Haha thats EXACTLY how I bought my KM2's for the '99. Worked like a charm but im not sure that will work just yet, little too soon lol.
The tires dont look that ridiculous, they measure closer to 30's so they might do for now until a deal pops up. I have to tend to some other things anyway, my electric fan died on my last week, so I need to go to PullAPart where I will hopefully find other goodies of interest. May try and go tomorrow if all goes well!

Haha! That is hilarious, this time you'll have to say something like "I don't know what it is, there must be a pothole or something that I keep hitting."

*brainstorming* haha. Sad thing is I know where 33's are right now, and if I wasnt so dead set of keeping this thing from being all cut up id go that route. But the whole purpose of starting over is to keep things simple, mussttt... stay.... on... track.....

Its Duplicolor PerfectMatch paint. I used a GM color, had an idea of what shade I wanted and looked around til i found it. Scuffed em with 400 grit, wiped with prep cleaned, primed and painted.
Like the way it ce out but my 235s are holding the Jeep back from the look Im going for. If I can hold off for a month i may just buy a brand new set. Oh well. Maybe i can get some wheeling in soon. Still so much to do, i should be used to that by now. It is most certainly the Jeep thing.

Not much to update, still holding off on new tires. I did fix my A/C, installed a new electric fan, and wired my cheapo lights up finally. Temps have been 100-109 for quite some time now and my motivation is slim.
Random pics:
Also discovered that my Keltec Sub2k (.40 Glock mag) fits nicely within reach when folded up beside console.

I had to get on a waiting list to get mine. They are difficult to find around here. In that pic ive got a hi cap G22 mag in, and a second in the console. Its a sweet gun. Folded up it fits in a laptop bag, plus its very accurate. Ballistics on a .40 cal out of that long barrel are similar to .41 mag lol.

Do want. Did yours come two toned or did you have it painted? The only ones I've seen are solid black.

Mine was two toned from Keltec. Its like a 30 dollar option on the more recent production models, so I figured why not. Sets it apart a bit.

Progress:
On two seperate notes, bought another 1911 (shorter barrell GI model), and set off a couple fireworks. 
Back on topic, tightened my belt to stop my AC squeak issue, changed my oil, installed a new steering stabilizer.
Also tracked down a set of soft 8s and random brand 31s with good tread. Beefed up the look a bit.
Got a nice rain too!!

Damn you! You are going to have to stop showing off your guns, I get jealous and it makes me want to buy more.
As far as the Jeep goes it looks great with the 31s haha, I know a lot of people don't like Soft 8's but I love them.
