Haha I'm looking to downsize my rims, not upsize them! I want to get some aggressive all terrains on it. That way I can off-road it until I get my new toy this winter. I'm looking for an old truck I can rebuild into an off-road monster.

We can probably do it next weekend. We are going to run the dodge in the mud drags but other than that I don't think we have anything going on. I probably won't be out hunting cause one of the guys I go with is gone, I'll talk to the other one and see what his plans are.

Ditching the patriot............for something else to offroad, for shame, looks like Rylee and Ernie and myself aren't bailing out. Just kidding. We need to head out to the river again one of these days, with all the rain it should be interesting.

I'm keeping the riot as daily driver/ some light off-roading. I just need something with a box on it for hunting and I figure I may as well make a monster truck for some more serious off-roading lol. It won't be done any time soon either.

We were talking about that. Not sure we'll make it out there, it may all be under water now. We could check it out though.

My wife wants to come along with her Cherokee, she's finally getting the offroad bug, problem is evenings don't work. If isn't under water that would be cool, after the first snow this fall it could be pretty awesome out there

Picked mine up from the graphics shop today. Pics in POTM and my build thread, better pics after Jeep Night this Friday.

Well got my front wheel bearings done today, just need to adjust my camber and tighten up my tie rods and it's a complete job.

Bad news of the day: Passenger side outer tie rod is bad. Oh well it's a cheap part.

Big shout out to the guys at work that helped me today! Garreth, Terri, Luke and Logan. And another successful day abusing the company discount at the parts store, saved me over $100.

Almost a completely new suspension under my riot now...

Lol, it happens. Hoping to get mine measured out for a custom suspension job this month, but we'll see. Would be cool to have it tricked out a bit more for Jeep Creep, if there's any way to do that. Always fun to blaze a trail for new Jeep parts.

Got the job finished up today, not perfect but I'll tweak it yet to get better.

Traded my 91 Cadillac Sedan Deville today for an 08 FDI Auto with a blown front diff in the transmission. We'll see what happens with this...

My thoughts exactly! lol but just not sure which route to go yet if I do monster it. Do I mess with gears? Or do I put a huge motor in it? But fixing it and selling it to make a few bucks sounds like a good option too. I'm torn.

I bought a piece 950x300 woven ss from a company in the UK called The Mesh Company,
Removed all the old grill and fitted this behind the grill skin using the original fixing points
I love the look...
