Default My New Wheels!

Just got my new wheels today. I got them "gently" used from a good dude off craigslist who helped me put them on in his driveway. They are 18" havoc wheels with 325/65/18 DC tires. This is the only pic I got before the sun went down. I'll put more up tomorrow.

Where should I go next? Obviously a lift. I dont want or need anything crazy, i mostly ride on trails, nothing technical. Should I trim the fenders? I was thinking a roof rack for camping. Thanks for checking it out.

Where next? Perhaps buying one for the back to match the front?
Just kidding. Looks great!

Looks nice. Im a trail touring type myself rather than a rock crawler or mud pit junkie. You might check out the expedition mods. I'm sure you'll find ideas that suit your style.

Looks great! A budget boost should work just fine for what you're wanting, and it won't hurt the wallet as much as a complete coil lift. You can usually find some in the classifieds on here for a nice discount.

Wheels look awesome, really changes the look of your rig

I'd go with a modest liftkit myself.

Thanks for the props guys! I love them. The expedition look is probobly where I'll go. Any recommendation on which budget lift? I think around 2" would be good.

The ride is surprisingly smooth, and I get almost no running, only when I'm backing up at full turn where it rubs that plastic air deflector under the bumper.

Awesome wheels bro, definitely put a lift on that thing next, they give you the wide stance, now all you need is some more height...
