I really think 33's are to big for that lift. I see you scrubbing a lot on the trail. I also hope you have 4.10 gears running those or your gas mileage is poopoo. Other than that looks great. You might want to pant your fenders or get some or that stuff that restores the color.
^ the color restore stuff is junk. it lasts for maybe a few weeks, and then it flakes off. it's better to just buy a new set of flares from ebay.
jeep looks good, but i would go to an autoparts store and get a set of coilspring spacers to lift it another inch. that would make the 33's much more useable on the trail (unless you're not taking it off-road, then i'd leave it be)
The color restore stuff is not junk. It all depends on what you use. Some of it just makes it look better for a short time and some does it for months on end.
Also how is that APC conversion working for you. I have heard nothing but bad things about it for jeeps. Everyone complains about how hard it is to aim.
There is a trick to fixing the fenders that lasts about 4 months ( it is called a blow torch.... and it works awesome) You just barely heat them and the color comes right back out. I just havent done it sence I got it...... As far as off roading it..... well I actually have the 4:11 gears all around, it is built to crawl....... I get crap mileage anyway.... I felt that the 33in tires would be big too but that is why I went with 33x10.50x15..... they fit inside the fenders..... I can tuck them way up and have absolutely no problem off road...... I actually have less rubbing with these 33's than I did with my 31's

Jeep looks great man. A little bit more lift like others said above and you will be good. Not a huge fan of the wheels, but I am a guy that likes darker looking wheels.
As far as the flares go, I usually just spray some Krylon Fusion (Satin Finish) on them and they hold up for a good bit.
Have a good one,
Justin
perfect jeep
Two wrongs don't make a right. Unless you're Chuck Norris.
Then two wrongs make a roundhouse kick to the face.

Those are actually the stock wheels, I was looking at getting the teflon coated ones, but I saw another black jeep with them and I dident like all the black everything.... it was way way too much for me...... So for stock wheels I think they are pritty tight...... But I think I am going to hit it up with a small body lift and I got some step bars that will cover up the gap..... should give me the little extra articulation room I need.
