Can't wait to see them!

Interesting info. Trying to decide on tires for our Wrangler and Grand Cherokee. I was very convinced to go with 35" tires on the Wrangler since we do mainly trails with lots of berms in them, and the Unlimited seems to rub right in the middle of the frame when going over some of them on the...

See this beast around town here about once a year.

Man, that's some good prices for WK2 parts. Definitely wish we weren't on the other side of the country!

Thank you friends! Unfortunately, she went to the local dealer this morning for a busted water pump. But covered by warranty!!! My wife finally gave the go ahead for her Jeep though. Picked up a Teraflex 2.5" lift, Pro Comp 7069 16x8 wheels, and a Barricade Trail Force front bumper for her JK...

Those Falken Wildpeak A/T3W are leading the pack for me right now. Would love to consider the Goodyear Duratrac, but at almost $50 more per tire, finding it difficult to justify the extra cost. Found a set of Kenda Klever R/T for a good price, but would be about a 4 hour drive to have them...

No tweaks at all. The stock tire size is 265/50R20, but a lot of guys are swapping to 275/55R20 because they fit perfect. Anything wider or taller, nope. Not with the air suspension on the Overland. And having the Hemi plus tow package means HD brakes, which rules out fitting a 17" wheel. Would...

Interesting read. Our Grand Cherokee Overland has the 20" wheels, and surprisingly, tires for it are cheaper than for an 18" wheel. One of the tire shop guys said though, it all comes down to popularity/availability. The size I am looking it is larger than factory, but still a size that comes...

Some great info here. Don't think I'll snorkel the Grand Cherokee, but may consider it on the Wrangler. And the ole W250 Power Ram.

Ok, THAT has got to be one of the most creative things I've seen. Very cool!

This ^^^ On the PC, was able to download a front end loader for him to drive around in. That's all he cares about! I really like finding some rocks and such to crawl over. Always a challenge searching for the best path before tumbling over.

Very interesting article. For my wife's Jeep, it's not a concern. Mama wants 35's, mama is getting 35's. Plus with her minimal daily driving distance, it wouldn't really matter. But I drive almost 100 miles a day on the highway, and rarely get to see any trail duty yet because of having the...

Anyone seen or heard about the Kenda Klever R/T? A tire shop posted up a set in the size I'm looking for. Seem reasonably priced compared to the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W, but looks to have a more aggressive tread pattern.

We chose the Teraflex 2.5" kit with the 9550 shocks. After researching tons of them, quickly ruled out the budget lifts (Rough Country, Superlift, etc.) and decided it needed to be something purpose built for going off road, and not just looking cool at the grocery store. AEV, JKS, and Teraflex...

That is awsome! Thank you so much. I definitely do feel timid appearing as the new guy asking where to go and all, but greatly appreciate sharing your suggestions and experiences.
