    Looking good Steve. BTW, the negatives we hear about wheel spacers are usually from people who have never used them. I've had 1 1/4" spacers on the front and 2" spacers on the rear for about 6 years and have no issues with them.

    You posted the image's URL, but you shouldn't have to click on it.

    Can you see them now (without clicking)?

    are the new tires still 35"? it's weird that the tread design would change so much that you have to get wheel spacers and cut fenders for the same size tire.

    If you're using the Photobucket app... Copy the direct link, not the URL link, however, both should work.

    I removed the URL portion from your post.

    So ,, SWAY is still moving along ,,, I picked up a set of 8.8 MSD wires and that mad a HUGE difference in how smooth the jeep is running , the oldTaylor wires were really probably over 18 yrs old ...... it was a good test I changed nothing else and could tell dramatic improvement ,,,,,Still running a holley 390 I converted to a T/A..... runs great ...

    I was having trouble with the lugs of the new MTRs catching on the fender braces ,so all the hat channel was removed and the tires are smoothly are polishing the inner fenders now. I also had to slightly clearance the rear well openings since the new MTRs are bigger ...

    frame still has no cracks ,,,, I am really surprised with how good it twists up .....

    BDS 3" cj7 springs are really flat but work well .....

    changed my pivot point around on my old style chain AA clutch set up and got it easier to push in ...

    I will try to load more pics of SWAY doing her thing
