I had it geared for the 35's. It runs alot better now with the right tires. Didn't really lose any power. Able to run over 50 mph now though. lol

Jeeps looking good man! The paint job turned out pretty good I might have to do a similar setup but with black, I've got an 88 too with the same tires on my rig as your setup.

Started putting in the new seats today. What a mess. Had to go get new electric frames. What luck that was. AMC Salvage had a driver and passanger that worked.. Then BS Sand had to custom biuld the seat mounts. Long day but a productive one. Here are some pictures.
Old seats:


The old driver frame. If you look close you can see where its broke in 3 places.

The new electric frame.

Biulding brackets,

The brackets completed and powder coated,

And the new seats installed.

All I can say about the seats is AWSOME!!!! Very comfortable. Worth the money. BS Sand took a little longer that planned but I am very happy with the end result. If you are looking to upgrade I highly recommend them! If you are interested contact Judy at 480-232-8840. I paided $600 for seats and brackets.They are also doing my sun visours to match the seats.

Well got a few pictures of my front bumper today. Doc said it should be finished up tommarow. Figured I'd give you all a update.




Take it easy out there. I'll keep you updated.
