I like the low center of gravity feel, I'll be on 37s with 3 inches of lift!

a lifted parts jeep just went up for sale 4x4 not sure how high the lift is but he's running 35s on pro comp steelies that come with it so i assume about 6.5 for a whopping price of 750$! its got a bad motor and the he just wants to sell and I've got the go ahead to keep it at home but I've got to wait till sunday when I'm not in arizona to get it towed over

the obvious solution would be to swap my motor to that one but I've grown quite attached to oola and i don't think i can part with her just yet

I'm in AZ... it was -11 this morning. Jeep didn't wanna start! Piece of advice, you might want to get a Transmission/t-case connected from the same Jeep. Unless you're comfortable pulling the tailcone off your old transmission, but I just went ahead and bought the 2 already connected.
