#17875 of 23234 Changing Wrangler Tires... by gsyoung1960 Jun 06, 2005 (5:34 am)
I'm taking delivery on my new unlimited tonight, and spoke to the local GoodYear dealer. They said they would swap out my existing 30" GoodYear Wrangler GS-A's with 31" GoodYear Wrangler RTS's for $19.07/tire plus balancing, and warranty.   Anyway know if this sounds like a good swap?   Will I be getting a better/worse tire? (FYI, I'll be doing mostly on-road driving).   Thanks, Scott Replies to this message: mac24 (Jun 06, 2005 6:38 am)
#17876 of 23234 Door Entry Guards/Sill Plates by randyace Jun 06, 2005 (5:54 am)
Okay...I've now found the first thing needed for eXcalibur. I've already inadvertently hit the bottom edge of the sill plate with my boots, leaving a few scuff marks (which I can rub away, if I remain careful).   Was searching the Mopar website, and saw their door entry guards, which I suppose to be reasonably priced, "may" require the door(s) to be shimmed.   Need advice...I KNOW there are drivers out there like me (no names...Tom) whom such scuffs would bother, and most likely have the scuff guards installed....was it necessary to shim the door adjustment?   Thanks.   Randy Replies to this message: mac24 (Jun 06, 2005 6:19 am) tsjay (Jun 06, 2005 6:21 am) keats (Jun 06, 2005 6:24 am)

Replying to: randyace (Jun 06, 2005 5:54 am) You can fit them yourself, they just stick on. I've had them on for years and can highly recommend them. No shimming required for me, not even close.

Replying to: 99tj (Jun 05, 2005 10:26 pm) 99Tj,   Finally a response to the spy photos. I think the new Wrangler is going to be a completely different animal. You know, it's really easy to trace the lineage from CJ to YJ to TJ. The high step in height, the doors, the look of the windshield. I'm glad I have a TJ, but I could see a 4 door Whatever J sitting behind it in a few years...
#17879 of 23234 A jeep weekend by erickpl Jun 06, 2005 (6:20 am)
It was definitely a Jeep weekend for me, but not one where I got to see dirt.   Saturday morning - go visit a friend of my wife and mine. She has for me: a sailcloth top for a 98, complete with mounting hardware, side and rear windows, window roll, rear window bar, and door surrounds. Selling price 250.00. SOLD.   Drive home with all this hanging out the Jeep. Too funny. Unload it all and get ready to do the install: 2.5" OME suspension lift, transfer case drop (had to due to vibes), and a Kilby gas tank installation. All of this was done by myself. My helper (son) had classes this weekend. He was bummed about not being able to help, but he was taking scuba lessons! I can post some lessons learned if anybody is interested.   Here is a pic from the job after it was done. Keep in mind, the pics don't really show just how big the lift actually is. Measurements show I gained about 3.5". I'm sure it will go down a bit as the suspension settles in and more when I add my winch.     -Paul Replies to this message: tsjay (Jun 06, 2005 6:24 am) keats (Jun 06, 2005 10:24 am)

Replying to: randyace (Jun 06, 2005 5:54 am) Randy:   Got mine from Quadratec for about $20 for the pair. The doors did NOT have to be shimmed, and the guards work just fine. The type I got are not even visible from the outside when the doors are closed. I like it that they cannot be seen when the doors are closed.   Tomster   Have you hugged your Jeep today?

Replying to: erickpl (Jun 06, 2005 6:20 am) Nice, Paul!   Guess those 30's are gonna have to go in favor of some 33's????   Tomster   Have you hugged your Jeep today?

Replying to: tsjay (Jun 06, 2005 6:21 am) Yep, I have the Best Top guards from Quadratec and they required no shims, either. You should go ahead and order some Husky liners at the same time. You'll love them.

Replying to: gsyoung1960 (Jun 06, 2005 5:34 am) I've no experience with the RTS, but it looks to be heavy duty road/rain tire. If you're unlikely to go seriously off road it's probably a good deal which will give you the size of 31's at minimal cost.
#17884 of 23234 Tom by erickpl Jun 06, 2005 (7:25 am)
No 33's for me. Not with a D35. I'll probably go up to a 32x11.5 max as I don't want to push it with 33's and have to consider regearing and such. For what I'm wanting to do, 31's would probably work just as well, but the 32's would fill it SO much nicer.   I'm considering the BFG MT's or perhaps the Interco TrXuS MT's I've been reading about.   I can't call Kermit my little jeep anymore. Almost got a tear in my eye thinking that he'd grown up on me! hehehe   Just so y'all can see, take a look at the difference in the springs between stock and the new OME springs. Much tighter wind and longer to boot...     My wife saw this pic and about freaked out (she wasn't there while I did this work.   -Paul
