CO Ketchup Build

[mushroomax]

I did some more shopping last month so parts have been trickling in over the last few weeks. New socks and shoes plus stronger steering:

Big hole in that box but thankfully no damage done.

Being a really plain dude, the red beadlock ring was a huge leap of faith for me, but glad I made the decision because I think they look super smooth baby ?

I think my back aged 10yrs in just a couple hours getting these mounted up and installed on the jeep

And since I have all these tires laying around in the garage now here's a comparison shot from left to right 40, 38, 37. Far right came off, middle is going on.

Kindly ignore the anit-seize splatter on that front passenger tire, you know the deal...it can even find its way between your toes, in your butt crack etc.

Tires handle great so far. I've gone 75mph with these Nittos, they're not even balanced yet and they ride smoother than the old set of balanced STT Pros I just took off.

Finally got this bish on the alignment rack, my measurements were almost spot on.

Then ordered up some Amazon razzle dazzle to keep dirty hands from destroying the steering wheel. The interior is just too nice compared to what I’m used to...a preemptive strike if you will. It does interfere with the heated steering wheel a bit but I’ll rock it for now.

You got a link for this steering wheel cover? Been needing to get one of these to keep the wife interested in the Jeep.

Beadlocks have been on the list since Day 1 and it was getting time for a new set of tires. It'll be interesting to see how the new mods shake out in the next few weeks!
