IF your going to do long arms. sell your top and doors to finance the long arm kit

thats it? one pic WTF? :D

So what are the detyails on the lift? Did you wheel it stock to begin with?

And WHY are you thinking long arms now?? The main purpose of a long arm is to bring the geometry of the lower control arms back to a stock angle...other purposes beyond that are debateable and most are true...sliders, articulation, stabililty, etc.

4.5 superflex, 35" bfg's

Not much more to say other than I just got a 35" spare and managed to put it on my stock carrier. Oh and soon I will be puting a detroit in the rear. As well as a custom rear bumper in the works. I did wheel it stock but "F" the transfer case skid pretty good but that's what its there for right!

hey bro, that is a lot of weight placed on the stock tire carrier. it is going to screw your tailgate up .

Are you incorporating a tire carrier into the custom rear bumper your working on?

Yeah there is going to be a tire carrier. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do about a hinge though.

We are wheeling at Uwarrhie, NC. Thats the only place I know of locally?

if your looking for a hinge for a tire carrier, go with a rockstomper

That's what I had in mind. I'm not sure on how it bolts on. Does it go all the way through the bumper or what? I haven't seen one in person.

i was behind your jeep the other day on main street... some flush mount tail lights would really compliment the rig...just my 2 cents...nice wheels too...:cool2:
