Slowy's 98 Mountaineer 2wd

just picked this up Feb '11
had 06 V6 Mustang rims on it 16"

switched them out to
2011 Mustang GT 18" rims (my dad bought them about a month before i bought the Mounty from him

the offset was wrong and the rubber wasn't big enough. so i found a set of 15" Cherokee rims and tires (225/75/15) with brand new tires for $230, so i put those on

Planning on a 3" bl, 1.5 - 2" shackles and TT (or spindles and SOA)
31" tires on Cragar soft 8's
couple extra lights

04/02/11 - 3" Body lift... minus the bumpers
07/03/11 - did the front bumper. used the brackets that came with the kit, but welded and cut so i could keep my fog lights


we used a peice of 90* steel to add some strength. thats what that big square is on the front of the bracket

Rustoleum flat black to prevent rust

i have some 32's in the garage that were stock tires from a 2010 4dr wrangler (couldn't pass em up for only $100)
sold the mustang rims and will be ordering some Cragar soft 8's soon

08/27/11 - Decided to get rims locally since the tire shop cut me a deal on mounting and balancing
got a set of 17x8 Vline V772 0mm offset for $105/each (rim, mounted, balanced)

will be doing a shackle n twist next

Looks good man! Can't wait to see what it'll look like with the lift! Everyone on this board has helped me out so much with info! Don't hesitant to ask questions and look around, the search button is your friend; one thing I've learned lol
