Default New "hiking shoes"

Well thanks to fellow forum member, brknmach my JK got a rubi tires/wheel upgrade. Its not ultimately what I want but at least it will give me some traction in the meantime so I can hopefully get out with all you other members in NorCal soon. Thanks again Matt!!! My JK definitely looks better now as my neighbor said "wow you jeep looks mean and TUFF now..." lol...

Getting rid of upgraded (245/75/16) X wheels/tires with TPMS if anyone knows of someone looking to upgrade from steelies... ad in for sale section and on local CL

I wish I could cash in BabiesRUs gift cards for tires, then I could get a pretty sweet setup...

I used a rough country winch mounting plate http://www.roughcountry.com/winch_mounts_jk.html
its pretty easy to install but you will losy your tow hooks thats why I also bought the D rings from them that are made to attach to the plate. Now there aer som many bumpers out there if I had to do it again I would just put the money towards a new bumper. Let me know if you want any close-ups of my set up...

Thanks.
I am already planning on spending a small fortune on some tires, added inch of lift... and gearing, so I want to cut a corner where I can.
...A good bumper is another grand.

Close ups would be cool.
