Well today was a semi productive day. Got all mounts finished for front skid plates, 2 plastic pieces replaced on my passenger side, one of those trimmed to fit my bumper, painted my front rims and center caps black with rubberized paint (finish back tomoro), and routed my block heater cord to sit at my front reciever for easy access. Also planned out how to route wires and mount a light bar to my roof rack.

Cragar soft 8s installed, no rubbing anywhere! 245/70r16 fit no spacers.

Off to alignment shop now. This RRO lift looks great, but it's hell to align.

Waited 35+ minutes in line for a 4-ish minute car wash :icon_rolleyes:

It is what it is though, lol. Had to do it now to get some of the salt buildup off or wait at least another full week through another cold streak

Does the tire pressure thing in the wheels work with these rims?

Yes sir, America tire had a rebuild kit available so I purchased those when they did the install, the rebuilt kit has new rubber seals so the air doesn't leak. Maybe it wasn't needed but I figure Id rather be safe than sorry. TPMS fit prefect in the cragar soft 8s. No Christmas tree dash. Haha

Force my 'riot to go to the Mississippi headwaters, dragging the family along (all had fun despite being below zero degrees F).

Nice!!! I've been wanting to go there for quite awhile!!!! There's only a foot trail to the actual headwater location, right? Need to park and walk a couple hundred feet? I've done some googling, figured I'd ask somebody who's been there.

600 ft from the parking area/cafe. I hopped across the rocks, but encouraged the family to walk across the plank down stream.
