These guys put them in in 10 minutes. I used to. Used to. I also removed the stock civilian dash corner speakers...

    Fall 2017 Rausch Creek Off Road Park

    What's that mean? Are you going to stay back at base camp? Afraid to scratch your paint or tear your canvas? Or does that mean you are running with the jeep alliance that is going to be there that weekend? Choose your words carefully on that answer. We are NOT alone. https://youtu.be/8MWpnGI6qxQ

    I picked up the 5 wheels at the sand blaster tonight at 1800. And by the time I was in the house they were all blown off and had sealer sprayed on them. They are back in the barn for the night. Tomorrow I will put the finish black on the back side of the wheels. Have a great day.
