My concern is liability related, kinda like not repositioning my 3rd brake light to be clearly seen after my LoD rear goes on.....

Say I crash and do huge damage to people and property... in the course of the analysis it is realized that I removed safety equipment from my vehicle which could be related to the crash... and whallah, there's LIABILITY.

Likely, problably not. Possible, probably so. Might be a good topic to discuss by creating a new thread...

I am seriously considering buying them online via a forum sponsor from AZ.... shipping is high, but no sales tax. They will however mount, balance, even install TPMS sensors and deliver to my dock on a pallet.

My only other decision is TF BB or 2.5" spring kit... and after learning some things watching the ramp.... this isn't as easy a choice as one would think.
Are you talking about Discounttiredirect? I thought I read that free shipping is back.

I was gonna say that awhile back but I kept my lips sealed!

I can tell you I am cool but I run BFG Mud's...... SGT you're cool in my book whatever that is worth.

Even though my idol is a Toyo guy
I will switch to Toyo's once these 35's are a done deal, but that means I am gonna need new rims to . My 16's aren't gonna cut it, maybe I will rock the steelies

Yes. If that's the case, I need to get those ordered.

They couldn't get Toyo... any they offered KM2... once I saw the cost difference, it made me think.

As proven by the ramp day, you'll see I am second to last. I have no desire to win the ramp.... just to be reliable on the trail. I figure 2.5" lift and 33s should require no additional "mandatory" upgrades...

Thanks Jake, (I mail out the check for saying that later today)...

Yea, if I ever get these to wear out I will probably change them out. Problem is I keeping getting two new ones every couple of months......

I have that same issue with two tires only wanting to wear.......

Oh and the check is not necessary this time!
Alright down to the garage I go for a sidemarker mod and take a look at some details to cut my fenders down even more. After seeing Mikey1989's fenders at the Ramp event I went out and purchased everything necessary to get mine done. Damn it! Gotta love it one mod leads to another.

I am planning on taking pics!

Gears are very nice! I love the fact that I don't have to stand in the pedal as aggresive on the freeway. I just hop I can get 300 miles on them and drained before the Anza run.

As for the Teraflex 4inch flex arm lift and JE Reel 1350's they are in the garage until I can get a couple of friends to assist me in learning how to install them. I just dont have the tools, garage space, knowledge to do it.

My RockHard cage has not arrived yet but as soon as it does it is off to get powdercoated. Someone was doing a write-up but has been to busy to post it .

How crappy will my life be with 35's , 3.73s and 6 spd.? in relatively hilly RSM, Mission Viejo (relative to Anaheim that is).

Part of me says go with 33's and save for gears, but then, in reality, I would be saving for 35's and gears and I would have to wait until the 33's wore out to move up.

I am tired of the stock SRA's and I am hoping for a Jeep Christmas!
