The wheels look good, and I would like larger tires, but don't have time to do a lift right now, nor do I want to spend the money since the kids are using it to drive back and forth from school.. Might just stick with a more stock tire for now, and once I do a lift down the road add the 31's..
What bumper is that?

Sorry, yes, the red one.. I like, but dang, that's expensive..I'll be sticking with stock, since I don't need a winch.. One day when I grow up and start to do some serious offroading then I'll snag something like that.. LOL..

I actually finished putting the Gauge LEDs in about 10 minutes ago. Pictures will be up tonight. The HVAC Lights I didn't do yet. IDKY, just didn't. I'll do it soon though.

Heres a picture of the LEDs in the gauge cluster:

The top of the gauges are a little dim compared to the rest due to the fact that LED emits focused light, but it is definitely an improvement from the incandescent bulbs. Looks great, I'm going to go and make all the needles white like the RPM needle, I think it looks great. Also, the LEDs were not an exact swap, I had to do a little modification on them in order to make them fit. Once I did it to all of them, they went in with a charm.

HAHA, I'm actually thinking about getting an 8" Iron Rock Offroad Critical long arm lift kit and 35" tires to go with it. I make the money, spend it, but don't have the time to put it in; just like you

Wow!! 8"?!?!? That's a lot of lift! You could clear 35s on 6.5" if you wanted to add some flat fenders or TJ flares if you don't mind trimming some sheet metal. I'm the same with work and school lol I live & work on campus so when I'm home for a weekend I do all that I can. Problem is I haven't been home in three weeks so it's killing me lol

I commute, but it doesn't make a difference. I like the look of the oem fender flares and I don't want to cut them so the 6.5 isn't an option. Plus, where I live everyone loves big cars. I pretty much live in Maple Shade NJ, which is notorious for big and badass cars trucks and jeeps. I have a buddy with an 8" cherokee. It look badass and he has the bushwacker flares. Although, I don't really like them. Hes actually working on getting it to 10"s in lift and putting 38s on it.



My dad will go nuts if I start getting more stuff on top of my pile lol
