got some 31" Trxus MTs and cragar soft 8s put on today. i needed to stay smaller in size b/c i am now driving this thing everyday.

the pics also show my new OEM sunrider soft top from an 06 rubi. mounted perfectly with no modifications needed. i had to buy the soft uppers separate though.


the day i bought it: ('supertop', street tires, and outlaw IIs)



today:





the flares will be going back on ASAP...i had taken them off to paint.
i also picked up another set of Hella 500s (on clearance at Walmart) to mount on the windshield.
i also bought an air compressor and some tools and will be spraying in Herculiner in the next week or two.
i also have a new dash on the way from an 03 TJ in the "agate" (black) color. i will be getting some agate door panels as well as soon as i find some for a decent price.
i will also hopefully be getting some Corbeau front and rear seats very soon.

my initial line of things to do with this jeep was to fix the mechanical problems, get new tires, get a new top, and then fix up the interior b/c it is TERRIBLE.

Looks great man!!! How much coin on those tires and wheels? I will be sending the dash out Wed. (tomorrow). I will get back to you on a final cost with shipping!

I like it. I hate my wheels, and I really like those. Being broke sucks.

$1082.11 was the drive out price for 5 wheels, 5 tires, locking lug nuts, and mount and balance.

i brought in a print out from Quadratec (who believe it or not, had the lowest price on the wheels and the tires) to Discount Tire and they price matched and ordered the tires for me. they had the wheels there. they just charged me the $15/tire shipping that Qtec would've charged, but didn't charge me the handling fee.

the wheels were $184.95
the tires were $634.95
the lugs were $50.88

the rest was tax, shipping, and mount and balance.

awesome! can't wait.

Nice Jeep... look familiar?



Just put on my bumper caps and need to decide what rocker guards to buy. Only had mine since Dec 26th... so far so good I guess.

wow, friggen looks great! big difference from those dinky stock tires!



what type of lugs are they??

Damn, I was looking for a deal on turkey, or beef............

I is hungry.........

Looks good !!!!!!!

looks good! let me know how you like those truxus

Wow...wow....wow..




"That Jeep is so hot right now."

I vote to loose the front milk jugs off the bumper...
and nice lookin rig I love those wheels (I have the same ones )

2x. just wack them with a big hammer few times and you'll be done

front bumper that is...

looks good though.

"gorilla" something or other...you have to use a key to get them off. i needed new lugs anyway and wanted locks. that's what they had...seem good to me.

the jugs are coming off when i chop the bumper...hopefully this weekend. been short on time lately. had time to pull the flares one day. paint them another. still waiting on the chance to put them back on. they are still there in the first place b/c i was about to buy a new front bumper and wasn't going to waste my time with them, but i decided to get an air compressor instead.

i also have a new set of Hella 500s to mount on the windshield.

Must be nice to have Jeep budget.

haha....a jeep budget that is just about drained. maybe i'll have a little more to spend as soon as i can sell off some of the CJ stuff. still have a long way to go with this jeep.

awww come on do it the fun way, wack them with the biggest hammer you have.

O man.

I'm such a noob. When you say milk jugs, do you mean the fog lights or the hooks?

Should I wack mine off too? Can someone post a pic with them whacked off? If I do take them off, I'll do the hammer route just to show off to you guys.

See those funky plastic end caps on your bumper? Those are the milk jugs that are being talked about............... Loose them, or they will get ripped off from wheeling. You do wheel, right?

yeah they sitck out about 7 inches from where the metal of the bumper ends, they're incae u hit a pedestrian they get puched aside rather than run over, but once they leave teh factory its fine to take them off,
but keep the back ones
nad i also suggest cutting the bumper down to two incches on either side of the fog lights, looks way better (do it an an angle, /-------\ )

Milk jugs...


Thats what it looks without the jugs.

dont you mean backwards so its bigger on the top???? as hitting pedestrians goes. if they are on the street they deserve it so ram em as hard as you can

triple88a and bluviking,

Thanks!!

I wheel but I call it noob wheeling. Nothing crazy and out of my comfort zone. My wheeling is getting better and better as I practice more.

i will be doing the same thing with this bumper that i did with the one on my 02.....

haha that layer of clean ice looks so cool

Wheeling is wheeling any way you put it

x2

What size are you guys running? 15x8s? How much offset?

I also agree on the "Honey Glazed "look!
