I had them mounted, but I have a bent front rim and it was holding air just fine until they mounted the new tires. So needless to say it was flat when I got it home. So I ordered a new front rim, and filler her back up and had them mount it, but the tire was ruined from driving on it flat.

They chalked it up to manufacturer defect and got me a new one for free. So today i took the rim over and had the new tire that came in mounted.

The whole process was a few weeks long, and I did my diff right after i got it home so that delayed things as well.


Happy ending though, put a smile on my face. I daily drive a jeep wrangler, so needless to say it was quite exciting going for a spirited drive
I have a 98 Tj. My rainy day driver. Driving a Jeep for a couple of weeks makes the Z feel like a rocket ship!

Why do they call it a quick detailer when it actually takes me at least an hour to QD my car? She is now clean for the weekend.

I can wash, dry, vacuum, and clean inside of my Z in less than an hour. What on earth are you doing with the QD?

Divided into 22 sections for the body, windows, CF cans and tips, wheels, and tire dressing. 4-5 MF towels for the body, two for the windows, and two for the wheels. OCD!

Last night's weather report said clearing into the day today. Didn't check in the AM. They were wrong. It's about time the Z got a weather check anyway. She passes. Dry off in the garage.



I should just get over the rain thing. It's just rain not toxic waste. Or is it. East coast you can never really be sure.

Finally finished installing my SPL rear diff bushings. Wow that was a pain in the ****. Took me a week because it didn't want to go in very nice but now I am happy as it is tightened everything up back there and I don't have to worry about that shiznit busting again.
