Yes! finally someone else who can appreciate them!

lol all my buddies call them the "bling-bling" wheels

 

what lift kit did you go with?

 

That is the rough country super budget kit. Just Shackles and spacers.

 

Rusty siezed bolts + angle grinder = defeated bolt

 

IMO no OEM wheel cab be bling bling, a buddy of mine had a set on his wheeling rig. I've always like them and want a set for the GFs rig. they are my fav OEM jeep wheel they just look cool on a mildly lifted rif

 

I agree completely! I have those on my 96, got the full spare mounted up in the same place too! Fits perfect

 

Love the Frowny face behind the bolt! Classic

 

Im bumming that I have to wait till the weekend to get the rest of this lift in. If I didnt have midterms going on right now I would have done it today.

Thanks for the feedback guys

 

WELP, as promised I got the front part of the lift in today.

My thoughts on coil spring compressors : Pain in the ***

The nice thing about the compressors was the fact that I didnt have to disconnect ANYTHING. Not the lca's not the sway bar, NADA. It took a bit of wrestling to get them in and out, had a couple close calls safety wise, but overall it went smoothly.


The rig sits much much nicer now.


Plans for the near future:

Rough Country steering Stabilizer
Ditch rear sway bar
Longer Shocks
relocated brake lines
30's or 31's


Next couple months:

Lunch box locker in the dirty thirty


Heres some pics including a gay poser shot lol

 

By the way:

Zero drive-line vibes
Zero Wobble (getting an alignment anyway)

 

PITA Spring retainer clip


and....a crazy victory face lol

 

one more thing,

I removed my home-made intake and put my stock air box back in. I realized that the thing was about as useful as a crap flavored lolly-pop, as I never got around to making a heat shield for it. I think it actually decreased my MPG because it just made me want to stomp on the gas. It sounded pretty cool with the pedal down... lol

I might make a shield for it in the future.

 

looking good man

 

did you make the rod rack for the roof or buy it someplace?

 

Made it. Very Simple. Very cheap. I can do a write up someday if there is enough interest.
