Ha yeah, I could see that maybe that made it easier to read.
She told me to call it the "f***ing home-wrecking b****" but I don't think I can do that as a moderator. (she didn't have nice things to say about him either)

I woulda thought that moderator status would have carried at least the perk to call it precisely what your wife said

Nah I'm not gonna go 32's

30's are fine, I thought I'd found a slightly used set last night, but couldn't make the deal. With the clutch fix I'm no longer wary of any issues with it.

Had them in my amazon cart for the longest, and the price would jump around. I'd keep checking back. You got her bout where you want her now huh? Or really does it ever end lol

Got the front arms on all total took about 3hrs. Had an issue with getting one ball joint out so I owe @joeymt33 one. The spacing on the mounting points has been SLIGHTLY OFF 1/16" maybe on one front and one rear, not so much it can't be "massaged" to to place

Pushed alignment WAY out, I don't have a lift or shock spacers and for all the geometry it took 15mm on the front and 18mm on the rear of the lower arm to get correct caster camber according to install instructions.

I'm happy with it, using Joey's spare to test fit, I can fit TRUE 30" tires front and rear on a 5+2 offset and I think it'd only rub at full lock and under compression on the front. With a 3.5+3.5 offset I don't think it'd rub at all.





Followed the recommendation of routing the brake line over and in front of the upper arm instead of behind and under where it can get crushed/crimped by the control arm.

I'll be replacing them with Jaks braided lines as soon as I can get around to it.



"Best foot forward" or "Favors the right hand side"

Itching for some tires now.



Thanks @joeymt33 enjoy the beer.

HA ! END???

Tires/Wheels, Shocks, Rear winch(which means exhaust and programmer), then maybe a stereo for some tunes.

Have a few small projects here and there have a 25watt Baofeng Radio showing up Monday I got on $82 warehouse deal.

That looks great! The wheels I ordered have a 3.5/3.5 offset. Hoping they clear ok. Can't wait to see it in person.

I am READY to be hanging out riding, work I KNOW I going to be crazy this week, and I'll be distracted M-Th.

I think I'm either going with the "JoeySetup" for wheels simple because they are the absolute CHEAPEST bead locks out there and they don't look bad or going to go with MSA 31 LOK. You can only get the MSA31 in 3.5+3.5.

Fun day and a fairly speedy and easy job.

What beer? Oh that beer, it's been gone before you even got out of the driveway!

Just paint your wheels pink and then they won't look like mine!

I've got 15" series 1 rockstars on the way. Never was a huge fan of the look of beadlocks.

Yeah but those bead locks are CHEAPER than most non bead locks and my wheel edges are beat to hell and back already.

Oh I get their purpose, I don't need them up here though. If I lived down there I'd definitely run them.

I'm considering Terrabites, but price is a factor. I'll prob end up with Blackwaters, but their 32" (30" estimated real height) has to have a 15" wheel I think right?

LightTruck tires aren't very light.

I think those 30" Roctanes on a wheel weigh twice what the factory front tire weighs.

Yes they are 3" taller and an inch wider on paper.

30x9.5x15 bfg or federal cougaria. Those are a bit lighter than the BFG and cheap great all around tires.
