All the trim was faded so I taped off the doors and repainted the side trim and the bumper caps.

Got a set of ZJ Canyons at the local pick-n-pull. Wrapped 'em with 31" BFG's.

Got a hi-lift off of craigslist as well. rather than spending $60 for the mounting brackets I went to Home Depot and spent $15 to get 4 brackets, bolts, nuts, and 8 washers to work the exact same way.

not a bad way to spend about $2000 on a Jeep. Next comes a rear tire carrier from detoursusa.com and then rock rails.

Finally got around to putting on the TJ flares and got some "new" 15x8 Mickey Thompson Classic I's to replace the Canyons I had. Also added a pair of .5" coil spacers and MJ shackles to bring the lift to 3.5" up front and 4" in the rear.

Replaced the .5" spacers with 1.75" spacers to compensate for the weight of the bumper and winch. Sitting at 4" front and rear now.
