    What size 33” tire can I use on this set up without issues?

    285/70R17 should fit perfect without rubbing. Mine has the same lift on it with 1.5” wheel spacers with 295/70R17 and they just barely rub under the right flex, but that will be remedied with flat fenders and different rock sliders next.

    Looking for spring suggestions

    I have rancho 2” lift springs and fox 2.0 shocks just installed and i have a nice ride now. Of course this is judging from previousy owned 1995 yj so this is lile a luxury car to me. And also i have yokohama geolander MT tires and they are a pretty good and quiet ride for mud tires.

    Best all-terrains for snow

    I have to say i have always gone with all terrains until i purchased this jku and it has Yokohama geolander M/T tires. I am amazed how quiet and nice they drive on the highway for a mud terrain tire.

    My new Fox 2.0 shocks ride better than Rancho 9000XL shocks

    For the price of about $130 per shock for fox a new set would probably more cost effective than rebuilding unless you are able to do it yourself. If had to do it again knowing how these ride i would go fox again.

    My new Fox 2.0 shocks ride better than Rancho 9000XL shocks

    I tried them at all settings and they were ok. One problem i had was the front shock upper bushings were not replaced when Rancho shocks were installed by previous owner and stock rubber bushing were abused and blown out. All in all no matter how the Rancho shocks were adjusted they were not as...

    Should Jeep Wranglers wave to Gladiators?

    Now i have to say in all honesty it depends on what she looks like and how she looks at me and i don’t give a damn what kind of vehicle it is, sure as hell i’ll wave back 🤣🤣🤣

    Ozzy our 6 year Cattle dog/weiner dog mix. Has to go everywhere with us. Great guard dog can be your best buddy but beware he can only guard and concentrate on one person at a time, if he is with me he will protect me and growl at most anyone who approaches including the wife, then if he is with...

    Blue Ox Flat Tow Baseplate & Aftermarket Bumper

    I did nothing with extra ends on bracket at this time. I will probably add a bracket at the ends to crossmember for added strength, also i am going to a few small welds where brackets meets bottom edge of crossmember. I am not sure about all the extensions with ready brake onto hitch receiver...

    Suspension bracket upgrades

    I know that, the jeep is nice for the a/c. The yamaha is warm and very comfortable for the cooler seasons and mountain trails. Loving both now and being able to have both worlds. And just finished the tow bar set ups for two jeeps today including mine and buddies fully loaded rubicon. He wanted...

    Suspension bracket upgrades

    I spent about 12k rebuilding utv and so many accessories and upgrades, no one could touch it and make it like me for that cost. That is my get crazy fun machine to get places real fast to explore. The jeep will be the pleasure cruise exploring ride, although the yamaha is super super comfortable...
