Don’t forget to recalibrate the speedometer.
Wow looks beast! Please give us a proper review once you've spent some proper time with those meats lol.
Y'all went with 38s, good choice looks great!
No tomato! All my life people have give me a hard time about not liking tomato's.
Good vid's guys.
Normally, I would say those tires are too big. But wow, do they look awesome! That new style Wrangler just begs for bigger tires. I had a TJ Wrangler. Every time I drove from Colorado to Texas I got a speeding ticket in a small Texas town. I had no idea that I could have gotten a "too slow" ticket?? They don't like CO plates!
Tires look tough, but would you guys make video how your steering components holding up?
Cops like that give the other good cops a bad name are you serious!?!?
Absolutely love the jeep and the new wheels and tires! I wish you would have told us if they are louder or about the same as the other ones on the highway tho! Ohh and another thing idk about the jl or if anyone has already mentioned this but please be careful with that stock tire carrier they have been known to break with 37s (on the jks) but if that thing does snap off it could very literally kill someone.
Awesome! Can’t wait for the video of y’all properly breaking them in!
Damn that thing looks even better with the 38s
Dang, I wish I would have seen this a month ago!!! I just bought new 35s. Looked all around for NEW hybrid type tires and these never came up, bummer.definitley will look into them for my next set in about 50k miles or less!
Looks good guys, time for some longer shocks for some increased droop yeah?
Ex Military aye, I am an ex Navy mechanical engineer. 12 years was enough for me.
Keep the up the good videos, so good to watch this thing evolve.
Simons World Thank you!
I'm wondering if I'll need to get those midrange bumpers... Not sure just yet. Everything will be installed mid June. I'm so excited. Keep up the awesome videos guys👍
The 4 doors sure look better with bigger tires, I missed Holy Cross, would be nice to see if the difference will push me to bigger tires in the future. I dont feel the jump to 37's is worth 1inch clearance but the 38's seem tempting. Let's see how them 44's hold up.
Kevin Williams how did the new tires bite vs the Goodyear’s?
Compound maybe softer on that tire vs the MTR. Would be interesting to test with a durometer.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I literally bought my tires from them too last weekend!!!
Still a great road trip !
If you haven't already been next time to come down to Decatur you need to go to Catfish O'Harlies, U.S. 287, Decatur, TX the best catfish in the area they have good frog legs as well!
I like the new shoes! Get some adjustable bump stops and then your golden!
Wheels look Great.
That’s sick! Love those.
Looks great! Cheers from Sweden
So, after all of the good talk about your Milestar Patagonia 38"s, I decided to give them a try on my 2011 JK. They ride ridiculously quite compared to the 35" General Grabber X3 MTs. On top of the ride quality, they are only a few pounds heavier , 82.4 lbs vs 78.7 lbs. which is great since I have they 3.8 powerhouse motor LOL. Metal Cloak belly pans are next!! Great reviews you guys do!!
Awesome!! Glad you like them
Beautiful! The 38s fit perfect too. Don't lift it, it looks great
That ticket sounds like that town has a nice little racket going on. Waldo Florida and Hawthorne Florida near where I used to live were the same and would bust people for the most minor things. They got enough complaints and the state finally shut them down completely
That looks so good! Time for some gears. I think I would have gone to true bead locks though.
Todd Gibbs If we had the money, definitely! As for gears, does not seem to need them. No struggling or power issues.
I will have a Jeep again once the truck is payed off. I am struggling between heavy custom JK or less mods with a JL. $50k can go a long way on a JK.
Sounds like our Drive from our place to the nearest city to get diesel parts. O'Reilly's or AutoZone or the four-wheel drive shop is 140 miles away and if we want four wheel drive parts or Summit 6 hour drive to Reno Nevada from our place but it's always worth it and good tires are always a good thing
Looks great. I’m just glad you didn’t go with 40’s you would’ve been pushing everything to far. Still I think the 38’s are pushing it to the limit of the stock parts.
Alex Benford We agree! The Jeep and stock components seem to handle the 38s just fine, but any bigger and I think we'd have to make a lot of changes.
Today is the due date on that ticket... did you show up to contest, reschedule or just paid it? Nice vids, very informative and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing!
We paid a lawyer to take care of it. Cost about the same as the ticket, but we would rather that town not get our money (plus keeps it off Kevin's record).
Getting a ticket for driving to slow...it’s a Jeep thing lol
Great Aggressive looking tires but, just curios about your steering clearance.
Nice tires. Maybe someday I will be able to do that. I had my Jeep for 6 days and got a crank in the windshield. I support the Police but that was unreal.
38’s look great! Every state and municipality is different. If you were in say GA for example they may have cited you for tires extending outside of fender/flare and wouldn’t let you back on the road until you fixed it.
sut2910 Luckily Texas and Colorado aren’t quite that silly. 😊
I’m riding on 38x13.50x20r on my JL and I live in Ga, and I haven’t had any issues with any police officers!
you guys are awesome.
Time for new gears!
The all mighty JL wins again lol. Def would need them in a JK.
Kevin Williams That's impressive.
I'm ultimately waiting for the review you guys give the tires. Obviously this is because you guys actually wheel your Jeep. So far I've ran BFGs and Mickeys on mine. Looking to see for later upgrade.
Kevin Williams Yes I have a 17 JKU Rubicon traded up from my 16 JKU Sport. Live in Wisconsin. Loved wheeling out in Colorado. Drag race would def make for good vid.
Lol I just had a road trip down to Austin last week and that’s one of the first things we did was get whataburger
The 38s look amazing on the JL
Did you feel any power loss with those 38s?
I’ve already had two cracks in mine .... the windshields on the JL’s are cracking left and right
Looks damn good!
Damm super red looks good!!!!
I never seen that tire they looks super! Please let us know how good they are on the road! Tks!
I NEED THEM !!!!!
HAHAHA this is my second vid with y'all and yes I am a Texan!!!!
I agree with the police doing greatness in the name of the law, but c'com.. 5 under in the right lane at 35? BOO. Difference with police and military is huge for my military family.. rules of engagement says it all. Y'all can tell Mike Pigg a big THANK YOU because I am hitting the sub button just for that alone. LOL. I am looking forward to getting my next vehicle as similar to your Rubicon but in that awesome green.
Thanks for keeping it real while in Texas. Love the wheels
That's just small town police boosting the income stream of tickets. It's ridiculous.
should teach those cops a lesson by suing the hell outta them and getting them fired. those incompetent thugs are a waste of tax money
revenue whores.
DAMN! those look great
Love your videos Kevin and Brittany! Keep them coming! What gears are you running at the moment 4:10s? and are you planning on regearing in the future?
Lookin good!
HEY I’m in Austin TX haha idk how far it is from where your at but that’s a hell of a drive ....
Have you measured the height of the tires on the jeep? I'm curious what the true measurement is. The tires look nice.
I work for Discount/America’s Tire in California. I had those MB 352 but all black on my old 2013 JK. But not I have a 2018 JL Rubicon.
