I knew someone was running 31's, just couldn't remember who... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Thanks Dave <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

The springs and muds came in today. The tread on the tires looks like a cross a cross between a BFG and Dunlop Rover. Was hoping for the Grabber tread <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> since it's close to the swampers. Go figure. These are good ones though and I'm happy with them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Not sure if I can get this stuff on this weekend or not <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" />

I got the lift and tires put on this weekend and what a difference. Almost 11.5" from skid plate to the ground. Pleased with that I am. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I'd recommened the lift to anyone. Handling and ride improved. Less lean during cornering. You guys were right on the money about the Eibach lift! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

The mud tires were pretty predictable, lots of drag, some noise, and not too bad in the rain.
The old Sport feels like it got a shot of testosterone <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />
Strange thing... You know how the front grill is shaped like "==". Came out Easter morning and it was shaped like <img border="0" alt="[Satan]" title="" src="graemlins/satan.gif" /> No bunnies around either <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Got to get down to the Pines...
Try to get some pics this week!

Congratulations Joe. I still think that is the best mod so far. How did the install go? Did you have any problem areas?

But they had a problem with the driver side. The bolt though the fork siezed and stripped. They did get it off and were able to strip it back on. If they couldn't get it back on, I told them to weld it for the time being. The new bolt assembly should be in today. Outside of that it was a snap and they did a good job.

BTW - your 2 door is looking pretty good!
