Hey guys,

So, I will say it again, JEEP = Just Empty Every Pocket

I have been on my way to making my jeep something I walk out every morning, look at and love. I needed to be a statement of my mentality, of what I like and, to some degree what I need for certain work environments ( I'm a medic and a Search and Rescue Technician)

I had a call from the dealership who are finishing up my jeep, and they told me they were certain that the tires would not fit.

My tires:



So, I packed up and headed over to start, what i expected to be an arduous journey. I got to the dealership and asked to see the head mechanic working on the jeep, with the thoughts and what i've read on this forum, and what I've been told by many people, I shouldn't run into many problems, especially with the 2.5" lift.

So I was led into the garage, with my jeep ripped apart and the tire hanging freely from the vehicle being on thee hoist, I eyed it up and figured my self it would be fine, however they were not so sure. I was told they were going to put the old ones on and call it done, I told them know it will fit, to just try it.

They put the tire on and went, hmph, look at that, its does fit. Come to find out, this is why it has been taking so long, they were worried about lowering the jeep and it rubbing somewhere and doing damage, so I should be getting it back today.

Here it is with the tire on, it sits much higher then anticipated...


Looks good If I do say so my self, when I get it back the bumpers will be getting a trim, and the fenders with time permitting.

Thoughts?
