Seeking Wrangler Advice

No. I actually locked it in the other day in some really soft mud when I started slipping in 2 wheel drive. I got out of the mud and unlocked it. I didn't notice anything weird or noisy but the tires were all really free to spin at whatever rate they could so I'm pretty sure I didn't cause any damage.

LOL!

My 86 CJ7 had a hot pink/purple color when it was new. It was a stock Laredo with a really wild factory color.

I figured this out when I removed the scuff plates across the bottom door opening. Only one coat on top of the primer under there, it was painted gray, then blue/green.

If it had Pink Flames on the hood, it was not original. It had to be painted at least once.

Hey Jeff, didn't you mention you were gonna get pink flames painted onto your Jeep? ;)

I'll have to dig up the photos and scan them in... it's been 6 years now since I sold her :-(

Now there's a fashon statement!

I just want to thank everyone who helped educate me with all things 'Jeep Wrangler'. With the knowledge that I gained via the Jeep newsgroups, I purchased a real nice looking 2000 Wrangler Sport: 31,000 miles, red, six cylinder, soft top, standard shift, air, stock 'Canyon?' wheels and so on. If I had ordered it new, I would have ordered it just like this. Very, very clean and straight and for the most part, very stock except for a 3" Warn lift and 33" BFG All Terrains. I paid a 'fair' price for it. It wasn't a steal but I feel I got what I paid for. I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks again!

Congrats on your purchase. One thing, the stock Canyon wheels have way too much backspacing for 33x12.5" tires, check the rears to see if they are rubbing against the upper spring perch.

I will check the rears for rubbing against the upper spring perch. I am not familiar with the term 'backspacing'? Is this the 'offset' the wheel has toward the center of the vehicle?

Breath"

Backspacing and offset are related but two different measurements. Backspacing is the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel and the inner rim. Offset is the measurement between the centerline of the wheel and the wheel mounting surface.

Here's a good site to explain:
