I finally got to wheel my ZJ
I did it! I did it! Finally go to wheel my ZJ after owning it for almost a month
. It impressed the poo out of me, it is stock with 225/70/15s. 3 Cooper cobra gt radials, 1 Sumitomo sport tire and I didn't get stuck. 4" RC lift and a set of 285/70/16s going on it on Sunday. I'm as giddy as a school girl. Hope with the lift and tires I don't drag everywhere like I did today. After the lift gets put on I think I'll order a gas tank skid, transfercase skid, and stage 2or3 rocksliders from JCR. Anybody know if they are good or not I don't wanna spend the money and wish I didn't.

Once my tires hit the dirt, I feel different, it's a great feeling. I like knowing that I'm not confined to pavement.

Today was the most fun I've had in a while. It has been a long time, 3 years or so, since I have gotten to wheel in a vehicle the last one was my K5 on 36" swampers and today was way better than that. This thing rides so nice,its like wheelin a caddy. Think I might sell my 4wheeler to mod the Jeep more.

I do have the bug thats for sure. I've had it for years. Today was extra cool because I got to take my little girl with me, she had a blast. I sold my K5 when she came along, now we get to build this Jeep together. She already helped me redo the headliner and put a blendoor motor and radio in it.
