Tonight we picked up a 99 Trooper with 59,431 miles on the odometer <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />. This thing looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Leather interior looks brand new, rides nice and tight (apparently new shocks on it). We are thrilled.

Has nearly new Michelins on it but of course I'm trying to remember what the largest tires are that will fit w/o a lift. Think I'm going to leave it relatively stock but want to eventually get some bigger all-terrain meat on it.

Pics hopefully by tomorrow

265/75s will fit. That is what I ran on my old 99 Trooper, they are about 7% bigger than stock.

We're already in discussion about attending the 08 Zuzoo <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think we're going to put some washers under the front seat mounting bolts to raise the front of it a bit, feels like it slopes down

Your driveway has grass growing on it...

You'll need a warmup run before Moabzu. I suggest ColoradoZu (somethime this summer) or Crawloween in November. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

Nice ride Joe. Really clean. I like the fact that the carpet in the drivers well still has carpet pile in it. NO signs of wear at all. I was looking for one of those for Melissa before I found the I Mark for myself. And yes she'll get to drive it, if I can talk her into it. She's still mad I didn't CONSULT her about it. She still isn't talking to me! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> It's not like I haven't told of my plans for the last 6 years. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Only problem with our buying another Trooper is we both now have a killer commutes to work 5 days a week, now that we live in the country, and we wanted to keep the vehicle gas mileage as high as possible. She's keeping her Miata until it dies. I ride a KLR 650 as much as I can. Been getting my off road fix on two wheels lately.

Sold it and got a Dodge Ram V10 tow rig to haul the Samurai around. The Samurai was a victim of some bad late night crawling smile and the divorce :laughing:

Still have the 10mpg Dodge tho smile You can see it in some of the pics
