where did you pick up those 6 bolt 16.5 rims ive been looking for some locally. NO GO . way to expensive to buy new. those 37s goodyear militarys are what im planning on running.

So how is it driving with the pineapple grenade shift knob? I thought about getting one but it looked like it would be kinda awkward.

I think those hundred dollar man rims are a good deal, I had the hardest time just finding steelies, finally found them at 4 wheel parts (who I hate) 75 bucks each.

I love the shifter! Its not uncomfortable at all

i got the rims from 4wheelparts (who i hate more than anything but they were the only ones that could get them) $300

lengthened my driveshaft and took it out for a little testing

need to do a little trimming on the front, rubs bad when flexing and turning.
back rubs top of fender but ill be adding more lift soon. and don't mind the fender cuts

ya i moved the front up 2 inches or so.
took it out yesterday for some night wheeling, did great! even drove it on the freeway to get there! i had lengthened my front driveshaft by cutting it in half and adding a piece of of pipe. ended up ripping it in half, but my booger welds held! time for a square front driveshaft

Roll those fenders so you dont cut your tires when you flex out on the trail. Seen that happen plenty of times.
