I would go for regearing but only when I am 200% sure that I am happy with the tire size I am running, and the stickers for my axles are missing... Just like how the mirrors are missing too lol

honestly I don't, I think I might even go down in size so I can get better turn in.

4.10s may be your answer then. Of course you could stay stock on 31s as well.

I just don't like how much the 32s rub when turning tightly, especially when where I go you have to maneuver around trees and stuff. So I need that turning radius,

Looking at the pictures you posted earlier, the issue is the rims, not the tirea. Those are stock rims up front. You need ones with the proper backspacing and you won't rub at all.

backspacing of 3.75 would work good. Lots of rims that come in that backspace.

Ok so after a bit of searching I discovered that the doorhandle for the drivers rear broke off where the hardware got (somehow) shoved into the door and broke some of the parts off it.... Good thing I have a 93 sitting next to it. And I'm going to go for spacing with some cool flares...

Ok so I may have been sidetracked with the build/ressurection of ironside, due to many many things. So because I don't know when you have too many Cherokees I'm going to be getting yet another Cherokee. A 1990 jeep Cherokee pioneer with the most pristine look I've seen lol.


It has 141,000 miles on it, it has one bad spot on the rear bumper where it took a lil bump, but you don't notice it until you really look for it.








That's the new (hopefully) daily driver for me until I finish Ironside...
