I had just decided a few days ago that I want the 532's on my RT, seeing your car with them makes me 100% sure of it. Are you running the 15's or 16's? Looks like the +20 offsets?
There was a big sink hole spot in the road and I tried to cut away and the way the wheel was angled when I hit it caused it to pull the fender in. I'm thinking of making some power with it this year and just raising it to a safe height with some wheels with less offset. I don't plan on fixing the fender until then, twice istoo many times. lolol Funny/not so funny story, went to wash it today because it was filthy and the high pressure rinse ended up blowing my hood emblem off and breaking one of the posts in the back. lol
It looks like there are going to be a handful of JRSC wagons in GA this year!
My slave cylinder on my Comanche is leaking so it's really forcing my hand to do my transmission and transfer case swap I've collected parts for. Once I have that and a rear locker the Jeep should be 100% trail ready and good to go. I won't move on this thing until that's done. But I went ahead and picked this up locally so I can start storing the parts!
Love the car, I remember the first time i seen it at a variety meet when you first got it. You have came a long way.What wheels are those with your Rt center caps?
After letting it sit for a few months I jumped it off and did the tie rod ends last night. The steering was so bad and loose I hadn't even wanted to drive it. After doing just the ends I'm getting the itch to put some time in on this thing. Today I ordered new rack end bushings and inner tie rod lock washers from Honda so I can pull the inners out and adjust the pinion gear. Maybe I'll rebuild my EX spindles and throw those on finally! I'm really hoping CD1 will do a parking brake bracket so I can do a rear disk setup on this thing at some point.
While I had some motivational traction with this thing I decided to order some parts. I figured I'd knock out on of the backburner projects I've had for this for awhile. I went ahead and ordered the following for the complete pair of EX spindles I have.
OEM Rack end bushings
OEM tie rod lock washers
Hubs
Hub bearings
Brembo blank rotors
OEM Honda rotor screws
Moog lower balljoints
I'll assess whether I want to core out the calipers and buy new hoses when the time comes. I did the outer tie rod ends on Tuesday night and on the test drive threw the alternator belt off doing a 1st gear pull...so Wednesday I did an alternator belt. I have the new inner tie rods I'll do once my bushings and such come in.
I'm trying! haha I'm considering just putting the JRSC up for sale and having someone put together a B20V for me, it'd be less complicated of an install in my opinion and would have more room for growth. Not to mention my wagons LS would be nice for that DA I daily at some point!

It does look fantastic though I do love that wrap around signal on the front bumper, always been a fan of that EF9 look.
Bill - don't be giving me ideas! haha The corners and bumper lenses need a respray though.
greenteagod - Thanks man! I love the ef9 look so much!
