That will be next. I got the 32's for $150 on CL with about 1/2 tread. 33's might rub a little without trimming.
Pics shortly

So....we get to the shop today and the power was out  : So the power came back on around 1:00 and we were finally able to get the power tools going. By the end of the day we had the rear finished and just scratched the surface on the front. Here are the pictures.

Working on the rear
Rear Done

I have pieced together just about everything from CL and JF classifieds. Lift, long arms, wheels, tires, 44HD rear end, roof rack, D30 truetrac......guess I'm just cheap!!!

Not cheap ... resourceful!!
The old adage "built, not bought" ought to include "horse-trading". Keep the bucks for what you MUST buy.

Wait until you get her out on some very remote location looking at the granite hillsides and deep, tree covered valleys. That is what it is all about.

She will love it now that it's finally lifted. Especially with summer coming up.
Actually she had a TJ with a 4" lift before i bought my WJ. She sold it to her dad because of gas mileage. It was definitely a street queen though.

Haha. That is actually a mercury comet. Of the 20+ cars that are on that property (not an overstatement) there aren't anything but fords, lincolns, and mercuries....lol
