That really sucks. If I were you, I'd go out and grab a pair of the KC 57 series lights. You can get em in chrome too!

I hope the tire is stock size haha. I'd sell you one if you lived closer, I have a 235/75/15 Goodyear Wrangler APT with only 40 miles on it. The thing is brand new and it has been sitting in my basement waiting to get sold lmao

They are actually 215s. You know what they say about small tires...
Once I do my taxes, if the return is enough I am getting 3" of lift and some 31s. Unfortunately, that involves doing my taxes.

Lol sorry yeah I meant to say 215, I was kind of half awake when I typed that out.....
Can't wait to see your jeep with the lift and tires! Go with the lift I have, its definitely the best bang for your buck and I haven't had any issues unlike jeeps with rough country lifts.

Put new Nitro shocks on from Zone Offroad. Only cost me 180 shipped. The fronts went fine. Went to the rear...well you know the story. Took her to an axle shop and they used the air hammer on her and mounted the shocks for me for 50 bucks. I think it was worth it. I didn't feel like dickin with it.

Btw I'm really happy with the shocks. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone and the price wasn't much more than a set of stock shocks from Autozone. Mine needed longer ones than stock for the 3" lift I have.

Wired her for trailer lights.

I put a new battery in my 91 briarwood. It has sat since October (for no good reason). Put the battery in it and a few gallons of gas. After I found the keys it started up on the first crank.
