Default First Jeep!

I'll start off by showing my ride that I like to keep clean.

Now for the Jeep. I had a little '89 Honda CRX that I traded for this. I plan on getting 15x8 5x4.5 bolt, and 4 in backspacing Cragar Soft 8's, and probably General Grabber AT2's, not sure on what size though. Probably 31x10.50. Unless I decide to stay with the stock wheels, then they'd be 225/75r15.

Thanks! What are some popular visual mods on these? I'd definitely go for some new tail lights, lol. and Maybe clear turn signals.

I'd go with your idea of soft 8s and new general ATs, and maybe a short lift(You might not be able to fit 31s on stock lift without major rubbing). Some people on here do headlight mods that look cool. So much info on here. Good luck.

So you think a 2 inch skyjacker lift, and the cragar's and 31's would be good? How do I tell what body style I have?

For tailights, what alot of people do is(including me) Tint them only I think it looks best with just the amber and red tinted and leave the reverse for contrast. Or they make the amber part red but either way good luck!!! Whenever I have a prob, I post and I have my answer right away, so many helpful people here!!!-Rob
