It was 12 degrees when I took the pic with a cold north wind, so I did it the quickest way. If I get a chance on Monday, I'll try to swap them out for a test run.

There isn't a whole lot of tread left on these, so they would burn off pretty quick if I drove them every day. It does give me a pretty good feel of what 35's will be like when I put them on later, though.

Actually, you already have some tires lined up, right?

O/T: Did you ever find the hardware for your engine skid?

Was going to make some crack about jeepers being tough... but decided I better not LOL.

Those are about 65% tread, but bias TSL's are only good for about 10K new if taken care of.

Now hurry up and put them on, did you go with 9.5" wheels?

They are 16x8's. They look like they fit perfectly. I think I'll put them on Monday and take it for a spin.

You should have had those wheels and tires during the lift party. Maybe Aaron could have snapped a stud in half installing them

BTW is anyone missing a 3/8 ratchet from the install party. I have an extra one in my tools
