Just a heads up on the Wally World Goodyear tires. I ran those on my 93' full size Blazer that I had before my Cherokee and they are a cheaper 2 ply tire than what other shops carry. Fine for on road but terrible off road. Three out of my four on the Blazer had plugs in them in the first summer of running. Rocks went through em' like they were butter. See if they have a heavier ply count available or head to a regular tire shop. I ran Coopers on a 96 Grand I used to have and was very pleased with them. They were Discoverers of some sort. High ply count and a great aggressive tread pattern. Bought em' on-line from a place in CA and saved like 45 bucks even after shipping. Oh hey thanks again for the link to the lift kit I had it right and will be ordering mine soon for my 89'.

I got my wheels from summit racing, all 5 shipped for free and I only paid $310, I love them. You can get them for a lot cheaper than that too from there.

I stuck them on my AR wheels I have and they "look" great!

But they drive like **** 2 of them have really bad flat spots, So it looks like the dude robbed me

So Now I can either buy one more and risk another being crap or just sell them as trail tires and buy 4 new ones

My entire Sunday was ruined

BTW The Harbor freight tire changer works GREAT

Default Sye install update

well I got the thing put in but the front shaft trick is not gonna work

I have 33 1/2" yoke to yoke and the JY front shaft is only 34" fully extended

so I think I need to add about 1"-1 1/2" to this dang on thing




ETA: well it seems I could mayby get a front shaft from a ZJ part # 52087805
it is 31 7/8 collapsed so say 1 1/4" longer than what I gots hmmmm
my Pick a part has 6 93-95 Zjs that could have just that front shaft

ZJ shaft should do it for ya. Nice Jeep, lookin' great. Why did you switch back to the 235s? I'm trying to find a good deal on 31 or 32's to get rid of mine...haha
