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.
great choice on tires.
and i think you need to get colormatched red and paint em red, or bedline them, and the rockers down. along with your bumpers and a set of your rims. that would look excellent.

I have lots of color match Duplicolor for the scratches and cutting lol. I like the molding black; it just needs to be reminded what color it was. Besides, I've already got black spraypaint. Once the lift is on, the molding is coming off. Then I'll bedline from the body line down. The bumper is also getting replaced when I get the money (getting one like neeland's), and it's gonna be bedlined. I'm looking for a cheap set of 15x8 wheels with 3.75BS in matte black for the new tires.

I might. I'll hit you up if I do.
My coworker/co-car guru has one he just picked up - bumpstop plates sound like the best thing to practice on. Flat plate to flat plate welding is as simple as it gets, and if they come out like **** whatever..
