Well gang...I'm so ecstatic that I had to tell everyone! I have officially joined The Dark Side (as my friends like to call it. :)) I can't wait to pick up my 5 new/used 33x12.50 TSL Bias Ply Swampers. :D :D :D
I feel like a little kid at Xmas..... :) I go get 'em on Thursday. Yahoo!
On that note, anyone know if 4 Swampers will fit in a TJ? The 5th one will be mounted on the spare tire carrier.... Any suggestions?
Thanks!

If ya have a hardtop and don't have your backseat in and put one tire on the passenger seat, it should work :)
Edit: ah I see you have a softtop ... then all four should have place in the rear, but again without a backseat.

Umm .. NO, they won't fit in, on, or around your TJ ... just let me know, and I'll go get them, okay? Of course, I will, after you have paid for them, naturally. :D
Glad to see you are goin' to get 'em man.

Well...it's Thursday, and I won't be able to pick up my tires tonight.... Unfortunately my rear wheel cylinder decided to change my mind for me. But no fret, if all goes well tonight and I get my brakes back together, I will be headed for my friend's house tomorrow night to go get 'em.... :)

OH! I see how ya are. NOW you tell me you know how to do brakes, after I pay to have mine done! :D
My wheel cylinders weren't leaking. However, something was telling me it was time to replace the front brakes, and turn some rotors. I guess it was the gawd-awful sound, every time I hit 'em! :)
Let me know how ya like those tires man, if you ever get to go pick 'em up. :) Doesn't it seem like everything will go right, until you want to do something?

Well...I got my brakes done last night and it's off to pick up my new meats tonight. :D I'm gonna be headed to Uwharrie NF tomorrow to get a feel for them.
I'll tell ya this much, I am no mechanic by any means and it took me a long time to get my passenger side brake (only had enough time to fixed the broken side) back together. I lucked out last night and called a guy in my club that lives down the road from me and he used to work on brakes...so far so good. So what would've taken me all night, took my buddy about 40 minutes to put the one side back together again...
And the moral of the story is...make sure you know someone that can do something that you have absolutely no business in doing.... ;)
