Tires/Wheels
 
I stopped in one of the Local junk yards that like to keep alot of Jeep's yesterday. I got to looking at some tires I liked but they were 16" tires. I looked in the pile and found 2 16" wheels from a 00+ XJ which are pretty hard to find. Then I found a cherokee with 3 good ones on it. I ended up getting 4 wheels and the Wrangler MT/R tires. The tires where in pretty good shape but far from new. So I got 16" wheels and tires for 175.00 installed:thumbup:

Tires are 245/75/16

Man I am so jealous of you yanks. If a local JY had those he'd want $175 A WHEEL! and $100 a tire. They think their stuff is as good as dealer new.
And thats ALL of them in Ontario. Some kind of collusion going on here!:brickwall:

Congrats on the find !

WTH? Look at the rear! The wheel is off center toward the back.

Jamie57 11-01-2009 05:57 PM

camera angle?

XJ's~For~Life 11-01-2009 06:59 PM

No I went and looked and it is for sure off center. The other side is dead perfect:icon_rolleyes: I will never get this thing right and the way I want it:no:

You may have some loose ubolts holding the axle to the springs. I had this problem on a 77 MG Midget I once owned. It was so loose it was like a rear steer car. Lots of fun. Real easy fix though. You should be able to handle this with a jack and a couple of jack stands.

Yeah, I bet that was fun:laughing: I guess all the leafs have the lining holes in them right? So I just need to line them all up and get me a bolt or pin to slide down through all them into the lift block right? I think I can handle it!:boxing:

your center pin isnt lied up causing your axel too walk sideways aka crab walking

XJ's~For~Life 11-02-2009 08:53 PM

Yep, Both pins were broke and wasnt holding nothing. I had to line back up the bottom 3 leafs on both sides and I put new pins in them,. Its all good now I hope!
