then I found a good deal on some used rims $250 for five 15x8", they payed over $1200 for them new, the guys wife had them on her jeep when they joined a 4x4 club, then she decided that she wanted black insted of chrome, so they got new rims mirrors and grill.

they lie! sorry but you grossly over paid for chrome mods. "they" may have paid 1200 for wheels with tires. I would through them back through his front window.
but heck If your happy with them, who am I to say.

I live in Alberta Canada, and stuff up here is a lot more then in USA, if they got them on ebay 5 rims is still $340 without shipping, $10.95 shipping is only in states not Canada, for shipping to Canada it would be over 10 times that much for shipping, So it would still be $500 for five rims, that's still twice what I payed. If they got them up here I can see them paying $250 a rim.

But thanks for the info, it's so stupid that we pay way more for the same thing as you guys >:( Calamini 6.5:1 gears are $1,050 up here, that's what my rebuilt tcase with the gears cost including the core charge from RRO.

I recognize that sort of high steer setup!  When I put some Sammy axles under my SJ-410 it had the same setup, the upper arm mounted to the kingpin in a Toyota style setup.  Then I sheared all of the bolts off when starting back down Moab Rim on it's first run out.

I recommend getting a new arm that also braces off of the brake calipers, or adding the brace yourself.  :)

I already broke the bolts, so I got 10.9 grade bolts and built a brace ;), I'll try to get some pic's of it here.

Then the tires came 33x12.50x15 TSL bias ply, $1100 for 5 tires about 75% tread, 75% of what they cost new up here, as always you find a better deal a week after you buy them ::) 5 34x10.50x15 LTB'S 90% tread for $750

Looks good!  Here is what my SJ-410 looked like after the SPOA and 33x12.5" tires back in 2004.  :)

Looks good, but I don't like the rims, my style of rims look way better :laugh:.

Ok here's some pictures of the brace I built for the steering, it hasn't broke yet and it's had more stress then before the brace.

I got a few tack welds holding the floor in, and made the front wheel well and got it all tacked in place.

Here's few better pic's of the steering arm and brace, tried to get a better weld on it but it didn't work out :-[ (still learning to weld) but the one on the bottom looks allot better. Pictures aren't the best, used my ipod camera.
