Lol.. well I can't drive mine anyway. I'm in a different state til next week for work, and I've driven it 25 miles since the needle dropped below E. I'm hoping it can get me home when I get back.


Since I'm out-of-state for work, today I compared pics from when I bought it to how it sits currently:

Day 1:


Still the same, minus the wheels:


Now:

Original wheels and tires are in my closet. I bought it with winter tires on, and they started disintegrating from the pavement. I swapped em quick with the 10-holes (4 wheels and tires for $250 at a JY). Two of those went flat, so I picked up the 5 215/75s on wheels from a member for $27 (but one was just punctured this week from highway debris at 5am, so my spare is on). I'm looking for 31" Firestone Destination M/Ts, but I'm keeping the originals, too. I have 5 wheels on the Jeep, five in my closet, my four 10-holes sitting in there without tires. And I like the side molding cause I can let go of my jack handle, and it connects with the plastic. I'm gonna rattlecan it black, though.

Flares? What flares? lol
I thought about bedlining it [the molding], but paint is cheaper, and I'll probably take it off after I lift (or when I get a HiLift) cause it won't be useful anymore.
[EDIT] Once I do that, I'm gonna bedline from the body line, down.
