Been doing allot of work on the Jeep lately.
Finally got the funds together for the lift, added ProComp rims, and the JCR Stage 3 rock rails are on the way. :pepper: :BANANA:

So, a little pictorial history is in order......

The day I brought it home... October 3, 2010. 2004 Liberty with 38K miles on the odometer.
Image

First things first.... new tires.... 235/70/16 Firestone Destination AT's...
Image

Then came the wiring and switches for the additional lighting.
Image

Then the custom made (by me) light bar & roof lights.
Image

Added an OTIS....
Image

.... and a Custom CB...
Image

... then a roof basket...
Image

... Then last weekend.. the biggie... All J's / Jeepin' by Al "custom" lift (Frankenlift with Al's UCA's up front, JBA rear components)
Image

... and FINALLY..... ProComp bead lock rims
Image

Ordered JCR rock rails Tuesday... took advantage of their current special pricing.
Those will be going on after Thanksgiving sometime.
Now.... I just need to find skid plates on the cheap, and it'll be done........

yeah..... right :seuss:

I'm still undecided if I'm going up a size or two in tires when the AT's are ready to be replaced.
I'm kinda diggin' the way it looks at the moment.

Looks great!!!

Do you have tow hooks yet?

As for tires, it looks pretty good as is, but just because you can, I'd go up at least one or two sizes.

Looking good.
Definately go a couple sizes up in tires when they're ready to be replaced. Firestone ATs in 245/75/16 will look good.

Agree, however General Grabber AT2's will look even better.

and they work well. they've taken me everywhere that other jeeps with mud terrains had trouble with, and that includes thick mud. Main downfall is that theyre heavy as a mother.
