Dana 35 Lockrite
Chromoly rear axle shafts
4.88 gears front and rear
SYE Adapter
Tom Wood's custom rear drive shaft
Mickey Thompson 32" tires
2.5" Rancho Rockcrawler lift
Warn front and rear diff covers
Warn rock sliders
Warn front and rear bumpers (with rear tire carrier)
Warn 8000 winch

Yeah, they're 285/75R16. They're about 32" tall or so the MT website says. I haven't actually measurement them myself.

Liz is complaining that she can't get in the Jeep now because it's too tall. So the Jeep's just about the right height. :)

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Hope to see you all on the trails soon.

You know what, the tires might actually be 265/75R16. I'm having a senior moment and can't remember what I put on it. Doesn't help that the Jeep's been in the shop ever since I got the tires put on two weeks ago. I'll check the tires when I get the Jeep back tomorrow.
