I’ve had the Nitto Mud Grapplers that are phenomenal in the mud but are very heavy, wide and loud. I think you’d have to move to 33x13.50 however. Oh and the sidewalls are VERY stiff on them. I’ve also had Cooper STT Pros that I was a big fan of but Definitely not as aggressive as the Nittos.

Absolutely. Main reason for the question is I’ve been planning/considering on either turning my Jeep into a ranch truck or getting a stock TJ and converting that. I understand that legally that makes no difference in its tow capacity. Most of my towing would be on or in very close proximity to...

Very nice. For us power was never an issue but without ABS and getting rained on the whole time with mud tires braking was my biggest concern. There is a pretty steep mountain road down there that I was concerned about the whole drive down but being down in 1st and 2nd I barely had to press the...

I built this 6x4 camp trailer to tow behind my Jeep for a week long trip to BBRSP. Fully loaded it ended up weighing about 1,700 lbs. I was so thankful for mrblaine’s BBK cause I couldn’t have imagined trying to stop that at all with the stock brakes. I would definitely say towing was...

I’m curious on what allows for the LJs 3,500lb tow capacity vs the TJs 2,000lb capacity. Is it STRICTLY because of the 10” increase in wheelbase or is there some other difference that allows for the increase?

Idk how much of a difference I felt between those same two sizes with my experience as well but I definitely noticed a difference when I went to some 38x15.5r15s. Obviously the diameter is gonna play a big role in that but once they are aired down I can cruise over terrain I used to just cut...

Did you disconnect the lines/hoses before dropping the tank the whole way?

I’d say it’s definitely worth doing if you can’t find a shim stack that works. I didn’t want to spend the time or money shopping around finding some that may have worked just to find out they didn’t. I ordered a few sheets of different thicknesses and cut out a stack that got me where I needed...

I did something similar with a few of those sheets in different thicknesses for a R&P install I did on my truck recently. Hopefully OP doesn’t run into the same issue.

The ring and pinion? New from motive.

This is 5 thou added. Back to 8.5 thou on the backlash which is right where I want to be. Thoughts?

This is about 8 thou off previous. Was having a hard time getting 10 thou with my shin stack. Edit: 8.5 thou on backlash too which is pretty much perfect. Thoughts?

I removed 5 thou and this is my pattern. To me this seems roughly the same. Thoughts?

I thinned it out a little more and ran it through a few more times

I did. Seems like I put too much. I can try and thin it out a bit
