My Build Thread

I really like how it turned out. The stance is so much more aggressive now. Going to get more pics tomorrow after I clean it back up a little. Also just for laughs I rolled the old 235/75 spare up beside my new tires

Here is what I started with





Then here it is after the lift went in.






Then the pics of the finished (for now) project.

The backspacing is 4", which works perfectly. I can turn lock to lock with no rubbing.

My old wheels already sold. They are now on a '95 ZJ.

No, I didn't get to raid those trucks, as I am there to make sure they get loaded correctly.

...and thanks guys, I'm getting there one part at a time

Took it out wheeling again this weekend. Had a blast. We followed some ATV trails (they are now wider ), until we came out on a nice little sandy area in the middle of the creek. So we set up there, ate a bite and had a few beers before going on.

I really like those wheels - do you mind telling what you paid for the set? I guess you've got a matching spare, correct? I'm really thinking about the black wheel look for my '01 Red Sport with black hard top. I really think it would look great.
