welp within a weekend, i put on some 31s, a 3 in lift. gained a MASSIVE death wobble (couldnt go over 30) and fixed death wobble, front bumper delete, painted fender wells and front area... now possibly working a deal on some soft 8s and have to fix the rockers and paint the back bumper and body black so it doesnt look like ****... im pretty excited with how the jeep is going... whatcha guys think??



i can make it up the next 4x4 easily. but its super windy and it kinda gets a little unstable up there lol and the water is right next to it so i dont wanna lose my jeep

Finally had my new Cragar Soft 8's put on, after having bought them a couple of weeks ago. (The wait was maddening!) I hafta say, I was worried what they'd look like with 30's on, but after replacing the stock wheels, it looks AWESOME!

oh, because heat will do awesome things to your hub bearings.

There is nothing wrong with using an impact on the axle nut, as long as the hub bolts are still in place.

Damn, dudes! LOL Okay, here's a pic right after they were installed. It was already dark, so I pulled into a parking structure JUST so I could get a pic. It's a crappy picture you can't tell anything with, but it's a pic just the same. I'll be out of town for a couple of weeks, so y'all will just have to wait for a proper photo session. But take my word, the stock wheels were pretty damn *****ty looking!

Ha! What can I say, it was a price-is-right Craigslist special! But they were brand new, never-been-installed wheels with centercaps for $200. I mainly saved on shipping! I'll probably black out the caps/nuts in time.
