bought a new set of fog lights
I picked up a set of 17" wheels off craigslist for $200 the other day. Today I got my X5 back from the shop with my new mud terrains on it. 245/70/10 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs. At just under 31" tall and 10" wide they surprisingly fit in the wells without rubbing. The E rated 3000# load capacity and 80psi max will make them great for towing, too.
I took em out for some mud holes and the tread worked great! I was able to crawl through all the sloppy stuff without too much wheelspin or momentum. They're hill climbing traction is also pretty surprising.
Believe it or not, I wasn't stuck here. I just got out for a photo and was able to crawl right out. These things are awesome!

Where did you get the driveshaft from and how much did it cost?
i got it from RCO. under $400. dealer wanted $600 - $1000 for a factory unit. CRAZY!!!
RCO was pretty cool to deal with too. they made sure i got the right one with the lift and all on the jeep.

really nice drive shaft. i'll replace the rear shaft when it goes out. the factory drive shafts suck and use a cv type joint.

^^^^cool! thanks Jason! ^^^^
I bought a spare set of driveshafts for the JK for $30! I got hooked up by another member.
Pulled the drivers seat to repair the release cable. And started to unbolt the roll cage to put the finishing touches on it finally...
