Hit the snow yesterday after getting the tires on... used mid 70's 1/2 ton Dodge 2wd rims w/ dog dish hub caps... looks pretty good to us! Need to do a little trimming, and BB soon, but as long as we don't flex 'er too much for now, we'll be good to go...

Going to buddie's property in Lyons today to play in the mud...:wave1:

Have fun washing it! Rocks and snow for me, more cleaner.

You might want to consider a 3" lift instead of the 2". Unless you add some good sized bumpstops 31's will probably rub. Ask me how I know.

Thanks...dare to be different! I'm a MOPAR nut, so any chance I get to use Mopar parts... besides, Jeeps are Mopars by default nowadays, aren't they?!?

looks like you and my cousin have similar taste. his are the slotted cop car wheels though with the hub caps with the little holes in them.

Mid 70's Ramchargers had an optional 15x8 steel wheel... had a set on my '71 big-block Charger, with the cop dogdishes... looked cool...

Looks like with a little trimming you won't even need a lift.

I think I'm gonna do V8 ZJ springs and an S10 main leaf AAL, and ZJ front shocks with MJ rears, then do bumpstops as needed... been doing my homework... the offset of the Dodge wheels is less than optimum... will play with it 'till we git 'er right...
