And the parts collecting begins. APN Header, Bored throttle body, Hesco high flow thermostat housing, Brown Dog motor mounts.

Got my throttle body from Thexjfiles and I have nothing but good things to say. This thing looks amazing. I am blown away by his work.

Default Shake it up a little

Pulled the 31's in constant search for the constant roaming vibrations of the Peep. Of course my spare set of tires, 235-75" on the original rims seemed to have migrated to the bottom of the "great tire wall" with 5 other sets stored above them, dug em all out.
Sorry to say the Michelin LTX 235's ride smooth as silk and super quiet. Only confirms the inevitable that I didn't want to admit. My Wrangler 31's are pooched for on road applications. Could still run em off road a bit this summer. Perhaps pop em on the Comanchee project truck for a while.
Then did lites and lube on daughters ZJ.
This morning a mystery 33 sitting outside by the shop door. Hole thru and marked in the sidewall, I guess a ghost rider wants meet to boot it. Sidewall??? I'm debating to proceed? Funny the puncture (on GYwrangler MT), was right beside the label stating that the tire construction resists sidewall punctures. Considering popping it onto the Peep for a 33's fit inspection tomorrow. I'll ask the wife and the dog what they think.
Wife says, "I told you the truck was noisy." So I asked the Pup, "Should I go to 33" rubber. She wagged her tail. Good nuff for me, I'll take that as a approval all round!. Now what brand? Dog really seems to be catching on to the jeep game. Go anywhere Pup. Soon the pup will be moving to the shotgun position. OH OH, Wife is reading over my shoulder
