    Nice! This will be cool! What tire did you decide upon John?

    Same as Greg's, the Mickey Thompson MTZ P3.

    Nope. New blade in the Sawzall and it cut like butter. I was a little nervous at first, but after the first cut it was "game on".

    Everything fits, but I do have some frame rub at full lock.

    Looks like I need to get some adjustable lower front control arms and push my front axle forward a couple of inches to alleviate the rubbing on the frame.

    The rig looked awesome last night, John! those mickeys are beefffyyyyyyyyy. Makes me want to look into 40s, but I don't think the squirrels in my engine would appreciate it on the highway haha. I will have to stick to 37/38s until I green sticker it and turn it into a trailer queen. Very nice choice!

    I put in my new front adjustable lower control arms. I adjusted the lowers to 24" and the uppers to 19-1/2" (Tera's suggested measurements). Zero rubbing at full turn now. I'll take it in for an alignment on Saturday.

    I got the Jeep aligned and everything is great. No rubbing issues and it tracks perfectly straight.

    I also got the matching spare tire mounted. And yes, it still fits in the garage 😎

    It was the cause of the recent solar eclipse.😎
