In other news,

I'm almost done painting the used wheels I bought. I decided to use bedliner because I think it looks good and is easy to fix if it get scratched. I still have 1 wheel to do, because I ran out of paint. I like how it came out, despite my very small experience in painting stuff. I sanded the wheels with sand paper, then I did 2 coats of primer and then 2 coats of bedliner. I should have these mounted early next week. I'll post pictures as soon as it's done.

*Edit*: I didn't touch the spare because the guy barely used it, so I won't bother sanding and painting that one. Either way, it's going on the roof rack.

Can't wait to see the wheels on man! I've been looking all over trying to spot your beast driving on the road.

They should be on next week or so. As for spotting me on the road....You can't miss me, lol. The only time you won't see me is when I'm home, because I park behind my apartment.

I found out that I don't need an alignment on mine, only have to fix my steering wheel, which is off centered. I'll do it with the guy that did the lift once I go install my wheels. It's easy to do......I did some research and apparently, you can go to about any places that is good at doing alignments. You apparently can still use stock specs and you should be fine. Just don't go to Canadian Tire please....

Looking good! Where did you get the roofrack??

I always thought about mounting a shovel on my jeep, but then I wondered if someone would find it handy to smash my windows in with it..

I bought the roof basket from a store called Rack Ultra. (www.rackultra.com) They are only in Quebec though. The brand is SportRack and I've seen it once at Canadian Tire for 30$ more.(not installed though) As for the shovel, it is holding on with screw-type hose clamps for now. It's so high up there that I'm not too worried about people stealing it.

P.S.: The dark spot on the bumper is water. I washed it just before taking the picture.

Yeah, now I found out that I really need an alignment because my front wheels aren't sitting on the ground flat. I have to fix my toe-in, toe-out. (or something like that) Can you PM me the phone number of where you went for the alignment please? I'll go see them.

Mounted my full size spare. Originally, I was going to install it on the roof basket, but it's way too heavy for me and my back. I'll keep the space in the basket to put a Gerry can and my hi-lift. The rest of the space will be use when I go camping.
