Well I finally rounded up the cash and went out to Shagwells to pick up the new tires and wheels. These will do just fine until I get new tires for my other wheels.

Id love to go up to 14.50's but I dont think my IFS will handle them. When I get around to doing the solid front axle swap and 14 bolt then Ill move up.

1/2 ton IFS doesn't really like 35/12.5's if you get too 'roudy. The black wheels look pretty good on the truck.

Thanks again man.

You on 33's now?

I'll probably go down to 33's when I have to. I'll need two new tires anyways, the rear two35's are brand new though, and figure then it may fit in the garage with 33's.

I'm on 6.5" lift, wasn't really looking to get rid of them, but I could.

Ok.. well I was just wondering.

Its not something I NEED right now since the tires are fine since it isnt running... and I would probably be looking for a tire/rim combo if/when that time comes since I dont like the wheels I have now.

nahh . like the time you guys spent 100 bucks on tow straps and asked me if i was buying one too , my response stays "nah , ill just let you buy it , and whenever i get stuck , you can pull me out :) saves money that way"


and shit if anything the jeep might be getting shut down fairly soon , probably get me a little HONDUHH as a DD and wait for a new tranny to drop outta the sky.

Pro-Mo just remember if you exit an axle you have to bolt the outer cup through the spindle to drive home. The unit bearing will fail w/o the it. - Usually it's the inner that breaks, if(when) it does, just take the axle out and remove the outer joint and bolt the cup back in.

You'll be fine in soft mud, it's when you catch hard surface with the tires spinning that gets you in trouble. We've put a buddy of mines Z71 through some serious hell on 35's and he hasn't had too many problems in the mud, rough trail riding is another story.

Thanks for the advice brotha, lucky for me the soft mud is what I like the most.
