My Cherokee Build
Dang, discount tire is $16/tire for mounting and balancing :\ Youd think they would be cheaper since im spending $800 on tires alone from them.

That a LOT high. My tire place does it for free. I get the Wranglers on mine and pay about $85 each and that includes mounting, balancing and putting them on her.

Hey guys I ordered these a couple days ago 


They came in today and I took my rims up to the tire shop about 45 minutes ago.
They should be mounted and balanced in about an hour or so.

I'll try to get pics but I gotta work at 5 so hopefully there done soon.
Btw I paid $590.00 for all 4 mounted balanced brand new

Hey guys sorry I had to work but I did get A picture of it earlier today.

I like how it rides, way better than my old ones. Also they are really loud but i like that so no big deal. These are cheap tires we'll see how long they last.
Also I have a problem. I seem to have lost power or maybe my tranny is just not shifting ( what it feels like ) I had the pedel to the floor for about 30 seconds and I got to about 55 TOPS. Thats as fast as I can go. But if I switch manually it shifts fine and I got all power and normal speed ( can go over 55 lol) . It is an automatic. 231 t case. My dad pressure wdegreased my engine thats about it and it happened after that. Could something just be wet still? I drove it to work and it sat for about 5 hours so it should of dried off, still did the same thing on the way home. Any ideas?

Tested the tires out and they are amazing in mud! Not too good on wet road but everywhere else is awesome.
Did not get stuck one time and was hitting a lot of huge holes that most trucks get stuck in.
Got some pics of the jeep all dirty.


Does rub on full turns gotta trim a little. Also broke my right front axle u joint and that is apart now, got the new one just waiting on my buddy to get off as he has a press.
I will post pics of that tomorrow

It's looking good so far and for the tires, I was going to have Walmart do it for 5 a tire but I only needed the tires on the rims since I balanced mine with bb's so they ended up doing it for free! A little late for my info but... there lol

Just now tore my old headliner out. Got the foam backing out of the jeep and im going to take a wire brush to it and get the old adhesive off and try a custom camo headliner. Got pics but they were hard to see so i'll take better ones tomorrow in the day light!
Also has anyone ever been pulled for smoked tail lights and parking lenses up front? and does anyone have pics of their tail lights tinted?

I had a similar problem with my tranny. It took off super slow and would be red lined at like 60+ almost as like it was stuck in 3rd. It ended up being the downshift cable. easy fix.

Im going to paint my trim black and paint everything chrome black, then tint my front marker lenses and rear tail lights but i think im going to put a jeep logo on it or something of that nature
