It's very stock but...
I love it. I finally got a little mud on my Jeep when my girlfriend and I headed up to Readesboro, VT for Easter weekend. (I've had her for about a week- the Jeep. The girl has been around longer.) Offroading was a little tough, because there was deep snow (over a foot) in most of the places that would have made for some introductory spots for this noob. I did drive her into the beginning of a snowmobile trail, and ehem,... got stuck (all ice underneath, and the wheels just wouldn't catch, no matter what I did.) I walked about a mile to get a shovel (lesson learned- bring a shovel). Regardless, I couldn't be happier about it. Although my girl was frustrated, I loved the entire day- even getting stuck. It was awesome.

By the way- I bought these wheels from a fellow Jeeper in MA for $350 (w/ brand new rubber)... They aren't the Cragars I want, but they are a lot better than the steelies that my rig came with, I think. My questions: Did I get a good deal? - and - what are they commonly called?

If you plan on staying stock for while you may consider buying a set of Rubi tires in the for sale section.
But i guess since the snow is almost over.........
Glad you had fun.

Thanks. I can't wait to get some real tires on there. I've been looking on the "For Sale" threads, but haven't seen any tires that are in my area, and folks don't seem too keen on shipping the heavy items.
I'm traveling a ton this Summer, but I plan on getting some nerf bars, tires and stubifying the bumper when I'm back for a while. Thanks for checking out the pics.

Yeah- I had the same ones you had, Yamaha. The "new" ones aren't totally different. A little bigger. I still have no idea what they are referred to.
