Right now I have just about everything I need paid for, except motor mounts. So if I can sell enough of my jeep parts out I may be able to afford a set of lockers which is one of the last things this jeep needs. My goal right now is to be able to pull the front wheels off the ground. even if I have to get limiting straps.

Well im sorry If its that big of a deal, It was just bothering me to find the brand and type of tread of the tire. I highly doubt many users or other people are going to be ordering these anyhow.

That kind of thinking just comes from not having enough and a need to hoard.
But thats not why we are here is it.

I wouldnt be to concerned with the howling on the road since any mud-terrian tire is going to give off road noise. Glad to hear it, How much did they wind up costing a piece?

No problem, just seen that the question about tire type was being ignored (a couple of times) and I knew what they were. Thought I would share the info since no one else would.

welcome to the cool kid club.

update on the budget.
paid for dual intake mani $120
sold one 99 intake and TB for -$225

old total $3560
new total $3455
I also have about $1000 worth of deals pending but I dont count my chickens before they hatch.

as of right now, Im just waiting on the parts jeep to arrive at my house. It has been raining non stop here, so the PO hasnt been able to get to it do to all the mud/flooding. right now the only work being done is the intake/exhaust is being finished. I will be working a little on clean up and some more on the stereo/wiring but Im pretty much at a stand still. Its the first time money hasnt been the cause of a hold up for me.


remember if anyone needs any parts PM, im thinking I need to save for some lockers

still just sitting waiting on my parts jeep to arrive. I got my amp endcaps in the mail today. they mount on the ends of the amp to hide all the wires. I also started putting the door cards back on since the liner has dried.

today I will finish doors and what I can of interior. Install the amp ends and finish up some aux wiring. and wash the passenger side with adhesive remover.Im headed over to the parts jeep now to see what the hold up is.

got the residue from the masking tape, and the previous owners tacking chrome accents and trim all removed tonight. finished reinstalling the doors. Checked on my parts jeep, it SHOULD hopefully get here by the end of the week. I also picked up my mountain bike from the bike shop, after a complete tuneup. Hopefully I can sell it too to help keep the $ flowing.
