Just might have to air them down a little to get out of the garage when I am done. Oh well....

How did this go? I did this last weekend along with a stubby bumper. I did the the bumper and one flare on Saturday. Two flares on Sunday. One flare on Wednesday. And a winch on Thursday.

I was really disappointed with Americas Tire. I brought up the wheels for them to mount and balance them while I worked on my fenders. They were done in about an hour, picked them up, brought them home. I took them out of the truck and 3 out of the 4 tires had their weights about to fall off. One was literally flapping, one still had the glue tape stuck underneath, and the 3rd was really loose. I went back and pitched a fit. They took care of me right away, but what was really disappointing was I had to tell them to do a 3rd tire a THIRD time. Their attention to detail was horrible.
I broke a pinky taking my 35's out of the truck and it bounced up and jammed it really bad. Swollen as a sausage and totally black and blue now.

Now I am starting to save for the next upgrade....

They are really good about pointing out rebates. The tires I just picked up had an $80 one. Whoot!
Take care - Greg

4-Wheel Parts in Sacramento, but that's quite a drive for you.
Extreme Gear as mentioned in a different thread.
WFO is in Auburn I believe which is quite a bit closer to you.
There are other places too. Magnussen's jeep in Auburn is a "mod-friendly" dealership! They are a great place for factory parts and sevice! Plus, they give a discount for membership with CA4WD.
