what kind of MT's? siping makes the difference in the rain on the roads. i had the mickey thompson baja belted, and i loved them, but they puckered my little bum right up on the road in the rain.

of course, this was before ESP was put in jeeps.

My wife's already asking when she can drive the JK... I told her she can, but only after it's nice and "broken in." How long do you think it takes to "break in" a Jeep REALLLLY well? I'm thinking 30,000 miles or so...

TOO LATE!!!! I was going to warn everyone that this is just a ploy to get us to turn over our beloved jeeps to wives/girlfriends! Just stick with "it's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand" and leave it at that!!!!

30k, or whenever you get your next Jeep.

wouldn't want to pass one down until it has been thoroughly evaluated for safety and drivability ya know..

:whoaisme: yup, too late for sure. My fault.

However, as part of my Evil master plan, it works out in the long run. we need another vehicle in the somewhat near future 1-2yrs at best... SOOOoooooo... if i get her hooked on this, i might be able to get what i want on the NEXT jeep. i made several conscessions on this one to appease her, and she knows i am not totally happy with it because of that...so... if i keep working this angle (and suckup ALOT *L*) i just may end up with a 6spd Rubi...

at least it sounds good to me in my head, and the other voices agree with me too.

I tried to get her into the Jeep thing . She still hates climbing into mine with a 1 3/4 inch lift (She's only 5'3). It will only get worse, the tires will raise it another 3/4 of an inch or so. I guess her being a licensed masseuse makes up for a lack of interest in the JK.
