I'll get around to it one of these days. Its all functional for what I do right now, and I only rub with the wheel fully turned. And thanks for the compliment

1650 though for steel wheels and tires is expensive (there not even a mud terrain for that price and i know that thats not what you wanted for the wheeling you do), ebay has had deals with alloy wheels and lugs for 999-1200, just seems steep to me. Jeep looks pretty good though. I bought wheels stemmed with caps and lugs for 500, granite i had to get tires.

Well the main reason I went this route is because my dad manages an auto parts store, and he was able to order all of the parts necessary at his cost through Keystone. It was all easier because the place where the install took place is next to his store. It all just fell into place at once and managed to work out.

I think they look decent, but my god, EVERYONE has them. I like the AEV Pintlers alot and a couple other wheels. Black is just too dull for me.

Hell, I wouldn't be opposed to throwing a set of Moabs on there if I could find a decent set.

Maybe a little high but doesn't seem too bad

Alright time to bring this thread back from the depths of the JeepForum grave yard. Im gonna periodically add things to this, mainly as a reference for myself.

Really the only thing I've done lately is put on a Metalcloak front bumper (Courtesy of Dendrophobe) and put my Hellas on it. Also I removed a few old light harnesses from under the hood and behind the dash, remounted the CB and tomorrow I'll be installing a trailer light harness so I can tow my boat.

Yes I know the swaybar is funky looking. When I have some more money that will be taken out and replaced with an aftermarket one, not sure which one yet. I mainly want to replace it because my tires rub it at full turn.

SOLIDJP44 · 04-06-2010, 08:08 PM

get wheel spacers, are you sure your not rubbing your lower lca's

NoVaHunter · 04-06-2010, 08:32 PM

Lol, Im about 90% sure its the swaybar thats being rubbed. you can visibly see where the tires hit it, and I had my step dad get in it and turn the wheels as far right and left as they would go and they only hit the swaybar.

But then again ive been wrong before. In auto class tomorrow ill put it up on the lift and see how things are looking down there.
