Post subject:  My new toy.
Sorry I haven't been around much lately. My fiance started driving the KJ around full time when her truck died. This in turn left me with on minor problem.... She likes the KJ the way it sits and doesn't wheel it. This left me with nothing to spend my money on and nothing to mod. So after some sweet talking I conned her into letting me get an 89 XJ 2dr and have started modding it a little here a little there. I somehow managed to bypass the strangle hold she has on my wallet to get new wheels and tires. I ended up with a set of soft 8's with 33x13.5x15 Pitbull Rockers.
Here's the way it sits now.

Yea they are. Just about every review I have read has been positive. I'll let you know about the off-road test when it happens in Nov. My work schedule is jam packed untill then. Stupid full time jobs :x They have cool road noise too :D

I wouldn't call it Wrangler jealousy. I would call it lack of A/C and the XJ's put a ton of heat through the floorboards. That and I like the open air feel without having the burning sun feel. I have read nothing but good reviews on these tires. Hopefully they will make something that will fit on the KJ's someday so not only will my KJ and XJ have matching stickers but matching tires. :D

Your missing a couple lug nuts.:D Don't know what rear axle you have, but even if it is the D35 or the 27spline 8.25 stock, don't expect it to last long. Even if the front D30 is stock, you will be blowing UJoints and other parts if you wheel in the rocks with those tires. Some of the hard core CO4x4 guys with seriously built axles loved their performance in the rocks and preferred them over any other tire in the rocks, but the traction was so good, they were tearing up built D44 and D60's, and that was only with 36 or 37" Pitbulls (can't remember which size of the two they came in). Just be aware to go REAL easy if the axles are stock, until you can seriously beef them up, with something like D44, 9", or bigger.
