Josiah, you are braver than I I would be wet sanding and buffing for weeks to get scratches out of my truck. The thought of a swirl mark makes my cheeks tighten up.


When I get out on the trails I like to take this....




I have had my old m-38 in washouts going up hill with both drivers side front and rear tire off the ground leaning to the passenger side and it still pulling. Almost flipped the old jeep a couple of times. Never has been stuck though.

GAFX4 A good friend of mind jsut sold his ranger that was almost set-up EXACTLY as yours! Tough trucks for sure. He constantly ragged the hell out of it and never really broke anything.

You don't have to get all uptight, even yourself would have to admit it's funny. Your talking about this extravagent 4 wheelin you do and you show your Jeep climbing a 3 foot tall stump... I dont' think he meant to insult you.

Josiah are you still getting your truck lifted?

Yeah bud. Ironically I just placed the order for the Mud Grapplers, 37's on 20's (37x13.5xR20) but the rims I want (Hulks) are coming in on some sort of Ocean Barge shipment so it's going to take a couple weeks to get the wheels. As it all comes I'll post pics in my gallery. Just keep an eye out for my posts ;P

Whats with all the Negative reputation points I'm getting out of this thread

how do you know or find out what points you have and all that jazz?

EDIT: I doubt Josiah is gonna display pictures and videos of all his escapades when selling his truck
Not that you don't have a nice truck but everyone (or most people) want a vehicle that has never been used.

If I do sell it, it will be because I can no longer afford it. I will not try to hide the fact that I wheeled it and will disclose any problems I've had, I remember what I felt like when I found out this truck had a broken mirror, cracked taillight, dent, and a few other things he did not mention. They are very small but they cost a penny to fix, the very reason I haven't. I am not sure if I'll show the video's or not, but I don't see the big deal. If anything, they may think it's rather neat. It will be lifted of course and they're buying it that way for a reason.

And I am having an unbelievably bad experience dealing with customwheelsdirect.com. They are based in SoCal, I'd advise you not to work with them because if they've already made their purchase they are pretty stingy about refunding it. I just placed my order today. The situation is this: I ordered Mazzi Hulks, they said Hulks are out, but they have the exact same wheel from a different vendor who sells them for cheaper anyway, just not Mazzi. I took a look at the page with the wheel, it's the exact same. I forgot to ask about backspacing. Well I called back and asked to cancel my wheels upon finding out they have 5.5"-6" backspacing. He told me, "you're gonna have to figure out what you want to do, I can't just sell you the tires. It's a package deal." On their site I am paying the full price, $348/tire and he is telling me that is a package deal price, he is selling the tires to me below cost, they're losing money. So I'm supposed to believe they are making under $xx.00 or so for a near $3000 purchase. I am just pretty annoyed right now as I went ahead and kept my order. As soon as I mentioned I am going to need to cancel my tires, he started sighing and wimpering, "You're gonna cancel the wheels and tires?" "Why do you wanna do that?". I really enjoyed dealing with discounttiredirect.com and would do so if they had the tires. They were very polite and respectful, they returned my phone calls, they assigned a representative to me and I was able to call up all the time and talk about it.

He says they cost him $390/tire so he's losing money, where in the hell does he gain back that money. There is no way he makes that all back on the price of the wheels.

I may cancel my order from them, but I know I'm going to be given a hard time. Any advice on the quickest way to do so? I will gladly wait for discount tire direct to get the grapplers in, I'm not hassled for refunding or exchanging items and they're pretty quick, another place these guys fall short. Everytime I ask if they have something in, they take five minutes and put me on hold. Lastly, I asked about their return policy on the first call, they said it's a one way ticket. We pay $300 to ship it to northern california and if I return them it's another $300.
