Thanks, jimmoiv. The wheels turned out awesome. I had never seen them on a jeep before - only online. I am really happy with them. My only complaint is that the faux beadlocks look kinda brassy next to my silver step. (installed by previous owner) I'm gonna have the step LineXed to complete the black and red look. The mods never cease!!! LOL

I am looking for a shop/ individual in the Huntsville area to help me get my jeep going again. I wrecked it and need to have a new front axle put under it, and also replace the oil pan. Anybody have any suggestions besides RCO?

Yes, unlblkrubi... I had it done at RCO. Frankie helped me alot deciding on a lift.

I got the tires direct from Mickey Thompson. My brother in law, Kevin Tetz, (from the Powerblock show Trucks) and his contact at MT hooked me up with a sweet deal.

Ive had no issues with Landers Service Dept. Im on my second modded Jeep and theyve never blamed anything on my mods.

I have/had a "Warranty Forever" powertrain warranty through Landers. They (Warranty Forever) told me that my 3.5" lift would void my warranty. : ( It sucks, but I really didn't like the fact that I had to go to the dealer for ALL my maintenance and service in order to keep the warranty valid. Actually you can go other places, but you have to call Warranty Forever and have it "approved" two days before you plan to take your car in. Crazy IMO when you are just stopping in for a quick oil change. I keep receipts from all my maintenance. That should be enough proof that I have taken good care of the vehicle if something goes wrong.

Nice job - looks great!!

Check your tire pressure and make sure they didn't blast 55lbs of air or some such into those MTZs (looking at your right front contact patch, they may be high). You should be able to run between 30-35 lbs fairly comfortably.
