    Off-road tires

    1040591 I am a very large fan of the Goodyear MTRs'. In fact I run them on my tow rig as well as my Jeep. Both sets are the new 37x12.5's and they are wearing as good as can be expected. The agressive tire tread makes for an outstanding offroad tire, yet they aren't too noisy on the road; nor...

    Steering problem with a 1985 cj7

    1040592 What it sounds like to me is that the lift-shackles/leaves are too tall for the steering setup. The pitman arm probably isn't the right length and you experiencing bumpsteer. If your lift is too tall for yoour caster you can have poor steering also. If it were up to me I would get...

    explorer pro comp

    1041741 The explorer pro comp kit is a good 'starter' kit. It is reasonable in cost, installation, ect. BUT-be prepared for a stiff and bouncy ride. This is due to their spring pack being a tad too short and the wrong spring rate.[addsig]

    rookie needs help

    1040241 If it were up to me, I would spend the money and buy a real lift kit. I have owned a TJ with a Rubicon Express 4" on it and I loved it. The ride was actually so close to stock I would forget that it was lifted. I'm personally not a big fan of body lifts due to the fact they are...

    99 TJ, considering lift, some quick questions

    1040242 Todd, I live in SLC so I know what your getting at. OK I'll try to answer your questions: First- Yes your tires will fit on the stock wheel; but they will 'balloon' on the sidewalls, so as soon as you can afford more wide wheels get them. Second- Yes you will need new shocks if you...
