Yea but the bigger tires would rub up more against my flares, which I think I'm gonna have to remove or mod anyway.

  4. Clean out the inside, its pretty clean but just give it a nice new cleaning
  5. Replace fluids (oil, etc)
  6. Replace belt
  7. Replace misc gaskets
  8. Take off lame anti-Yankees decals

Already done
___________
  1. Replaced trunk shocks
  2. Cleaned engine

Just got the truck today, wish me luck. Will post pics soon.
stuff in red is done

I also want to put in sway bar disconnects and get a new muffler system.

i bet ur mpgs shot up as soon as you got those! i personally would have gone 33s because when you trim your fenders they are gonna look tiny, but its your jeep, and your decision

Yea they really did, I noticed a pretty nice difference in mpg. True that on when I cut my fenders, we'll see how it goes.

Went up around Lake Pleasant today...
