Are those 33/10.50? I knew you had 35s on and personally I like the 33s a little more for the lift/tire ratio, but would think a 33/12.50 would look better

Good eye. Yea these are the 33x10.50's I ran before the 35's. In the summer with 100-105* days tranny temps were way too high with the 35's so I put them on my YJ. This spring It'lol get regeared and And I'll probably go with a 33x12.50 or 35's again All the trails here are getting dug out cause idiots in jk's running 37-40" rubber

Took my bumper caps off and broke the steering box bolts free to install the C-Rok Steering Box Brace I'll probably get to that when I get a 5/8 drill bit but for the meantime just tightened the bolts back up.

Does anyone know if you need the Putco H4 harness to use the truck-lite LEDS?

Had my spare tire moved onto the 15x6 steel rim that my old spare was on. Just seems to fit in the holder better than when on a 15x7 steel rim, although I can't conveniently rotate it in. Also dug out the cold front and put it on.

I worked on my half doors the last few days.

I'm keeping this cut because of the way it looks with the body lines and because I can now lean out over the door which is all I wanted. I was tired of squeezing through the window.



Should have both welded up tomorrow morning. Just need to bondo some spots and paint. After my trip next weekend I'll figure out an inside latch and add some speakers.

Finished up the patches and 6X2 rocker on the passenger side in between rain showers. I was sitting on the creeper shaping the final patch and saw this guy watching me.

I had just finished cleaning up the area with that grinding wheel and I think he was soaking up what was left of the heat in it. his shell is just a little bigger than a quarter. Odd to have a snapping turtle this far from water though.

Got the lift installed on the '97 project I bought a few months back but forgot to tell the man I had install the lift to remove the factory front coil isolators. Looks like I'm going to have replace the pitman arm and drag link; the angles on the joints look too severe to be reliable for long...
