Drove 45mins in the snow to pick up tires. Then came home and mounted them.
Went from 30x9.5 15s to 33x11.5 16s. :twisted:

Continued working on an engine swap in a friends 97 xj. Origional engine threw a rod or has a bad lifter or something so it's days were numbered as it had a horrible tap. Took the engine out the beginning of the week, and just got the replacement engine, trand and t-case back in it tonight. Started disassembling the origional engine cause i'm gonna do a 4.7 stroker with it. Pulled the vaulve cover and found some serious engine sludge, fun fun.

Upgraded my halogen bulbs on my Hella headlamps, installed a set of philips x-treme vision bulbs, they are super white, I'm stoked on how much better they are than the stock Hella H-4 55/60 halogens.

Took my rear factory fender flares off only to find a big rusty hole. I thought it looked weird with the rear fender flares on without the front....which I cut.
