I found a couple of pics of my jeep in stock form when I bought it in in March of '07.

The prior owner stuffed 31x 10.50 BFG all-terrains into the fender wells, the only reason they fit is because of the soft top and 4 banger. I'm not a huge fan of BFG AT's. They work OK on the road and on sand and dry trails but their limits are quickly realized when they encounter what we call in the northwoods "loon s**t" mud, no bottom, black, and very sticky. The BFG AT's have a hard time cleaning themselves out in that kind of stuff. Actually some mud tires even have trouble cleaning themselves out in the "loon s**t".
