Congrats on the lift and wheels Dumke. Sorry to hear about the klunk.

I've never looked into it but, we can service the tranny? Its not a lifetime transmission?
And on that topic... What do I do being that I have no clue if mine has ever been serviced and I just rolled over 73,000 miles. Am I safe to do a full service and swap in synthetic?

Yes, I have done my tranny twice now. You could take it to a trans shop and save yourself some labor and mess, but spend the money, or you can just do it yourself. Its kind of a pain in the boot, but it isn't that hard as long as you have the space, time and a helper. If you want more specifics, PM me and I will break it all down for you. Otherwise, yeah, at that mileage, I would say your tranny is suffering if you have never done a fluid/filter change.

Mine had the fluid and filter done rght before I bought it, and the previous owner said it smoothed out the shifting considerably. Maybe your trans was passing a clot so to speak.

Dude.....sorry to hear about the expensive news, but I'm happy about your lift and new tires. Did you get the biggest you could fit on them? Moab is just around the corner.
Peace.

Tbh I have no idea. I dont even know the number for tires. I think was 285 something. I know its sad if they dont fit I will either A) make them fit or B) Have them exchange them. I know the tire size will fit tho I read via search and I know I may have to take hammer and saw to some of it but that is ok. My only worry is it pertruding<sp> out from wheel weel were it sticks out too far but I really think I am safe with numbers I used for rim size and wheel combo. But time will only tell when I get the bad boys on this weekend.

Dood...sorry to hear about your funky shifting, but I'd start with a flush & filter change (go syn) before anything else.

As far as the tires sticking out past the cladding, it can easily be remedied with the use of rubber flares from JC Whitney.
