So I hop up on my tailgate in to the bed then onto the roof
Thro that bad boy to the ground and then hop down and do work
I'm also 5'9" and 140lbs soaking wet
Agile as a spider monkey and twice as nice
Lolol
Anywho

And final note about the rear swing tire,
Ever been rear ended, puncturing your spare, and smashing you into a curb busting the front passenger tire leaving the jeep still drivable but with only 3 good tires?
Tire on the top, no prob.
Also ever been in that position and tried to find a rim and tire that will fit and match to your 33's so you can drive home?

you wouldnt sand the paint off the roof anyways, it'd rust under the bedliner... you'd scuff it the roll/spray on.
back on topic, guy came into valvoline today and saw my jeep(we put it in the front bay for looks
) and was askin about it and what all was done to it. then i mentioned my stroker and he was inteerested in doing that in his grand. til i dropped the bombshell, how much i have under the hood alone amazed him and said that POS wasnt worth doing that to. i walked away and went down into the pit.
