Cons on the tire- bad in the rain (almost every mt tire is) , not very good in light snow

pros- GREAT in mud, Perform very well on rocks, performs great in very deep snow im talking 3 feet of snow! very quiet tire
Thanks. So far so good and extremely quiet!

Thanks to a member of the forum ( batherton87 ) he explained to me how to do the hinges details by details, So here's a couple of pics. Sanded the bubbly hinges down by hand, which at one point my daughter was bored so she also helped me out with the sanding, but hey we had fun. I washed them, then bed lined them. Also the day after staring the hinges, my fan motor went, went to local jeep dealer & got a new one. Old one burned out. Very easy to install. Took me bout a 1/2 hr to take old one off & put new one on.

The door hinge mod has been on my to do list. Those look great. Would you mind sharing the detail by detail on how you did this? You can PM me if you want.

N/p.. After taking doors off, take hinges of the door, you might have to put a little muscle behind it tho cause it was painted over it, you gonna hear some popping noise, don't worry about it, it's ok. Then just pulled the hinge off once the screws are out. I used the 150 grit sand paper, then sand away the whole thing, don't have to sand all the way to metal, but get rid of them bubbles & the clear coat. You can use a sander if you have one, I did it by hand cause I didn't have one. Then when you're done sanding, wash them good with dish detergent & dry them with towel, then once is completely dry, start painting. I gave mine about 3 coats. Once dry, then they're ready to go on. Enjoy the project, it's fun, & they look awesome afterwards.

Nice! Can you put up a pic straight from the front? I'd like to see how the 14.50 stance looks. What offset and do you have spacers or not?
