Best tire ive had. Love mine!
Yeap, I noticed you were rockin em too! And im with ya, just something about them!

My other 3 are getting seasoned but still have 60% tread probably, i forgot how much tread a new one had on it til today! Ive had excellent luck out of them, and they wear very well. I plan to buy a new one every so often til I have a whole new set again and plenty of spares if I decide to stay on 31's.

Thats kind of the fork in the road when it comes to my build plans lol. Once the primary to do list is done, it will either go 35's and chopped up route, or hang onto 31s and go for an expo themed rig. As much as I dig road trips and camping, it may very well be the latter. That is what a Jeep build is after all, tailoring your rig to meet your demands. Time will tell though.

Thats kinda what Im thinking. When the time comes, I can throw my 31s on CL and get my money back and then some. No stranger to 4.5" and 33's (see "Resistance" build in sig), but 31s are kind of the hand I was dealt for now so we will see how it goes. I still comb CL everyday for deals on tires and all that tho.

Either way, I dig the expo look and usefulness. Im just going to kind of let it all pan out and see what happens, Ill be just as shocked as you all. :laugh:

Thank you! Glad to see someone else sees it that way. Id like a trail only rig one day, but Im not really in this hobby to be an all out crawler. Just want Jeep that performs well enough to take out and have fun with and look good too. Im certainly not against trail damage, Im just not like some of my friends who purposely seek out denting **** for no real reason.

Ultimately, Im beyond just a Jeeper, i like to fish, hunt, and be in the outdoors period. The Jeep thing started as a means to "get out there" and just happened to turn into a fullblown hobby haha.

Exactally, you can wheel a rig hard while being careful. Thats what makes it more exciting.
 
Came home to find Brown Santa dropped off the 4th tire to complete my set. Love these tires.

Those are really nice tires, I had them on my old CJ7 in a 33", And they were solid, I didn't get the best tread life out of them, but I would get them again, and I loved the side wall tread ... that $h!t means business :thumbsup:

Oh yea, great tires! I got my set kind of by accident really and fell in love with them. They just flat out perform when you need them to. They arent exactly cheap but they are worth it. Gonna try and get my front two mounted today. Ive been running junk 31" AT's til I got this 4th one in. Cant wait to get all my parts on and try them out.

Little night shot I took last night heading home. Hood lights really help on backroads where deer are common.

Autopal H4 housings on factory wiring, low beams with HF lights turned on.

I love my pillar lights, i run the warn 3.5" floods and they light up everything in the dark blind spots to the left of the tires and headlights.

Hell yea, Im considering mounting 4 low profile lights under the front roof crossbar to flood the hole area out front.

I love the look of apillar/hood/cowl mounted lights from inside. Gives off the "apocalypse ready" kinda vibe, and they stay pretty well protected from there too.

Hell yeah they do! I want a 42" led lightbar to go in between factory rails, buuuut gots other thing to get first. Lol

Thats not bad really, I just cant bring myself to spend that on lighting yet. Maybe when I run out of other stuff to buy (like that happens lol).
It is expensive, but the pros outweigh the cons. And theyre bright as hell!
