So i started my jeep build this weekend. I've actually had my jeep for a while. probably since last march. I paid about 700 for it and ended up having to replace the clutch, the starter, the thermostat, and few other minor things that did not hesitate to empty my wallet. I've never taken it offroad and i'm just now getting around around to lifting it. i know, i know, i should be ashamed of myself. well i am. but either way its finally happening so i figured i should start a build thread. i bot it stock with some 31" BFG A/T's on it. after saving up and getting the peices bit by bit we finally had everything to lift it. spent all day saturday working on it and after it happened it looked beautiful. im stuck with my 31's right now. i have some 33" procomps but i need some wider rims. 10x15 to be exact incase anyone knows where i can find some decent priced rims. (and i got nothing against used)

anyways so here are some pics after the lift. sorry i was a dips*** and didnt think to take before pics. oh well haha....

I got some brand new 15x10's for sale...4" backspacing 5x4.5 log pattern!
They were bought in June...

I'm asking $125 and will ship...could work out cheaper than buying new since you'll probably have to pay for shipping....
