I have about 100 more miles before changing dif oil then it'll be time to go wheel!!
Looking good... question.. What did you paint your rims with? Wheel on or off?? Durable??

I used the Walmart brand bed liner in the rattle can. Duplicolor is the only name I can think of right now but I think that's the autozone brand. I took the wheels off the jeep scuffed them up cleaned em off, aired down the tires and inserted index cards so they overlapped between the bead and tire then sprayed away. 4 coats and it holds up well, no nicks from daily driving

and the report I read said that the reason that he had the wreck was that he had a heart attack, thus it's possible that the wreck wasn't the reason for his death, the heart attack may have been.

Yeah, his wife was the passenger, she walked away. He had a heart attack while driving, went across traffic and ran into a tree on the drivers side. The wreck into the tree didnt seem that major so it is very likely that it was the heart attack that was the cause of death.

PSC BFH bumper with trail stinger came in today, i will take pictures of it tomorrow and post them up. it looks amazing. My shackles also came in from PSC.

Then for the Offroad Evolution rear frame d-ring mounts...i have been in contact with Andrew at EVO today and he is coming up with new mounting plates for it, so he will be machine-ing them up and send me the first set. He said the process will take around 2 weeks. The other option was send them back, but he said he would have to make new plates for all the other newer jeeps that buy them anyways. He doesnt even want the old plates back so now i have decoration in my room! haha. Offroad Evolution is an amazing shop. They will have my business as much as i can keep handing out cash.
