Default Got a little braver with the brand new baby

Took her out to some deeper puddles, muck, limestone and coral ridden paths with a buddy. Got stuck, got out again and rode some more. Definitely going to need bigger wheels and tires.

Nice pictures. I have a stock Sport JKU, exactly the same color. Except for the Alloy rims and 32's mine is exactly the same as yours. It is still amazing what a stock Wrangler can do. I went out with my friend yesterday into the mountains and he has a Moab edition with a 3.5 inch lift and 35's, his passenger was amazed at how I was able to go everywhere his went. It did take me a little longer but I still kept up. I always run my Jeeps stock until I can't do something. Getting stuck in the mud has very little to do with tires or lifts. I've seen big ass rigs get stuck in not much mud, and stocks go through deep mud and water and come out the other side.

I learned a lot of the do's and do not's that day. It was a blast despite getting stuck but I'm aware of my limits. I'm trying to work towards a 2.5" lift from teraflex and 33" tires.

For that kind of stuff, I would definitely recommend some new tires. Lift, it's all up to you, you'll get 100 different suggestion. TF is a good lift. You'll like the 2.5" and 33"s.

Thanks for the advice. I ordered the BFG km2 m/t's in 33" yesterday along with 17" procomp series 97's. I was definitely considering the TF 2.5" bb with shock extensions but quadratec told me that for just 40-50 dollars more I can get the full kit with shocks. Sounds like a good idea to me. What's your opinion?
