Jeep + Snow = Fun.

 

Southwest Side of Chicago (Mt. Greenwood). 07 JK Unlimited Silver.

 

Checking in from Crystal Lake.

I have had my (Jeep) Green JK for over a year now. I was the first person in IL to get a third row seat, we love it!

Just ordered an olympic 4x4 rock bumper with a receiver hitch, and a Snowsport HD aluminum plow. I will plow for wine.

I've also talked to a local welder about ptting in a tailgate rollcage to protect the critters in the rear row in case of a rear end collision. This is my next project. I will upgrade to A LoD rear bumper at the same time (Cargo box crumple zone on tire rack).

2" lift with 34" BFG's in the planning stage!

Lots of little electrical/AV mods done.

Also have Thule roofracks drilled in with polyurethane filler for the shell, so far, so good!

Thank-You JK Forum!!!!!

 

Hey Redneck,
You ever do any mudding off of 31 in crystal lake?

 

Looking for a JK member in or close to Springfield, IL.

I want to buy a little harley X90 Mini bike. the owner of the X90 lives in Sprinfield. I am looking for someone to pick this up and maybe store it for a couple of months till my son, who is a over the road truck drive can get up in that area.

This is a very small bike (would fit into the back seat of a JK) Just looking for a hand.

Don't want to do the deal unless I can work something out as far as pick-up...

Thanks Boots

 

Not yet..... But this time of year I think were playing in snow. BTW, what kind of tires/wheels do most of you exreme jeeep guys run for daily drivers? Thinking about getting some 16" steelies with 34 x 8 BFG AT's...

 

I would say 50/50 Mudders and at's. i do a lot of driving , so i prefer the At's.
I can also use the tire as a scape goat for why I didn't make it over an obstacle.

 

where at off of 31 do you wheel "can you give cross streets so i can google it and as for tires and rims what size rims you got now , im running bfg km2 305-65-17 (33") they are great low highway howel not great on gas i lost 2-4 mpg but they look good
