Hi, Im another wj noob at mc.. heres my new-to-me '00 wj 4.7 w/ QD
Got it the last day of 2006, The sales lady freaked pretty good when I took her snowwheeling on the test drive..
Here is it the day I got it, after putting on new tires just after leaving the dealership. It crawls up just about anything its low belly doesnt scrape on, but I'll have sliders then a lift on by summer to help with that.

Haven't touched this thread in a couple of years. Anyway, I put 32's on the jeep a few weeks ago and finally got around to taking some pictures.. These are from Hyalite Canyon near Bozeman, MT. Nothing to brag about just wandering around on an afternoon.

How much do they rub? I put 245/75/16 Firestone Destination M/Ts on a 16" eagle alloy rims with a 2" offset and they rubbed so bad i had to get a 2"booster lift and chop a bunch of the front bumper.

I've got a 3" lift and stock wheels and with the swaybar connected they only rub at full flex or at full turn. They rub a little at full turn even when the ground is level, but it isn't bad at all. I need to extend the bump-stops or trim a lot (or both) before I disconnect the swaybar, or I'm sure they will rub like all hell.
