Thanks! I did mine in plastidip because I wasn't sure how I was going to like it. It came out pretty good though and I think I am going to leave it this way. Now I just have to figure out where I want my final ride height and do my bump stops. Currently sitting at 1.5" and 33's.
I guess it seems stupid that I'm concerned about going to 32's at 3"f/3.5"r

Part of the reason I did mine was to cover up the imperfections in the paint. After 330k miles, there's a fair number of chips and imperfections. The plastidip does a good job of covering those up. And if I ever want to go back, I can just peel it back off.

I had to do a lot of trimming and test fitting to make them work. On flat ground they have no rubbing lock to lock. Off camber they are good if I don't have to turn the wheel too far. If I do they hit the inter fender though. My clearance issues are now with the inner fenders, not with trimming the outside. If I want to make it more usable, I'll have to raise it another inch or so. For now this is my DD though so it doesn't matter too much. It still bombs down back roads and turns around in the parking lot just fine with this combination.

Picked up a battery for the 96. Might pull the rad out the 92 for it and replace all the fuses tonight depending on how I feel after work. Every one I pulled the other day had light corrosion on it. Thinking that might be it to the electrical problems. Need to install the o2 sensor I got for it too.

$500???????? Nice, I can't even find a decent bare trailer for that price.

I know, I could NOT pass up that deal! the complete set of 32's on Jeep wheels are worth more than that haha... I count myself lucky on this well built custom trailer. It was actually built for a XJ on about 4" lift prior to me having it. It's a solid unit that just needed paint

Was too lazy to pull the rad out the 92 but I did get drain pans under it and pulled the drain plugs for the oil, trans, and coolant. Gonna pull the drivetrain out of it Saturday and get all the newer parts off it to have on hand. In the last couple months before it started sitting I'd replaced the entire cooling system, front brakes and the blower motor. They probably all have less than 1000 miles and a couple hours on them. Figure I can get $150 or so for what's left of the unibody.

Started raining by the time I got home so I only got to throw the battery in the 96. Beats not getting anything done. At least now I can move it to mow the grass under it. :laugh:

I love finding out my gas tank has a hole in it... Maybe I'll drop it. Get my frame stiffeners installed. Tire carrier installed and pit another tank in.
I have an 01 tank with a good pump and 7 gallons of gas in it cheap.
I'm in Toledo OH
