Yeah, always another deal on there. $400 for my 32s on R/T wheels Nitto a/ts, 90% tread, best deal I've gotten. Just check daily, you'll get the jump on some deal. I'm still looking for 33s ha ha.

Not to worried about the 31's as I am a nice set of stock rims. I found another set yesterday, but the guy wants $600 just for the rims! Most of the tire/rim combos I have seen have stock 235/75/15's or 16's. Which is fine since I do not have any lift yet. If I could find a f'ing job, then I could at least put the 2" spacers on so I can go out and play!!!
Well, at least you have 1 good spare!

Wow! Must have been some nice wheels. Interesting, my stock size spare was 245x70x15. I would stick with 15s, that's for sure.
I have plenty of spares, 2 33, the 31, a 245, a bias ply 60s car tire, and a few more ha ha.

Lol... Guess your covered then!!
I did find a set of TJ 15's, but they guy is stuck at $200 just forthe rims. I mean, if I can get rims and tires for $250 or less, then why would I spend that on just rims? I heard that if I sand down and scuff my stock ZJ rims, they can be primed then painted. Since I want flat black, would be way to do, and if they get scratched, it's an easy fix! Lol

Yeah, just a little. That's crazy, the rubicon wheels are $350-400. I wouldn't spend $200 on TJ wheels that's for sure. You can paint them pretty easy. My neighbor has a 94 ZJ and he picked up some XJ rubicon looking wheels and painted them black. They look pretty good, didn't take much to clean, scuff and paint them.

Tried cleaning off the washer sensor and it goes off for a little while but comes back on again. Then off and on, pushing my last nerve that's for sure.

I may just do that to my stocks... It is definitely cheaper for one, and like I said, if I scuff them, all it tkaes is a little spray pain to cover it up! LMAO
I will still keep looking, only because I really like the "5" star look of the TJ wheels. I would like to stick with 15's, so hopefully when the time is right ( and I have the cash) I can find a set... When all is said and done, I want my rig painted gun metal grey, the plastic trim will be either grey or black Rhino Liner (just for the hell of it), black bumpers, smoked windows, and black grill... Of ocurse, that may change between now and when I actually do it... I thought about going black Rhino all over like this F350 I saw a few years ago, then I thought about flat black all over... So who knows, by the time I do it, I may go bright yellow or Kawasaki Green!
Do you know a good way to clean the headlight plastic?? Mine are crap, and I can't afford tobuy replacements right now... I found some for like $70 each (new), then I saw a set on ebay for like $100 but of course I missed them! I know there has to be a way to clean them up a little...

Finally got my "Rear Lamp Failure" to stop screaming at me today!! I took the rear covers off, check all my bulbls, and found that the left tail/brake light was semi bad. By semi bad I mean, the brake light was working off and on. I just happen to be at Autozone and had the guy help me check the lights, when I stepped on the brake he tapped the cover and it went out. So, I popped an new bulb in and it is gone! As for the damn coolant sensor... Still there driving me absolutley nuts!! My reservoir and radiator are full, so my next purchase will be the reservoir sensor, hopefully after I replace it will shut the hell up!! The one on the thermostat is only a couple months old...

Painting is the way to go. Looks good, easy fix and cheaper than new wheels. I like my silver wheels with the dark green paint job but that's just me.
Sounds good to me. So rhino line from the cladding down? If I didn't already have custom green metal flake paint, I would go gun metal gray.
I've heard the headlight buffers work good. Just wax, a drill, and the buffing ball. I should clean mine too, there pretty cloudy. The kits are pretty cheap, from what I've been told but not sure.

Yeah, I need to get my taillights off again and clean off the bulbs really good. Check the sockets and bulbs for cracks. Guy at the parts department at Jeep said to make sure the wiring harness for the lights is clean and fully connected. Or the bulbs could be broken at the base but still lighting up.
My washer sensor is a mystery, changed three times. Cleaned it a little the other day and it goes off sometimes, so I'm on the right track. Need to get a toothbrush out and really clean it good.

Make sure you don't use your Wife's or Girlfriend's toothbrush!!
Yeah, Rhino from the cladding down. Wierd, but different. Like I said, I saw an F350 at a Good Guy's Car show,took me a minute to figure out what the hell it was, but it was bad a$$!!! It was pretty think too, but I guess like that you would never have to worry about scratches...
I will see if I can find the website for you to look at...
I like flat colors on 4x's. Before I sold my Ram, I was going to have it painted flat garnet red, which was the original color. I was goingto go flat black tail pipes on the Magnaflow 3" exhaust I had on it.

Ehh she has it coming, I mean nothing ha ha.
Yeah, I've seen a k5 with half rhino liner body looked pretty good. Seems like a good idea to me, with flat paint. Easy paint repair and no tree branch scratches.
Sounds good to me. The metal flake looks good, if it's clean, but I wouldn't do it again. I like the newer flowmaster with flat black paint and diamond plate casing. Is that red, the Florida State red?
