A little testing going on here…… not ready to install the lift for about two more months but it was time to put the tires on the beadlocks (tires and wheels sitting in the garage for about six months now) which my son and I do have experience with and we installed the tires on the beadlocks and I was like hey, what the heck…. curiosity….. let’s see what they look like or if they’ll even fit like that for a few pictures for a joke……….. I already have a Teraflex Long Arm, Rebel Recon coil over 6” king shocks set up waiting to go on it In approximately two months. I have to finish up on my wife’s jeep first…..lol. P.S. I tested the turning right there as it sits and you could probably go 7° each direction before it hits the back of the front fenders and the front bumper. It wouldn’t even make it out of the driveway if I tried.

What testing are you doing? Do you plan on keeping it like this?

Damn, that red looks good with those wheels. As noted by the others, I’m not sure what you are testing but I’m pretty sure you can see where you may have a little rub problem if you don’t throw in a lift.
If, however, you are testing to see how many people will use the word “lift” or the word “rub” in our replies, your test is very successful so far.

I’d say that’s going to have roughly the turning radius of an Iowa class battleship, but I learned from the movie ‘Battleship’ that you can just drop the anchor to get it to whip right around. The E-brake is your friend, I think to get the same effect.

Full stuff driving in the driveway.

Though I'd probably do this just to see what my new wheels looked like while I figured out what lift to do. As is, it would probably be challenged by a speed bump at the Mall.

Is it the taser the let’s you configure line locks? You’ll go through a lot of back tires that way but I’m sure someone out here will think you are cool for doing all those burn outs just to change direction.

That's a little close...
Testing how many bumps before the tire tears off the rails?
