Just ordered lots of fun stuff!

OK, I'm a little excited! I just got done ordering:

-(4) 38x12.50x15 TSL's
-(4) Walker Evans beadlocks 15x8, 5 on 5.5 with black ring
- Warn hub conversion 5 on 5.5 with CJ rotors
-Coast front driveline
-spidertrax wheel spacers

And my truck and credit cards are paid off! WOO HOO!!!!

What size wheel spacers? I've two sets of 5.5 x 5.5 x 1.25"

they are 1.25" but 5 on 5.5

I've never heard of a 5.5x5.5 bolt pattern

Stock 76-80's CJ wheel bolt pattern was 5.5, the wheel spacer maintained the 5.5, just spaced it out 1.25"

Actually I've never heard of a 5 x 5.5, thought the newer jeeps ran a 4.5?

What axle you applying these spacers to?

You're confusing me. Stock TJ's have a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern while CJ's have a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. So, I think the spacers you have will work for me but I only need 2 of them (1 pair) If you have a good enough price for me, I'll cancel my order right now. Now you are wondering why my TJ would have a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. Well, I'm getting a Warn hub conversion kit that beefs everything up hugely and changes the bolt pattern. For the rear, my chromolly axle shafts I already have are pre-drilled for either bolt pattern, so I just have to take the studs out and put them in the other holes, then drill my rotors out to match.

Cancel your order until you see if these will work first? Where do you live?

I just went to the spidertax webpage, you correct, the one's I have are the 5 on 5.5's

Awesome! I'm postitive they are the right ones.

Where do you live in Renton?

right by the little airport, am/pm, where the mcdonalds burned down

You need these right away? We can hookup whenever, even the next club meeting, it doesn't matter to me, let me know

I work right there at Renton Field

I'll probably need them in a couple weeks, thats when I'm hoping everything is shipped. I'll PM you when I find out more. Do you have a price in mind?

No problem, we can set a price when you see them, it'll be much better than what you ordered I'm sure

Congrats, Justin! Really like the Walker Evans beadlocks, they'll look great!

Fun!

Well, I got my tires today, and grooved one of them. Estimated cuts are 176 and 3 hours worth of time per tire! Only got 1 tire done and my back can't take it anymore. These things are gonna look INSANE when they are mounted. Heres the finished product.

That's the way to go, grooved new tires, looks excellent

Looks good. Which grooves are the ones you cut, and which ones were already there?

Man!......that's gonna look Bad ^$$ and 38's too. Nice job. Now..... I can't wait to start my projects!

Missed a spot
