I'd love cooper discoverer stts, but they only come in 33 12.5 and im looking for 33 10.5, I might have to go with a metric side to get close. I don't know if I'll even get em right away it depends on how much is left after reg and insurance

The Jeep moved today, but I have no brake pressure at all and the parking brake light is on even though the parking brake is off. So when it's not raining I can adjust and bleed the brakes and see where that gets me.

Find a good spot in the woods and make it an adventure. That's what I do.

My rear end is back on Jacks for new wheel cylinders the bleeders won't budge, so I basically back tracked...

New wheel cylinders so hopefully the brakes are figured out.. this week it gets new shoes new fittings and then weather permitting everything but the 3 rot holes will be fixed.. talk about a long process.

Looking good! I love the look of built up 2 doors. Speaking of them, I got my buddy back in a jeep after he tore his 4 door on an 8" lift in half -_- and it's a 2 door 5 speed haha!

Got it for $900 just had to put the new motor back in. Back came with full gasket sets and new clutch. Very very clean. I think he's going 4" lift on 37s. We're both swapping over to 3/4-1 tons at some point

Oh Nice that'll be awesome. I thought about swapping axles but there's no need for what I'm building it for. I might be up your way in the next year or two

Mines Lincoln locked on 33" km2s with almost no tread and it didn't do too bad the one time I took it out before it hit the garage... But that being said, I loved having it on 35" bfg all terrains, the heep actually rolled a lot better down the highway on em than the 33s.. Much lighter tire even tho they are bigger. Never let me down for being ats either

I might hit 35s but that's after long arms for sure I'm at 4.5 now and don't really want to cut much more. I could see them rolling better though having more centrifical force. ( I know I butchered that)
