Does new sound attenuation really work?
What size were the old, and the new?

How does it sound? Does the factory panel still work. I am very interested and i will be grateful for any info. Saw it on Amazon.

The old were 31x10.50x15
The new are 285/75x16. They aren’t really new. Just newish. Took them off my 93. Put new 285/70x17 on my 93.

It seems like there ought to be a particular thingie that attaches that one thingie to another thingie...
At least yours ripped off cleanly.

Too early to tell. I’ve only got just the back area done and still need to do the doors. I’ll post again when it’s fully complete
I bought the bracket to mount the Cerwin Vega from another member locally who makes them. As for the sound I’ve got the polk speakers that fit behind the factory grills and a Sony deck with Apple play. I think it sounds great. Nothing huge but a well rounded overall sound. Full bass but you won’t hear me a street away.

Nice rims. Bead locks?
For the CC, I didn't see a real improvement until I replaced the lines. Gas cap hissing gone and she fires up a lot faster. Mine looked a lot worse than yours though.
@LouisianaRubicon Yes it is. I didn't get the tank from Power Tank because in my area they don't fill the tanks, you just swap them out for full ones. I got mine at Airgas for ~$80 for the 10lb tank. Easily filled up all four 33" tires from 18psi to 38psi 10+ times and several other odd tires over the summer.
@davidp14 Thank you ... yes, real beadlocks, not just the simulated ones. I looked for months and finally found ones I liked that didin't break the bank.

Sitting at a construction one way. ****er “forgot to put his brake on” and rolled back in to me. I had left room to get out but couldn’t make it so I sat and watched it happen. ****ing idiot!
Replaced all 4 u joints trying to fix my grrrr. Didn’t fix s***, but at 264k they needed replacing. I am thinking its my wheel bearings. With or without my front ds, i still get grrr’s, its just less pronounced.
At high speed on the highway (65~) in sweeping turns i get a vibration on either side. I checked by jacking up the truck, no play top to bottom or front to back, spin a wheel and it feels smooth, lock to lock is smooth. It almost feels like a motor mount but its only at high speeds, not rpm and my mounts look good.
Im lost. Whent weeling anyway, hit widowmaker at sycamore and had a hell of a time getting up, slick as snot! I was not alone as a bunch of other locked up jeeps struggled except one showoff with a 4cyl unlocked but at 10psi on tire just crawled up, but not the hardest chute. Finally made it up with 20 psi in the tires.

Booooooo!!!!
That sucks!
Now....turn it into a positive!
He dinged the:
bumper
hood
core support
grille
cowl
both front fenders.
That's good for at LEAST $3000. Throw some extra parts on it, slobber on some monstaliner, and buy some armor for the front!
You'll be money ahead in the long run!
@slow95z start looking for parts for a 93........
