The most important thing...I drove mine all over the place this week! 
I have too many expensive hobbies to upgrade now
The doors will be removed soon though! Looking forward to that!

Finally... something was done.
Buh-bye 4.10 and 32"
Hullo 4.88 and 33" (biggest I want to go, given Maine's +2 inch law and the fact I'm towing)
RPMs are right where I want them, but must admit I'm surprised at the difference between the nimble feeling 32's and the "heavier" feeling 33's, especially on acceleration. Could be due to the fact I'm running them at about 30 PSI. Going to try them at 35 and expect they'll feel a little lighter. Not bad is, but I think I'm just feeling that added rotational mass. Definitely softer than the E-range 32's I was running. Noticeably softer ride when going over bumps, yet not mushy.
Will be posting my 32's for sale soon (Cepek 265/75R16) - set of 5 with no problems, never a flat, rotated, maybe 10K mi on them.
Eager to hook up the 3,360 lb. trailer and see how well the new gears pull it.
Thanks for the great service from Steve and the crew at Steve's Jeep Country in Epsom, N.H.
Shown here with new 33's (Cepek FC II 285/75R16) on Pro Comp 7089's, TeraFlex leveling kit, WeatherTech visors, flag in place of stock decals. You can't see the 4.88's but they're in there! That's about it so far. Next step (short term) will be ham/CB/antennas, and might try to do custom "west coast" style mirrors. Wish list still has bumpers/winch, maybe 2.5" boost, but that's a big enough can of worms that I'll put it off for a year.
