cheers man, i just dont want to put stress on the tailgate. I still have my old set of 33's lying around. I got 20mm spacers too which i can use (came of these old rims i was running)
Cheers


could do what I did and have rear seats removed or folded up, and remove that 1 bit of carpet for the boot, couple of straps and tie it down. Your tyre iron will sit nicely in the mag too..

Finally got some spare time to start my rocker guards yesterday. Was a bit nervous drilling holes in to the side and under the jeep, but measured twice and cut once :) only got one done as it started getting dark, will give the other one a crack tonight.

Getting ready:
