I had to Dremel off a couple of sections of the airdam under the front bumper and I know that before I take it off the pavement I'll have to hammer down the pinch weld but for now....YEEHAWW!!!

Tried to fix it for you - and found out you can't hotlink from Yahoo. You'll have to post them elsewhere, like imageshack (my fav) first.

Welcome to the 265/75R 16 goodyear MT/R club,that's what I'm running.They really make a KJ look mean.what type of rims and backspacing are you running?I'm running 16"x8" rims with 3.75" backspacing and only have front rub near the beaten down pinchweld area at full lock(got the skyjacker lift with the new soft ride coils and hate them,need to get frankinlifted!!!).

pixeldzn: thanks for the help and the heads up on imageshack

tjkj2002: wheels are the upgraded polished wheels that were available for the '05 Sports...I have no idea what the backspacing is but for the street I only rubbed a bit in reverse on the airdam which I trimmed.

the ride is so much better with these heavier stiffer tires...can not WAIT to get some dirt under'em :P

All you had to do to fit the 265's was trim the air dam and beat back the pinch weld?


Actually, all I had to do was trim the air dam. I just know before I go wheelin' I'll have to get that pinch weld down. For now it's not giving me any rubbing.

Good to hear Seth. Saw your post on the 'Coke Ovens Run' thread and I'm ready to go. I'm only running 235/75-16s on stock height but it should still be fun 8)

Kevin - I went through Box Canyon (the Florence one not the one near Wickenburg), Broken Arrow in Sedona and the back road to Crown King...all on stock 235/60 SR-As and stock height. It'll be nice to not hear all that bangin' and thumpin' under me :oops: :P

Lookin' forward to that Coke Oven run. I've been wanting to get out there and take some pictures since I first heard about it.
