I bought the -28 rims and decided they didn't have enough offset so I had them flipped. I now have 2inch back spacing on an 8 inch rim and will be running 33 x 12.5 mtr's

I reckon they will look good with the panels trimmed to match :D If you have the extra width to use the whole flare that can only be a good thing too :)

But I voted Dewse is Grimace :P

At this point i've decided to just use the originals with rubber extention then change to something like the calmini one's later down the track.

I should put some pic's in the other thread so people will start to read it!

Well, I'm putting stock TJ flares on my build up... :P pics will follow in a few weeks on a build up thread so everyone can pick the crap out of my and joes work (needs to be said :lol: )
Here's what rears look like on an LJ on 35x13xr15 DTR's
The advantage of tj's are that they don't cost too much in thier stock form if u look in the 'right' places, they are robust & will take a good knock ('cept for the aussie front indicators- better with the mopar flush mount lenses- not gonna 'snot' 'em as quick on banks & shoulders...)
Best to mount them with nutcerts rather than screws- less suseptable to tearing 'em off and causing GBH to ur panels :cool:
Another kewl thing is they actuallly make ur 'visual' ride height taller!
All depends on your vision for the look of ur rig- each zook is an individual vision and at the end of the day, if the drivers is happy how the car looks and/or performs, on & off the road, who gives a shiate what anyone else thinks- in the nicest possible way :roll:
People to do, Things to see ;)

Upgrade to L.E.D. on your rig! http://www.ledautolamps.com/

I'm on to it! The good news is that they just fit within the rubber extention.

When I say just fit i mean the only stick out about an inch :roll:

And when your zook grows up it will run proportional size tires for those diffs. Maybe 37's or some thing ;)

vitarajim i didnt no, i wonder why DeWsE kept asking if any 1 in the jeep club thrashed there jeeps.

I feel as if im going to start a fight that i cant win, so many of u's and only 1 of me any way

2" OME lift, 1" body lift, 3.5" fender lift and bonnet cut, and a fully sick KN pod (couldnt fit the stock air box back in)

Dual OX lockers the biggest strongest badest locker money can buy, and u do pay for it.
WARN nickle alloy inner and outer axles, Warn hubs and OX unis

Runs 37 mtrs in the rocks in summer and 35et2 in the mud....in the winter

Thats about it ;)
