Wellllll.....done. Since you all like pictures so much! It's sitting level in this pic....i'm going to need to build a step, its alot higher than it was before. Approx 7.5-8" worth of ground clearance to the axle. The best part...my plates came in yesterday :elkgrin:

wound up; helping Vegas Jeep Guy install a deep cycle battery in a battery box and a small inverter inside his tongue box on his M101 trailer, so I didn't really get anything done on the wheels. I painted 1 side of 1 rim. woo.

Well, the tires from before were trailer tires too, but these are 6 ply bias, so they should be durable, and have a decent load rating. This camper wont eve be dragged anywhere that the spare would be in trouble.

Yeah son, 24.5' tires! woooo! Talk about some meats! Haha. I'm not moving the spare, I'm just going to put a notch in the bumper so it doesn't press against the tire. I'll be painting the rims tonight.

its got a hell of an advantage over my 40 year old AMC V8.... I get 11mpg!

Well, they arrived! awwwwwwwwww yeah. I'm going to need to notch the bumper though to keep it from putting pressure on the tire and damaging it.

sealed the gas tank up again for like the 65th time. Then sourced a new-to-me tank.

no fair....

it was only on there for a few months, then I went back to the stock air cleaner.

Flowmaster has been on for 5 or 6 months. Honestly, you cannot hear the exhaust over the road noise. Between the mud terrains, the 35 year old weather stripping, the lack of window seals, the suspension creaks and bumps, and my awesome single speaker stereo the exhaust just disappears. I had...

awesome, I'll be watching though i likely wont have much to offer, knowing nothing about diesels or Comanches haha.

thanks for the comments, and yeah, I wont be allowing you-tube to auto-correct for me again. its freakin bizarre to watch it! simply because I just saw it after clicking on my camper video, here's a vid from when I put the flowmaster on it...

Also, made a few quick videos so you can see the outside and inside. sorry it's all wavy, I assume that is youtube's 'shake correction' (there is wind at the end of this first video, sorry) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oymc744N_tg&feature=plcp and the camper...

back to the topic at hand... So, i just went to walmart and 'rented' a 5 lug to test the fit of a 175/80D13 tire since they dont have them in 4 lug, and I didnt want to order some online only to have to pay 75 bucks to ship them back if they didnt fit. Fit just fine. Plenty of clearance for...

Not a separate trailer thread, it's all going in this thread. This is the waggy/trailer build I guess. I've just been posting the updates in here.

I was going to chime in with the same thing. In rain, snow, and ice you will be FAR better off with the AT's. P.S. your cherokee looks great!

just finished lifting the trailer, just waiting to get 24" tires delivered to finally level it out.

Well, progress was made! With the help of a VERY GENEROUS member on jeepforum, who not only donated some steel, but also his time and tools and expertise this morning to help me knock this out. and when i say help me, i mean allow me to help him do about 90% of the work, haha. For references...

just sealed up the gas tank leak again....dang thing is relentless!

Maybe I should send my parents down to bid :-) they still live back in NH....its nice to dream, huh?
