What are you looking for exactly (I have some Rubicon take-offs with 4100 miles on them if you're interested)?
Also recommend you compare discount tire.com
I purchased there then went to NTB and had them balanced. Still spent less than local shops.

Only one guy that was trying a very difficult obstacle called Log Jam - bunch of wet, muddy telephone pole logs placed sideways on a steep little rise . . . extremely slippery. No one stuck in mud to my knowledge - not even the stock 4DR (first pic below).

Stock 4DR that drove all over, albeit not without riding on the skid plates a little. He drove 4 hours from NE of Atlanta to reach Mtnside, but had a blast.



This is where we would regroup, air down, air up, etc. since there was some gravel to walk on.

More posing on Rev Limiter.

I'm definitely up for another ride shortly - maybe Skyline if we can get a pretty day sometime next week (unless an impromptu backpacking trip arises).

Thanks JK-Rubi for the tires and rims . I have them on and will try them out soon. I am now looking for a good set of spacers.
