I really need to yank my spare, lot of good a 32.5" is gonna do me if I have a problem. An industrial can of Fix a Flat and a patch kit weighs a lot less anyway...

 

^^^^ funny story, my ol jeep had 37 superswampers on it, and i still the the 32inch spare, well i blew( got a stick stuck between the tire and rim) a tire muddin back at an old abandoned coal mine and i threw the spare on it, so i could get it to the shop, talk about a wild ride hahahahahahaha it was only like 9 miles away though...

 

My budget at the moment is about $1,500.

 

Well as long as you put the spare on the front it wont hurt anything really. Be one hell of a ride like hoss said lol. I actually had an old nissan pathfinder for my first vehicle and did about what hoss said, and I had 32" federal all terrains on it, not the best tire, but they were HUGE compared to the 27" spare lol. I felt like I was tipping over everywhere.

But yeah, I actually am going to remove my spare, I have the coverage from les schwab that they will come to me and fix my tire for me if anything happens thats not outside the norm

 

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate all of your input. I am planning on doing the headers/exhaust first and then getting into the intake. I am going to send my throttle body out to get ported/polished as well, I've heard it makes a big difference.

 

good plan you got. you dont have to spend alot on an intake either. alot of guys are making their own out of PVC from homedepot or lowes. i personally have a drop in k&n filter, and an airraid tube that eliminates the hemi hat. for my level of mods it flows just fine.
