Thanks.
Anyone know the service interval for a timingbelt?  I'm just going to have it replaced with the water pump when I take it to the shop this week

i have a 94 tracker and breaking parts then replacing them with something better sounds good. i have all stock parts and have hurt nothing but the wheel bearings (again and again) and today the third member case. keeping in mind that all the guys i wheel with have 33s 35s and 36s and they play hard as none of us drive them daily,all have spare parts and spare parts trucks i have jumped,almost flipped and turned my little 1.6 to 7000-7500rpm allot to run with them they hold up very well and this is coming from someone who until last year thought geos and sammis were underpowered junk and in no way compaired to a chevy. that says something.  a tip if your truck has auto lock hubs trash them and swap to man. i found out thats where the water was gettin in and killin my bearings. so if light Wheeling is all you should be good as long as you dont play in water if you do get man. hubs

Yeah I used to have the "bigger is better" mentality but got smart years ago and realized it's about how well the rig performs and how good a driver is behind the wheel. 
Already swapped the hubs, wanted a 100% confidence in them being locked or unlocked when I want them to be

Bled brakes today.  Mounted pass. side TT sidebar, got the driver's side in place but have to mark and drill the final few holes tomorrow.  They look great.  After that, then I can run my last wires under the car and mount up the alst few lights, so I can wrap up my switchboard and wires in the cabin...then my interior is 100% wrapped up.  I didn't want to be towing it from shop to shop around town with the interior having different small parts floating around, wanted that wrapped up so nothing would go missing or get messed up.  I'll post pics when the sliders are done, and the lights mounted and wired, and interior switched finished.
Got the mirror lights (Skitime's idea) operable the other day since I was fooling with the switches.  http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=25441.0
Waited and turned them on later that night...wow.  That's an unbelievable, gotta-have-it mod.  Took a while to carefully cut it out, but it worked.

I got a line on some 15x8's, 3.75" BS. 
I am running a Calmini 3" suspension kit, and 30x9.50R15 Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs.  Is this the optimum width and BS for my application? 
I hope someone with the same kit and 30s can share their information and experience.
If my tires rub, I plan on dropping that extra $100 and get the Sky 1" body lift for just the clearance I need.  But I am trying to get the right rim, best-case-scenario.
Thanks

Alright so I actually achieved my personal goal for this week (a day early too!) of getting the entire interior wrapped up.  That meant getting all my lights mounted, wires run, everything powered up so I could tuck away my interior wiring and switches.  Since I can only add 4 attachments per post, I figured out how to post pics within the topic reply.  Here goes:
started here...then cut it out...






then in the car...(5 sets of lights, 2 dummy switches for future add-ons)

and the finished console center stack...

here's how the CB antenna was mounted

Front lights:


Notice how well these little buggers light up in the above picture:

Underneath I mounted two more set of the same lights as in the mirror.  protected by the Trail Tough sliders and brackets.  Won't get hit by 90% or debris:


Tilt your head to the right 90* to see how this next picture works:

And they light up the underside damn well if I do say so myself...

And the back lights.  Same as the fronts.  The Trail Tough bumpers allowed for a prefect mounting location for the front and rear lights.  


All lighting courtesy of WAL-MART!  3 year warranty!  Can't beat that for 5 sets of lights for 94 bucks!
