Take your time. It appears they are well guarded.

Roger that. Thankfully, he's a very good and loyal dog!

Yes, my wheels are here on time and as promised by Dave at Northridge4x4! Spyderlock beadlocks, 17x9.5, 8x6.5 bolt pattern - I really like them.






I like spiders:




I tried my best to find some used ones, but man these brand new ones sure are purty:



Too bad after a few runs they will look like the beadlocks on my son's rig:

Thanks Frank - I feel like a kid in a candy store! The hardest part of this build is trying to be patient while parts are ordered, delivered, and installed...Oh well, not too much longer.

Pretty funny you asked that, because my plan all along was to just rattle-can the wheels black when I got them, but when I looked at them tonight they look so good raw that I think I will keep them as is.

I like the look of the raw finish! If anything I think you could make the inside black , that way if/when they scratch the paint will be fine and protected on the inside and there will be nothing to come off on the outside. Just my of course.

Hey Dave! I'm planning on visiting the shop tomorrow to drop off some parts for my Jeep. I can't wait to see your Jeep.

Hey Tony, not much to see on the Jeep right now, but have Jim show you the axles and the tires - a lot of fun stuff there! If you are in town though, we should meet up - at least I can get your spill kits to you.
