I love it when I plan comes together. :cheers: As to that drop of oil, all I can say is :dunno:

Which size is it specifically? Can you post all the sizes for a 17" rim?

I gotta imagine that's one of the best birthday presents ever. :clapping: Congrats! :cheers:

I did a 3 hour round trip for a year (10+ hour days, 6 days a week). Was the first year with my MJ and we did a lot of miles together. :D I can't see myself doing that again. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if I only worked a 40 hr schedule. :dunno:

If memory serves me, they have more backspacing and wheel spacers would be required. :hmm: Looks like my pathetic internet connection won't let me into tire rack and the like :fs1: , so I guess my research will have to pause until I'm back home on Friday. No hurry of course, since I don't have the money to buy any tires anyhow. :shake: but like my MJs, it's never too soon to plan for my dakota's future. :D

Too bad the smallest these come for a 17" rim is 285/60 (33x11"). :brows:

Getting a better gear ratio is an upgrade. 3.55s will be a good improvement over the crap-tastic 3.07s. :thumbsup: Don't fear the welding though, it's easy welding and you shouldn't have any difficulty finding a local source to get it done. Look for local muffler shops if nothing else turns up.

In the front? no way. I've had 31" BFG ATs up there and it rubs quite a bit. In the rear? I measure that it'd be tight, but 32s would clear the flares. :D Yup, that's the problem I seem to be having. :( I'm just not willing to sacrifice the R/T rims for to big tire look.

So yesterday, the first day in months since I last got to drive my Dakota R/T, I blew out one of rear tires on a piece of debris in the road. Cut the sidewall up nice and good. :fs1: It took a loooong time to find them (Goodyear Eagles in the 275/60/r17 flavor to match the stock front 255/55r17s) but even after installation, they just weren't big enough to give that drag racer look (only about 30.5x10.5). I've found a set of 265/60/17s, but those are even smaller, though only slightly. Anyone know of any large street tires that would go on a 17" rim? 32" would probably fit, maybe even a bit larger seeing as the suspension has like 2" of uptravel.

In my humble opinion the relays are the best mod, hands down. Shouldn't cost much and should only take an afternoon to do. Plus you'll greatly reduce the amperage trying to flow through those tiny ancient wires and your headlight switch. :thumbsup:

So then this was a mis-post?

That's my problem with rockyroad. The "kit" is only half a kit since control arms are very important at that height and are a significant portion of the cost in other manufacturers' more expensive (but complete) kits.

mnkyboy, what are you running for control arms?

BLHTAZ is our shirt man. :thumbsup: they don't ship through me at all (I handle the stickers and such). I'll ask him if he's up to doing another order (keep in mind that there is a minimum that we have to meet).

So Jim, are you tabulating these somewhere? :D

Sweet. :D

Toes? :hmm: How exactly are you lighting those fireworks? :teehee: There were years that I preferred a blast wall. :peek: Happy 4th everyone!

Finally got the plugins working. Fun game! Thank goodness I ran out of guns to purchase, otherwise I might still be playing it. :typing:

Yeah how'd you get it to stay there,, the cup holder??? A small screw through the blank plate area. :thumbsup:

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: And none too soon. I might need some parts for the libby. :D

I went with the components and mounted the tweeters right above them. I had to cut a hole in the steel, but it worked out great. the splitter box is tucked up to the left of the drivers feet.

I can't get this new laptop to let me play. :fs1:

One more vote fpr the Infinity Kappas. :thumbsup: Very nice sound from my 5.25 components with separate tweets fed with 75 watts rms. Speakers buried behind your butt are overrated in my opinion and I eventually dumped the added 6x9s (in little boxes) for the single 8" woofer (getting 150 rms). But if you aren't adding in external amps, even the cheap Walmart no-names are waaaaay better than 20 year old factory speakers. :D

Actually, the pedestal of the XJ power seat is quite massive and you'll need it to retain the power option. It doesn't fit well on the MJ floor. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's not as easy as the manual seats where it's no biggie to reuse the MJ floor pedestal.

I'd have one of those clear display cases like for models and then hook up some LED christmas lights inside so they glowed. :D
