[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 438538, member: 18789"] I honestly couldn’t agree more. When I bought my YJ, it was mostly bone stock, except for a set of 31” ATs on a set of chrome steelies. It had a few things like wider fender flares, spare tire cover, and a few other small easily reversible things that the PO had done. My grandpa got it like that, then he died and later I got it. My mod cascade started from the 31’s. Stock height had no clearance, so soon came a lift, SYE & DC shaft, bumpers, yada yada. Eventual plans to lift more, 35’s, etc. None of that ever panned out and I settled on 33’s as my happy forever size, until eventually I didn’t want those either. At this point I just want it stock (plus functional add-ons). There is no cascade of mods when it’s stock and you appreciate it that way. I have since collected a set of 5 stock alloy wheels, that I hope to refinish. I’m geared to 4.88 so I don’t want tiny tires, but I may end up going back to 29-30” tires and re-regear myself. Honestly, a set of 235/75R15s would do it for me. I’d like stock suspension to go with that but I’m having trouble finding anything. If only I knew then (10 years ago), what I know now… Also, your video is hilarious. Reminds me of an 82 CJ7 we acquired when I was in high school. That thing had been molested in every way imaginable. I’d have to write a novel with everything the PO had messed up on it. Such a shame. [/QUOTE]
