Hi All,
Just checked an item of my bucket list today and bought a 97 TJ with the 4.0 I6. It's got a 2.5 RC lift on it. No where near perfect, but I got a good deal on it. The hood latches are a little worn (and aren't lining up, which is a little concerning).
First order of business is new tires.. I have an opportunity to get a set of JK rims (17 x 7.5) for real cheap. I've been doing a lot of reading but still trying to figure out if it'll work. I know I need the lug pattern adapter — but it's confusing as to what size I can put on without impacting the performance - this is going to be mostly a road jeep with minimal off-roading (at least for now). Currently it's got 30s on a 15x8 wheel, and is geared (as far as I can tell) stock at 3.55. Should I bother?
Looking forward to being a part of this forum, and enjoying my new to me Jeep!!
