That's good news in a way. Hopefully I don't have a brake problem in addition to a rim problem. In regards to getting the rims off. At least the tire dealer has a rack. I don't think they will knock it off that. I want new rims anyway, this was just temporary, so it doesn't matter to me if they...

Today I went out to look at the Jeep again to see if maybe I could figure out what is wrong with it in the daylight. Whenever I press the brakes I hear a squeal/rubbing sound coming from the front driver's side wheel. I looked at it all around while pushing it by hand and I can hear the noise...

Thanks, thats what it does, wiggle, not turn. I've only had this jeep a short time and never had the wheels (or most anything else) off my old one. I just noticed it this afternoon when I was changing out wheels and was curious about it. I didn't see any way to tighten it unless someone had put...

I think that is what this part is called. It is outside piece on the front wheels with a cotter pin through the middle of it. Is this supposed to be loose fitting, snug, tight, or what? If I need to be more clear as to what I am talking about, please ask.

I got the rims and tires swapped, finally. I should have paid the 40 bucks to the tire dealer to just swap the tires because this ended up costing me $25 today because I had to buy new lug nuts for the Ranger. The stock ones were not deep enough for the new rims. However, now I am probably going...

Another question. Aren't the lug nut sizes on Wranglers 1/2" threads? I was going to swap the nuts with the rims so that I could put the center cap on also, but the nuts from the ranger wanted to cross-thread, leading me to believe they are not the same size after all. I decided to leave the...

I was told that Ford and Jeep rims are interchangeable, so I got the bright idea to swap tires and wheels from my Ford Ranger which has all-terrain tires to my Wrangler which has street tires (for obvious reasons). When I mounted the stock Ranger rim onto the Jeep, it was a little snug fit...

or possibly three?

That's what I'm talkin' about. That's a nice surf setup you have there. My brother is fabricating a rod setup similar to that for his YJ. I will have to show him your setup. You're right about security settings. The pics here are hosted by AOL and the firewall here at work blocks AOL urls, so...

So you can see the pics in Chuginsudz message? All I see is red X's......

hey jugghead, what kind of rims are those? Did you purchase them online?

I live in Florida and I am at the beach quite often with my jeep. If you don't get it in saltwater, a nice bath at the end of the week should suffice to wash off any salt from the air. However, if you get any saltwater on it at all I would thoroughly rinse it off as soon as possible. Also, when...
