That should look good with the yellow. Maybe with pastel blue accents.

well its official i passed the career ready 101 course and on May 11th-June 19 i go to Ft Scott Community College to attend their truck driving school so i can get my CDL and hopefully provide for my family better than i have been so if i am not seen or heard from don't worry fella's im just working on getting a higher education........ i swapped the 315-75-16s for some 245-75-16s and it helped keep my trans from slipping as bad and i had no loss of Fuel mileage (even factoring in tire size mileage calculations) So i didn't really lose anything and probably extended the life of my trans in the process i also made a new wiring harness from scratch and eliminated my electric gremlin in the process, the fire had made a mess and i went with a 1 wire alternator so i was able to remove quite a bit of unnecessary wiring and it looks much cleaner under the hood

Unfortunately, I don't have a vehicle to drive so I have no way out of town. I may have one located here locally, crossing fingers

Bought a nice set of used wheels, new 33x12.5R15 General Grabber Red Letter tires, and a full set of color-matched mint doors that I was previously missing for the YJ. Going to look incredible by this time next week when the tires arrive

Is that bigger than your current set? I don't remember what you had on there originally.

those General Grabbers are some of the absolute best long lasting tires i know of and on the national list of tire's they rank 3rd for durability and longevity my brother in law has a set on his DD in 35" and had ran them for 3 years and absolutely no sign of wear and he lives on a gravel road and is constantly mudding and trail riding with them they should make a great tire for you...80 F150 on the left is the truck i'm talking about
