Thanks for the offer, but I got bored today and decided not to wait until tomorrow.
Got my tires mounted and put on the Jeep too.
33/12.50X16's on 16 inch Rubicon rims, one inch body lift done.
Tomorrow, the 1" Brown Dog motor mounts go on, and the t-case drop will disappear. Finally!
The tires rub just a little on full crank when I compress them into the wheel well on a big flex. I'm gunna' adjust the turn stops. It's only a little bit on the inside of the wheel well.
Sure is a noticable height difference when I'm climbing in it.

Yes, it is quite a privilege. In fact, you're very close to downtown so you could meet us at our local watering hole, Wolffy's at 8th and Market, 2fer1 beers from 4-6. Just got back from there.
Doing our best to save you money

And it's starting to actually look like more than a mall crawler

Mall crawler?!  I don't think it's ever been to a mall since I bought it.
My Avalanche is my mall crawler.

Well our room remodel is almost complete. It started with Kim wanting to paint the room and me wanting to hide the wires for the TV hanging above our dresser. One thing led to another and next thing I knew we were ripping down sheetrock. Well, we took it down to the studs and started from scratch. We discovered a few things. 1) Our house is drafty because of the completely worthless R7 insulation in the walls and 2) We have termites. Installed new R13, new outlets where we wanted, ran new wires so room was on its own breaker, ran HDMI through the walls into new plates, insulated the entire room along with 5/8" firecode sheetrock all around to sound-proof it and are now throwing up texture. Thanks to the miracle of caffeine we will have this completed in less than a week.
Termite damage
New HDMI and outlet for TV on the wall
Finished taping it yesterday

never seen those in outlet form, does it connect to a PC ran media enter?
that would get old airing up the tires whenever you want to take it out.

It is going to an HD receiver and to the computer.
I don't park the Jeep in the garage. It only goes in when it needs medical attention.

Woke up today to completely dry ground and in the amount of time it took to make a pot of coffee it's pouring rain. No junkyard today, I guess.

What a difference tires & wheels make. Just think in a few years, you will need running boards to get in.

Yeah, sure. After he graduates..
I'll give it a week, maybe, before the first mod
btw, your GC had the first JF decal I saw, never heard of JF before that, and the rest is expensive history so this is all your fault

If you go any higher you will have to air down to get in the garage
