    A lot of thinking time went into these and have to tell you folks how good the service was from National Tire and Wheel. These are perfect. A daylight picture is coming soon.

    Dang look at all those new bolts. I'd like to replace the studs and lug nuts. Is that very hard to do?

    I had to use my bungie cord for the battery so I grabbed some cooper wire for the tank.

    Yes, WHO would such a thing, Steve?R)

    Congrats on the new sneakers! That Jeep's looking good!

    Question - are those louvers in the front fender original? Don't recall seeing those before.

    Looks good. I should have used your gas tank idea. It would have saved me some $$$$$.

    thats thje 2 1/2" superlift. The stiffness is not nearly as noticable now with these tires. I think about 20 psi upfront and 15psi in the rear is going to be just right for around the house and rides into town.

    I've got the same tires on my CJ-5, but on 15X8 tires. Hope you don't have to do much winter/ice/snow driving. My tires don't like those conditions. They also get a little squirrely on wet pavement.

    Can't beat them in the mud though!

    I also can't tell by looking at them if they are low on air. The sidewalls are very stiff. And they tended to wear funny, but that could have been my lack of routine rotation.

    The combo looks real nice on your rig!
