So, my tires were supposed to be here today. At 9am ups showed them out for delivery.

At 1220pm, it said that due to "operating conditions" my delivery will be delayed/rescheduled, with no other info given.

I'm thinking either the driver had a wreck, or he was so smitten with the raw off road prowess of the tires that he stole them and is currently on the lam

Default Tires are on!

More pics tomorrow in the daylight, but the tires are on!



Haven't checked for rubbing lock to lock, I'll wait till after the alignment is done.

I don't think there will be any rubbing, even with the suspension compressed, but I'm going to cut off the bottom corners of the fenders anyway, just in case

I really like the way that combo looks. I'm going to try and fit the same combo on my 96 Jimmy, probably won't go with boggers due to the price. I've got keys, shackles and a 2" bl right now. I've still have to install my aal. I know I'll have to do some serious trimming on the front fenders. I may end up just going 32x11.50

Yeah, those boggers were almost $300 each! If it was my daily I wouldn't have gone with them, they don't last long driving on the road. It's just an offroad toy, now, though, so I figured might as well!
