Riddle me this... anyone

My Riot 07 just started this new thing, the transaxle fluid will overheat and a little light will come on. Now after going about 80 mph the jeep will slow to about 20mph until it cools. The shop says that nothing they can do other than add a new coolant tank!!!

Anyone out there with this too? Mine has about 80k

i have these same wheels and plan on getting the lift coils. im guessing running this tire size will be fine on a lifted 4x2, correct?

Should be no difference whether 4x4 or 4x2.

cobretty, make sure you WD-40 the insides of your cragar center caps and keep the salt off them. Mine are all rusty now and look like they belong on a Jeep or something.

Thanks for the tip Heckler!

Have been unable to drive for past 3 weeks due to illness but noticed the outside of the caps have a ton of rust spots. I was told wet aluminum foil can get rid of it easily - will try at end of this week and do the insides with WD

So I picked up my tires and wheels in the States today which I bought from tirerack and Jegs respectively.

I then proceeded to Mr Tire to have them fitted and after almost 1.5hrs I get back to my riot and still see the stock rim/tire and naturally ask what's going on. Apparently Mr Tire will not fit the wheels since it is not manufacturer recommended in the guide books they have access to. Also the fact that I could sue them if something happens and it is due to them fitting these non manufacturer recommended :blah:

I paid for the mounting and balancing and set off to go fit my new wheels myself. Here is the result:

I am very happy...:banana:

I really like this setup! In fact i liked it so much I just ordered the wheels from Jegs. I'll order the tires sometime after tax day. Quick question. What is the part number for the center caps and lugs? Very nice I like what you have done.
