Kudos for you! :-)

Although, you might want to think about doing something about those "wimpy" tires.

 

Well I have a set of 44" ground hawgs if you don't think the 35s are big enough lol

 

Hmmm, only 44s? LOL

 

Not to be off topic... by why do I get the feeling your never satisfied christine? Lol

Jimmy is looking good tho. Everytime I open your thread, I see the pic of when it still looked stock lol

 

DonL, I'm just being a silly nerd-motorhead-girl. LOL

 

I know, I'm just a "donkey". I do find it funny tho lol

 

Lol Don I was thinking the same thing. JK Christine. Thanks, I can't believe how much it's changed in just over a year. I need to get it in the shop again soon. I have a couple of coolant leaks and my passenger side CV is making some very bad noises and both boots are completely gone. Not to mention the idler arm and tie rods are shot. Thanks to the 35s. I've been putting off doing anything to the front end in Hope's of putting a solid axle in soon but may have to rebuild the ifs one more time before I get around to it. I've got everything to build my roof rack and either nerf bars or sliders just haven't had the time or motivation lately.

 

How's the speedometer and the speed of the car affected by those big wheels? Just out of curiosity. Is it noticeably slower? How inaccurate is your gauge?

 

Speedo reads about 10mph slower than actual speed. Yes it takes quite a bit more power to turn the bigger and heavier tires. I will regear the differentials when I swap axles.

 

So I have either a bad front hub bearing or a bad cv or possibly both. Took the Jimmy out tonight after 2 days of constant snow. I may have pushed it a little harder than I should have. I'm going to pull it in the shop after work tomorrow and see what I need to replace.
