I came across a hell of a deal on a set of brand new 33x12.5x15 mud claws that the owner of a local fourwheel shop let me have for 450 dollars out the door, sold my 31s that day for 300 dollars and mounted these bad boys up! I gotta say, damn they really make the jeep look so much better!

I ended up doing away with my 42 inch led light bar in favor of a 50 inch light bar along with hooligan off-road roof mounts that bolt directly to the rain gutters. Also swapped out my headlights for Hids and ebay housings. Then, I changed all my off-road lights to 8 inch Hids and finally have it setup the way I want in terms of lights haha

Then I noticed one day after a hard day of wheeling that my driver side from tire was towed in....a lot! Upon further inspection, I found my wheel bearing and hub assembly were beyond destroyed! it was so bad actually, that my caliper was rubbing on my rotor! That hub assembly was a pain in the *** to get off, definitely seized on there

Finally decide it was time to replace my shocks! My old ones were meant for the 3 inch lift and now that I'm sitting closer to 6 inches and on long arms, they were pretty maxed out haha. Ordered up a set of bilstein 5100s to replace them
