Looks nice, man. Are those ravines 15x7 or 15x8? Did you need spacers to keep the 31x1050's from rubbin on your suspention components? I am thinkin about refinishing a set of 15x7 factory teardrop wheels and wrapping them with the same km2's you have. Just wondering if they will rub the control arms/tierod ends or if I will have to come up with a different wheel combo.

thanks man
they are 15x8 wheels with 5.25" of BS so i bought some 1" wheel spacers off a fellow jfer and put them on. no rubbing at all. without the spacers i would definitly rub on the LCAs.
they dont stick out at all, they line up perfectly with the fenders. i love the look 
more pics in my build thread if you want to see more

I am really diggin the way the vents look with the gloss black. It makes the rear glass look alot longer. The paint on the vents of my red lmtd is pretty fadded, might have to bite the bullet and give it a shot. I suppose I could pull a set from the j/y and experiment on those, leaving my stock ones alone but the fadded paint needs to be changed one way or the other.

Replaced the right rear wheel bearing, seal and axle shaft - PITA with the Aussie locker to say the least.
Next, I just have to make a small adjustment on the front trackbar...it's a little long, so my swaybar discos are next to impossible to put on. After that, get the trail gear together, packed and secured, pick up the trailer from my brother's house.
ETA 3 days to Grand Slam West in Moab!!!!

I live right off Olive Way and Boylston Ave. I drive around all time! It has become my daily driver while my Q45 is being worked on. Where are you around?
