a few weeks after i found the rims i also found a very used set of 35x12.50x17 dick cepek mud tires on craigslist. since my truck wasnt street legal i had to improvise on how i was going to get them home.

this is my buddys jeep flexing on my tire. the other is the rear view with a small flex. i noticed that anymore flex and my tires would rub the frame. gonna need some spacers soon.

In my experience (which isnt very extensive) the best deals come from either the people you know, or really stupid people you dont know..

oh yeah. very true. However the stupid people can cause you more headache then its worth sometime. unless its a 100 or 500$ buy. ive got blocks up front currently...haha. had a haggard bumper bolted/welded to the frame. that was fun...

not a stupid guy by any means. but the prior owner had some interesting lift ideas.
