I love taking my truck to Jeep West. Might be a hell of a drive, but they are the ones that did my rear end rebuild and did all the major work on my Jeeps over the years. They swapped out the wheels/tires for me, perfectly balanced the new ones, helped look over the whole truck, etc. for $30. Can't complain at all. Never been disappointed in any of their work.

Ordered a set of these for $5 from amazon. Should get here tomorrow. Won't have time to swap them in until later this week probably, but hopefully they help with the noise I have back there. One of the spacers/bumpers is shot for sure.

Wondering if I made a mistake on tires. They are great on road and in the rain. Perfect for daily driver. However we really want to do dispersed camping and a lot of the places we would want to go, the truck could make it with some scratches, but not sure if the tires will get me there. Old forest service roads.

So going to buy new tires and sell the ones I have now. Going to install a small leveling lift kit - 2.5" from RC so I can fit 32s or 33s on there as well. 32s will fit for sure and 33s seem to be a hit/miss depending on wheels. Need to see if they will fit without rubbing on factory ones.

Ya... About 99% sure I'm going to be putting it up for sale instead of buying tires and stuff.

So going to swap back in factory radio soon, reinstall running board things, remove subwoofer and Cai, and uninstall the tune.

Spent the day talking a lot with the wife, career and life goals, etc and the truck doesn't fit in those plans.

So going to sell while the market is good for it.

Taking it to a couple of local dealers on Friday. There is a big demand for used trucks so if they offer me enough I'll probably unload it.

Front end was starting to make noise and the transmission was starting to shift weird. Also had a rear end starting to clunk a bit. So unloaded it before big $ repairs needed.
