Winter  the plan is to transfer my snowplow onto the wifes Durango, just to get through winter, going to cost me thou- gotta buy mommy a new SUV for her B-Day soon. Then the cherokee goes under the knife, but by next Spring, convince the little wifee that I need a Trailer and a Tow Rig,
-wish me luck, going to be a lot of suckin-up over winter
I think the V8 Magnum in this gas gusller should push snow just fine

Are ya gonna take the front of that fender off? Those fenders always did stick out too far and bump things.

picked up a set of matching 8 bolts /35 boggers for a great price last spring, to bad they dont fit my heep right now, I dont think D30 and a welded 8.25 would like me much, going to try to keep it low, a lot more fender cutting I guess and I'll make will fit

I am doing the same thing. I have the rear end. It is 67" wide. My 38s when I get them will stick out about 9". But that is a good thing because I have a two door and can hack into the outside skin and not disturb the inner fenders. I am going to fab some tube fenders and then continue with something soft like garden border to completely cover the tires when muddin'. I like to wheel clean.
