Hello and Welcome from MI.

What type of plans do you have in store for your rig?

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

well....... it has some eagle alloy 17s on it with 285/70/17s ATs that have lots of tread left. i need to pick up another one so i have a matching spare.... but those tires will get me by for now. i want a surco safari rack so i can mount the hi lift and shovel/axe up there. im looking into the bilstein shocks. i measured the front and i was pretty close to 23.5 but i was parked facing up hill slightly.... ill check it again when i get it on level ground.... ill crank on the torsion bolts to get it to 23.6 or so and get an alignment. the steering wheel is slighty off center when driving in a straight line and it drives me crazy so i want to get the alignment checked.... might as well get the torsion bolts set where i want them before i do. i want an intake. most likely the "air doc" and a good non oiled filter... gotta invest in a little recovery gear and put a little tool set together for the trails... im still in the process of going through everything and making sure everything is good to go. ill probably change the driveline fluids and spark plugs and some routine maintenance stuff. i dont know the history really and dont want to rely on what the dealership said... after all that, it will probably be time to look into some new tread....
