Looks nice man. Good to see your already getting her dirty. I am a bit unsure of the 34's with only 2.25". Even if you cut your fenders way up you will still rub when wheeling. You might look into picking up some coils and a add a leaf to combine with your spacers and shackles.

You'll be fine on the 34's and that lift as long as you bumpstop correctly. I run 33x10.50's on no lift and cut fenders just fine.

take the tow thing off front it kills ground clearance and get tow hooks for front and rear and 34s your gonna be cutting alot off post pics after all you cut off

Very nice. No lift with 33" tires? The fender trim looks very well done.

you should be fine with a BB and 34's. I ran 35's on 3 inches and it wheeled great. Keep the low center of gravity and the bigger tires were a combination I liked. Just don't be scared with the saw.

Easy E. The only thing I can suggest is for you to not wheel in areas that you do not know the owner and watch out down there. They get real bent out of shape around here and where you are if you do not have permission to be on peoples property. Powerlines in general are not legal wheeling spots.

well luckly i have friends with jeeps (much better than mine) to help me out through the process, also they have places they have built so we can all wheel together.

Yup, that's stock height on 33x10.50's. I did a decent job on the fender trim. It's a good 20-footer. The fronts are a lil' wavy in spots, and the rear was the cut/tab/fold method.

Thanks. Just to get a lil' more ground clearance, I'm still planning on throwing on my 3.5" lift. But the plan is to stick to 34" LTB's.

I like the lift plans... low, simple, and effective....

Them 34's are great pizza cutters.... mud ahoy!!
