Before and after!

[kj924]

Got me some new meats and rims. What do you think?

31x10.5 Dayton Timberline MT's and 15x8 Soft 8's 4" BS The ride is so much better than the BFG's, it rides smooth on pot holes, doesn't skip the disc player anymore.

very nice, much more rugged looking.

Should have mounted the new tires on the MOAB's,that would look better IMO.

 

[kj924]

The Dayton's are 15".

 

[tjkj2002]

The Dayton's are 15".

Yeah I know but I've always liked the MOAB's for some reason,haven't figured out why.Wish I could use the Hutchinson 17" MOAB double internal beadlocks,sadly there 5 on 5 BP and detest spacers.

 

[kj924]

This way with the 15" Cragar's I can get tires easier than with 16". I like the Moab wheels too, just makes better sense for me in the future. Around these parts, 15' mud tires are a dime a dozen.

Besides the black wheels will tie in with more changes to come.

I'm getting this rig ready for the trails, I've already been to the mall.........

Looks like you also did a good detail...it's so shiny!!!!! I've always liked those rims!!

 

[Dave]

I think it looks good with the soft 8's and mt's but I really like the moabs too.

What other mods were you planning?

I just ran it thru the touchless car wash down the street yesterday.

I have a line on a black grill guard, no mounting hardware though ....want to tint the front d/p windows....and a Rola roof basket.

Have a set of KC's waiting to get installed.

I have to say, the soft 8's look ten times better than the moabs. Think it is the black standing out so much against the red.

Yeah it really made a difference in the look of the KJ. nana.gif

They are much cheaper if you ding a rock, or curb too.

Do you have a close up of how close your brake caliper is to the wheel? I've always been curious about the 15"s. How much did those 15" tires run?

I'm shopping for some T/A's like you had for the post-lift. might get my factory steels powder coated.

 

[kj924]

I'll try to get some tomorrow for ya Trey. I think the Cragar's are the best fit for the KJ concerning the calipers.

The biggest difference like I said was the ride quality between theses MT's and the BFG's. The ride from the BFG's was hard, then again they were the E rated tire, very heavy duty side walls....10 ply or something like that.

[kj924]

Yep, on my way to Ogdensburg to pick up my rims from the UPS Store.

This is a great way for me to get stuff from the US, I just get it sent to UPS store and go pick it up. Now, I don't have to search for people who will ship to Canada.
Oh and the muffler shop wasn't the main focus of the pic...it's the water tower in the background. Every time I go on a road trip, I try to get the pics of the water towers to say "hey I've been there".

 

[hawaiianbasshead]

how much lift is that? and what type?

 

[kj924]

how much lift is that? and what type?

It's lifted about 2.5"-3" all together. The lift is OME 927 front coils and Rusty's rear coils, and OME shocks at all 4 corners...with a 3 conduit nut spacer on the front clevis.

 

[TigerClaws]

KJ924 Where did you get your OME stuff ?
I havent found any store around here that sells it... Im thinking about getting them straight from them but the darn custom taxes might kill me ... If i can find some place in Canada ....

Very nice looking rig!
