Got my new tires/wheels mounted today!!! I got 5 33x12.50 ventura M/Ts on ProComp 15x10 steel wheels, 3.75'' BS. Just need to find a place to carry the spare now
Also, I bought my buddies 1995 Jeep Cherokee Limited last Saturday. Its a UK spec RHD XJ with a 5'' lift, snorkel, brush guard, tire carrier, CB, really clean leather interior, and 67,000 original miles on it!! It had the 33'' Ventura tires and wheels on it, but I swapped my other 33s and TJ wheels onto it for now. The plan is to drop it to a 3'' lift, 31s, and have it be my DD/tow rig. So then the white Jeep can now be a dedicated trail rig!!
oh and here are the pics...

Drove it to my new apartment to start moving. Stopped at the junkyard and grabbed more stuff I don't need. Averaged about 19MPG, not too bad.

Nice. My record is 23MPG doing 60MPH all highway. That was before my roof basket, brush guard, and 235s. This trip was with mentioned add-ons, about 90% highway, 10% town so 19MPG was a good day for me.

I changed the diff gear oil in both front and rear. Front oil was very black and thicker than normal, not sure if it was ever changed before (218,000 miles). Inspected the gears and all looked good.
