knobturner? cant really tell

[blackcherryxj]

That's definatly nathan. Can tell by that ugly bedcoating on the side.

On a different note, I definatly saw Sammi91 at Cheers in Paducah on their way to TB. I was in a official car and didn't want to stop and chat, but it looks like they were loaded up and ready for a good time.

[theugly88]

You're just jealous that you don't have any on yours. :p I've only had it at Turkey twice now and have nice mother nature inspired pin striping on my green paint on both sides. The bed coating does not though. It's doing it's job. :D

Yeah yeah. That Miller welder is an awesome piece of equipment right? :p Still remains to be seen if the bumper will take a pull. Especially when the winch finally gets mounted. :eek:

Looks like mine for sure. It was a whole lot easier to tell before I painted it though. Glad it's not that way anymore. I had a feeling when I saw the thread title and saw who started it, that it was my heep that had a candid picture taken. I better be on my best behavior. I never know who's watching. Lol :D Did you take this yesterday?

Hopefully Monday the 4th will be put on. The spare will come soon enough. For a spare I'm going with a 16" JY rim off an Explorer and a 285/75/16. That size appears to be easy to find in a good used all terrain, since a some of the full size trucks have them that size stock.

good idea. no point having a brand new same tire as a spare.. itll rarely see the ground.. your further thn me thats for sure.. mine dont want to stay going long enough to be useful... any good auto trans for my XJ in the boneyards up there?

I like the idea of having 5 matching rims and tires, especially when I get my rear bumper built with the tire carrier, but they only had 4 of the wheels at Lane Rd. and I don't know if I can find a matching 5th very easy. If you have a matching set of 5 you can incorporate the spare in the rotation and get a lot more miles out of your set of tires. As far as transmissions, at Paducah Auto Salvage they have a 94 that had an auto. It could be gone now. I'm trying to get to Lane Rd. Auto Salvage. Last time I was there, they had a few XJ's and even an MJ or 2. I don't remember what transmissions any of them had though.

if you could find out id gratefully appreciate it.. thanks.. so long as its not computer controlled ill be golden!

[blackcherryxj]

Which rim are you running Nathan? I've got a matching set of 5 of the grizzly style rims or whatever you wanna call them.

I'd gladly sell them to you, but they come with 4 tires mounted on them :)

[knobturner75]

Here's a shot of them when I set them next to the Jeep to see how it's gonna look. Now remember that I bought these wheels at Lane Rd. for $25 a piece without tires on them, I had them remove the tires as part of the deal. :D They're 15" x 8.5" with a 3.25" back spacing.

They are the rims in the picture there. That's my jeep for sale, but I'm not selling it with those rims on it, gonna swap out rims.

Let me know if you wanna buy those rims, they have 30x9.5r15 BFG KM mud terrains on them. I'm ready to start getting rid of alot of my jeep parts and such.

Nathan, I took the picture a few days ago in the wife's car headed home. It was Thursday afternoon. i'd just dropped the TJ off at Sears to have my Duratracs mounted up. 265/75-16s M/B with lifetime Rot/Bal for $748 + $100 TreadLightly rebate and $20 GY rebate. I'll be down to $628 on them... not bad at all IMO
