Extended brake lines should be in by sat. Anyone have a set of wheel spacers for cheap? I can't afford the rims with Xmas coming and need to move my tires out?

I've had my rough country spacers on for about a year with no issues. Installed them properly the first time and never had an issue with the nuts loosening. I think they were $120 for the set

Welcome to the groupie.

I was talking to Sean (702cherokee) and he finally did the alignment and maintenance on his rig. Trail run soon? Maybe next weekend. Wheelers? Rocky Gap if he is comfortable with it. Lava Butte/Kodachrome/Rainbow Gardens?

Shoot I too need to finish up on maintenance. So far I've pretty much replaced every suspension/ steering part to get rid of my death wobble. Now I need an alignment. Still need to tackle my oil leaks and change out my fluids.
Wrenching day sounds good idea to me. Maybe someone can help me tackle my sys install
