Anyone up for a Friday night snow mission? Might only find a few inches, but I need to get the Jeep out.Anyone else been getting the feeling that snow is in the air?
Temps are dropping, and the moisture has been pretty consistent. I'm thinking maybe a prerun is in order soon.

Happy thanks giving to everyone, who's got food pics?
I ran them for a long time, no problem. I guess context is important.

They scare me, however my new 44 rear has freaking 2" spacers on each side
Had a long talk with Darrell about wheel spacers and he made me feel comfortable with them. He mentioned that him and lots of other guys run them on their diesel pickups so....
They scare me too, mostly because it's another part to fail. Not too concerned with increased bearing wear as the Jeep hardly gets driven.
I'm shopping for new wheels, and am considering ordering a deeper backspace, and then running a spacer to achieve my ideal with (4.5" backspace, with 1.25" spacer). Cue Adam's full width comment in 3..2..1..

I can already hear the comments lol
My friend has been running his 37" Toyo's with some spacers for quite a while too. He beats the piss out of that thing
I'm not concerned with bearing wear either, I worry more about snapping the damn studs off
But I want too many other things like a cage, hydro assist and an atlas to warrant doing anything different rear axle wise so I'll run my giant wheel spacers and see what happens

I've been running 1.25" spacers, dd them too. Just got to make sure their torqued properly and a little redloctite

I had spacers on the crapmander. After a few re-torques the first week, they stayed tight and never had a problem after
I got mine from g2, which came with red loctite. When I checked them at the 2 week mark they were fine, and when I took them off to use wheels with the correct backspacing, I had to use heat and a 4 foot breaker bar to take them off.

Agreed, I'm in Centralia WA with water covering major roads on both sides of town for us.
I'm in Bellevue, standing water everywhere. The Prius army has finally met its match... I saw one hydroplane, on a 35 mph street, through a stop sign on my way home.
In other news, I'm bored with the 4.0. I'm gonna start hording tdi parts for a diesel swap. Picked an engine up on Saturday.

I wonder if there's a place locally I can by conflict diamonds? I'm assuming they would be quite a bit cheaper per carret.
