New Jersey and the Tri States Roll Call

[Duece McCracken]

I am getting new wheels and tires in the next week or so. Would anyone be interested in my old wheels and tires? Hate to just give them to the tire place as there is a little life left in them. Although I don't have the capacity to move Five 37's mounted on wheels.

Stock Rubicon JL Wheels, all 5 Scratched up pretty bad, 37" Patagonia MTs that have a little, but not much life left, I guess the tire place would have to move the TPMS to the new wheels and tires?

Or just better to let them go? Not looking for any $$$, just figured maybe a good fit for someone.

Howdy neighbor! Im kinda interested, any pics?

Happy Wednesday or Hump Day for you working Jeepers out there.

I received the shocks for the 2500HD, but had to help a fellow Jeeper that owns a landscaping business. It turned out, he does commercial property and the equipment was bigger than anything I've ever used. He cut me loose. I was fine with it since waking up early is not my thing. LOL

I took a nap and was up again around 11. The shocks were replaced and had never owned a 2500, I assumed the heavy truck handled bad. The shocks were bad. They didnt rebound. A day and night difference after the swap.

Jeep related. I moved the GMRS antenna out to the fender A pillar corner after reading the antenna shouldnt be mounted inside the Jeep. Not sure which way to run the cable yet.

This weekend, I will mock up my camping setup and sleep in the Jeep for a night.

PS. I remembered why I dont buy dark color vehicles. A quick wash of the truck turned into a 4 hour project.

Thats all.

Have a great night and thanks for stopping by.

Zeke.

If Duece doesn’t take the tires let me know. I have a friend who is in need of 37’s and may take them off your hands just to get her by for a while.

What wheel / tire combo are you going with?

Sticking with the Patagonia MTs.... at $100 less per tire then other MTs, and being pretty happy with the last set... why not.

For Wheels (American Racing Bajas):

Easy to add black paint when I scratch them up!

See the pics I posted. I don't have a way to move them.

You definitely got your moneys worth out of them!!!

I will pass on them, I can probably help get them to another local-ish Jeeper though. Pretty sure they'll fit in the back of the gladiator.

No problem, @GRyde717 is also interested. I hope to get new ones put on next week, so anyone interested would need to pick up from the tire shop.

New shoes is always a good time! Heck, I'm even excited for you right now, lmfao!

I need to go bigger.

How were the 37's on the stock rims? I'm going to search that topic, but figured I'd ask you as well, lol!

Happy Friday night, Jeep Folks.

I adjusted my front control arms. 5 turns out on the uppers and 5 turns in on the lowers. The vibration went away, but I never got her above 50 mph.

I wired the GMRS antenna too. I just went through the corner piece and down the driver's side kicker panel.

Rattle canned the new scrapes too.

I still have a few things to tweak, but I'm sure, I'll be ready to go next Friday morning.

Thats all for today.

Have a great night and thanks for stopping by.

I used spacers.. but other than that no problems.

Happy Saturday night.
Tornado warnings at the moment.

It got up to 71° today. I took Lila out for a spin today. She is all over the road at 45 mph. Thats fine. The front pinion is good.
I tweaked my winch plate a while back and removed the bumper to straighten it out.
Thats all today. Hopefully nothing gets picked up and thrown around in the high winds tonight.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great night.

Hail here. Hopefully no damage. Ugh

 

[Duece McCracken]

Oh, and the Wife and I are going to go hit the Two Towers loop in Jackson a few times tomorrow. All the rain today should make it interesting.
