Well, I remember hearing some clickety clack sounds on the trail and it was not one I've heard before but I didn't find anything wrong...until this evening. Turns out, I should have bought longer bolts for my new rear shackles that are 3/8" thick. Oh, and I found this while I was draining my 8.8 due to a leak.

Had my work thrown baby shower and it did not disappoint. My co-workers are quite creative and know me well.

I bought new tires yesterday. I went with the same tire just bigger, 35" x 12.5" KM2's. I liked my 33's so much and how well they have worn and held up I wanted to get the same. I had toyed with the idea of 37's but the jump in price was nearly double. Our new little girl will be going into daycare come November and a month of daycare is like buying a set of 35" KM2's and cheap steel wheels every month, so cost was a factor and the fact that my current drivetrain would be insufficient, mainly the D30. I'll post pics when I get them.

Got my wheel adapters two days ago from my buddy. Didn't know they were G2's. Just waiting on tires...actually for 4 Wheel Parts to mount and balance them.

Got my tires yesterday. They are a big improvement.

Finally got the tires on. Rides great, I just need to get a set of locking lugs and get the tire carrier modified.

Got the tire carrier modified. Nothing fancy, just cut and weld.

Just need to slap some paint on now.

We're supposed to get some gnarly thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon so I put the jeep in the garage...it's a tight fit. Cleared it at the top within an inch.

That's good to hear. I'm glad you were able to benefit from them.

Well, I started work on my anti-wrap bar again but didn't get too far. Our baby girl is soon to be on the way and we needed to prep a little more.

I sleeved the cross bar because it was too short. I happen to have tubing that slid over the bar.

I'll get some at some point. Due date is Friday but we're going in now due to several factors. Nothing major, it's just her time to come into the world.

Here's some pics of the mounted spare.
