New shoes.

Attachment 175920

Aaron found them for me on CL for $150 with two usable 235 BFG A/Ts. Backspacing sucks, but they're better than the factory wheels.

Time to rush to work.

Replace & Upgrade - MJ Build-2013-02-19-11.41.35.jpg

Got the GY Wrangler AT 235's that are on the back off of CL for 100 bucks... they were on the back of the guy's pickup for 3 months before it got totalled.

The black rims I got from a friend for another 100... I'm lovin' the black

Finally!

My temp and oil gauges aren't working. They sit far left and far right, respectively. I did change the senders, so I don't know what the problem is.

I'll troubleshoot later. For now, I'm happy to have a tachometer and a gas gauge with a needle

Also got my D44 and accessories moved to the new work location. The ball is once again rolling on that project, and I should soon have a trussed D44 with a Riddler cover carrying my *** end.

Minor update:

96xjclassic wielded his mighty grinder, and my fenders suffered his wrath.

I also recently pulled off the air dam and inner fender liners. Really makes it look lower and wider, especially with the offset wheels.

New windshield going in on Saturday.
