hey guys. Just wondering. I was down at a local car audio store(im friends with the owner, i used to compete in Iasca years ago) and some kid pulled in in a yj. This thing had what looked like home made shackles on it(which is cool if they last, but they looked rickety) and about a 5 inch body lift. He had what looked like ancient mtr 35's on(very little tread left) He looked at my tj and didnt see me standing a few feet away. He looked at his buddies and said "oh, how cute! another tj on 33's! Now ive only had my tj a few months(in the winter) and it still looks nice. So i guess you could confuse it for a wouss jeep with big tires for no reason. I walked over and asked what was wrong with 33's, explaining that i had a 4 banger and drove it(not daily) on the highway, and wanted a good balance. Now this just may be my ego, but after talking, i found out that he had no clue what a sye is, the shackles were given to him by a friend, and he has stock everything. I think that I would rather have 33's on upgraded axles with selectable lockers, a real lift(no or 1inch body lift) and 4.88 gears then his hack job. He seemed to backpedal once i showed him the switches for the ected's and told him i had 4.88s and was contemplating an nth degree long arm kit. I also informed him that the second he nailed the skinny pedal on a trail, his 175'000 mile d35 would probably snap axles like pencils, and i was worried bout mine even with the s35 kit and 33's with a 4 banger.(he had the 4.2 crapmill) His friends jabbed at him agreeing with me. What do you think? anyone can put a huge body lift, very used 35's (and to be honest, no way his tires weren't taking his fenders OFF the second it flexed) Do you think he needs a lesson in jeep ettiquite??
