    FINALLY ordered up some new lower ball joints. 186k on the originals is a little worrisome.

    I wanted to get alloys, but I wasn't sure how hardcore I'd be wheeling in the future. Plus I couldn't pass up $192 for a set of wheels.


    :eek: I get 14 at the worst when I drive 1 mile to work without the motor warmed up.


    I'm looking forward to getting good gas mileage driving 500 miles home.

    FWIW I didn't gain any noticeable MPG's when I swapped to alloys.

    It really only makes a difference in a lot of stop and go driving. The inertia required to get the added weight going is what kills your gas mileage.

    Haha yeah, hopefully by the time these tires wear out I'll have a new daily driver so I can run 35's or 37's next go around.

    A few 2nd gens I wheel with use tall skinnys. They seemed to like it. I ran 285 but when I switched back to mud terrains I wanted to go wider. Regearing to 4:56 has helped a lot.

    A walk in the park. Could do it with my eyes closed.. It's literally just drop f/r drive shafts, un plug connectors, crossmember & trans mount and 5 bell housing bolts. Takes maybe 4 hrs.. Not including time to turn the flywheel. I ended up having to do it twice cause of a bad throw out bearing but did it in two days working on it after classes.
