What did you do to your Cherokee today?

No, I don't lick fish.
Pretty sweet deal... I'm just a little leary about spacers though unless they're HC... heard a lot of bad things about the extra leverage on the studs... although, I guess it's not much different than having very little backspacing and/or 10" wide rims.

They install exactly the same, it's just that on the hubcentric spacers, the cutout for the hub is the same diameter as the hub so that the weight and leverage of everything is on the hub where it's stronger... on lugcentrics, the cutout for the hub is bigger than the hub so it makes all of the weight and leverage fall on the lugs

Didn't do it today, but I rolled it on Sunday. And got it on the dashcam. Then drove it to work last night.

Tweaked the roof a bit where rack is mounted. But no glass, or pillar damage. And one slightly bent wheel. Since Noone got hurt, and jeep is good. It's ok to say it was pretty fun.
