Cool New Tires

Wanted to make this quick post to show how much of a difference different tires made on my '87. When I got the jeep it was cool already but I had no idea how lame it was compared to how it looks now with just different tires. Here are some before and after pictures:





I noticed a small height difference and bumps felt a little less bumpy which is nice. Got this set of tires for $100 and I'm going to sell off the old ones for super cheap.

This is how it starts! Soon you'll be on a 6" lift, SYE, with a custom quad link suspension and 34" MTs!!!

Seriously though, that is an outstanding looking XJ. I assume you went from the stock 225s up to something like 30x9.5/r15?

Looks nice. Those look like the wheels from a 98 5.9 ZJ.

Those are the same wheels I have on my 2001. Came with the Jeep with it was originally purchased. Is there an app I can download to make viewing and posting pics a tad easier?

Thanks man haha, that's one of the things I was talking about with some friends, how much do I build it up to the point it's not cool as a classic car anymore? I am thinking a 3" lift and somewhere like 31s. Then eventually a light bar across.
