I swear that in one of those pics from your photobucket, looked like the tire on the roof had no wheel in it. Did I miss something?

nope it is a spare tire only, don't have the money for a wheel yet, but I am working on it. The poor old XJ is last on my long list of things I need, Like a new Stove, flooring, heater in the Expedition, new tires on the Expedition.

nvm, I see the answer. Might look ok for me.
don't think it'll look to tiny. i have 4-4.5"s of lift with no flares and trimmed benders and my 31's look small as crap. going 33's next. would like 35's but don't wanna regear. and its my dd.

Yeah sometimes I get away from a computer, I have now scored a set of WJ knuckles from Pick and Pull and will be in my list of things to do. My camera stopped working, but hopefully can get another one soon enough, and I will take all new pics.

On another subject anyone think the Yukon or Superior axles are worth it at about $120 each to go in the 8.25 29 spline I have with currently 32's and a locker, and a goal of 34's? I am trading someone a set of 6.5" coils I have for 4.5"ers (currently only have 2" spacers), and will be doing a custom S10/XJ leaf pack, with more than likely iron man 4x4 fab short arms).
