Those Wheels! And where's my cherokeeforum.com sticker?
(Thanks for the pics.)

chipmaker

Haha, thanks man. Think I may have roughed up the ole moabs last night, I was pretty hard on her.


IDK what's up with the stickers. I assumed I'd be getting some more since I renewed my membership.


Maybe talk to Lowrange or Roni. I'll ask around.

Few lunch break pics. Think I need to 35's

chipmaker

Yeah, I knocked out a bump stop too.

35s? IIRC you regeared to 4.56s didn't you? The tires on there now look good, what height are those? A bit more sidewall would look good. Much bigger tires and it looks like you will need to trim some.

When are we going to ride together? Still want those leds btw?

chipmaker

Haven't re-geared yet, but yeah I've got 4:56 waiting to go in. Right now I'm running 255-75-17 which measures out to 32.5x9.5. I'm wanting to get the tallest skinniest 17" tire I can get and trim accordingly should be in the 34x11 size. Will go with flat flares if I absolutely have to.

Yeah I still want em, if you're ever near exit 27 on 85 between 7 and 3:30 you can stop by my shop and check it out. We're less than a mile from the interstate.
Hope to attack the Heep soon and install all the parts I've collected then set up a Gulches trip. You get your 3-link yet?

SatiricalHen

I could bring them back down to clemson with me and swing by sometime. They're sitting back at home at the moment. If I take the highway back I pass exit 27. I have the crossmember but not the links, not sure when they'll come but I have a big trip to windrock may 6-8 so hopefully they show before then. Otherwise I guess the birthday trip is a no go. If you ever want a hand working on the jeep or want to meet up and ride just shoot me a text. Always willing to help.

What is the advantage to tall, skinny tires? The tall I get, more clearance. But wouldn't you want fat tires for a larger foot print?

chipmaker

Awesome! The way work is now it's hard to make any plans. Let me know when you can come, you check out my lil shop and my buddy's WJ.


Good luck with the links, I've been keeping an eye on the status of those kits. Honestly started to get worried for you guys. Thanks for the offer, I'm hoping to take either a Friday or Monday off work and attack the gears, also gonna beef up my CA mounts and possibly relocate my rear shocks. If I can ever get anything set in stone I'll hit ya up, you can come hang out in the garage.

Thinking of selling my rear bumper. Any of y'all be interested?

SatiricalHen

What do you plan on getting after you sell yours? And any pictures?

I'm thinking of a DBO DIY Mojave kit with a homebrew tire swing and hi-lift mount. I'll get some good pics of it tomorrow and post them up. It's rattle can green right now but is bare metal underneath it'd only take a little cleaning to be able to coat it however you wanted.


What kinda rear bumper you got?
