Awesome Jeep, but what's with the mall crawler Yokohamas?

dirt pig · **Posted:** Sun Jun 28, 2009 2:30 am

They're actually Kumho's.

Yeah, still gotta work on that side of things.
I've got 17 inch rims, so not a lot of variety to choose from.
With the lift I will be able to go a bigger tyre, but still researching that one !!
Everyone seems to be working with a 16 inch rim.
So trying to calculate with the 17's is a brain-ache

It's easy to covert what guys are running from 16s to 17s. You just subtract 5 from the profile height. Eg. 245/75-16 is the same as 245/70-17. Piece of cake.

Wow !! Never heard of that before.

Thanks SkinInc

looks tight i just really dont like ur cb antennae placement, visual obstruction!

When I first mounted the aerial on the front, It seemed like there was a power pole following me everywhere I went !!
But after a day or 2, it dissapeared (not really). Now I just don't notice it at all.

Oh, by the way this is an export model, so the driver's side is on the right, aerial on the left. It gives a good indicator as to how close I am to the curb when parking!!

Just checked.. . This isn't 100% but on a liberty tire size it'll work

it seems like everyone with a nice red jeep paints the bumper to match

i like that pattern haha

antennas on the front are an easy way to keep them from breaking off due to branches

ARB Bumper only available in Black or metallic grey. None would suit the inferno red kj, so I had to get color-coding.
I think that's the only way to get a good looking ARB & Red KJ.

Awesome Jeep.

, Was wondering what is a crd stu 2.5 lift?

dirt pig · **Posted:** Tue Jun 30, 2009 1:48 am

CRDStu's Lift is a custom lift using OME Shocks and Custom made King Springs. ( King Springs are used by OME)
Available in Australia pretty much exclusively due to shipping costs.

I've just edited the pictures to allow you to see all the components of the CRDStu lift kit

The yellow spirngs look pretty cool. Don't see that too often.

Thank you for the pictures. I wish it wasn't so expensive to ship to the states.
