nope nothing hits everything clears i had to make my discos the longest i could because at a lower setting they do hit my springs. i still haveto figure out a way to make them easier to take off and put back on.

ok so i wanted to see what the new tires would do so my wife and i went and played in the mud on the way to the store i think they did really good. needed to find a new one since most of it is almost gone already.

it was so funny she kept saying go through that and lets do that again and can you make it up there to get back to the road then when we got home she said i hope you enjoy your anniversy present it is something we both can enjoy.sat we have been married 7 yrs.

You will want bigger tires as soon as you get hung up in some deep ruts like i did last weekend. I have 31's and now want 33's to clear stuff and to clear ruts. Great job on everything looks great!

thank you.

i am very happy with my 30's they seem to handle what i need maybe later after i wear these out i'll switch to 33's but right now i'm going to stay with these. i have fallen into a bunch of ruts havnn't got a chance to try these ones out yet in ruts but to run 33's i have to completely regear and right now i have more important things to pay off.

i also picked up a 1968 scout for my son for free which it needs alot of work so i'm going to put most of my xj projects on hold to repair the scout but i'm set pretty good on it now.

Sounds cool. I am in the same boat i went with 31's because of having to regear, but my friend has 33's and its not too bad, but then again my rig is not a DD. Great build and i hope to see more and good luck.
