Duratrac 33x12.5 on MB72
Just installed some stuff. 1.5" Performance Leveling Kit - Teraflex. Warn VR8000 winch. Duratrac 33x12.5 on MB72. Raptor lined tub black and grill/door sills silver to match paint. ACE Rock Rails.
I was worried about the spare on the back due to larger tire so I weighed the rubicon take offs with 32 in BFGoodrich MT = 71 lb. I then weighed the Duratrac 33.5 on MB72 alloy = 65 lbs. I have original 16 inch steelies and new 225 tires so I weighed them too = 53 lb. So the manual says not to exceed 50 lb but they come from the factory loaded beyond that and my new set up weighs 6 lb lighter.
Raptor liner was easy enough but I took the time to fully rouch up and remove goo on floor. I wanted the sills to match along with the edge of the tub rim with silver paint and then the inside to be black. Took about a week.
Decided to have a Warn on the front but got the cheapie VR8000 since I will not use it much.
I am just a casual off road user so I should be fine now. I like the look. I was real worried when I first mounted the new tires with the amount they stick out = 1.5 inches or so. I drove it and they are quiter than the BFGoodrich MT smaller tire. They ride nice and smooth and produce a nice little hum instead of the wah wah wah from the MT. I ordered them mounted from DTD without TPMS. Interesting, the Jeep evidently knows there are no sensors and does not flash a warning so no programming needed from the Flashpaq beyond the new tire height.
Here are pics of finished product. Top is from a banned vendor so they will remain anonymous.

LOL! Thanks..
That's odd.. I have no TPMS and my ding like crazy at start up and after 30 minutes of driving.. The shop I used was supposed to transfer the sensors from my steelies but goofed. Not sure if I want to bother at this point..
I just did 33" Duratracs and I am pleasantly pleased with how quiet they are. If they last as long as everyone else experiences it will be a huge thumbs up. Real happy with them
