Are you going to powder coat the wheels to?

 

LOL!! thanks. we are definitely into using our jeeps really hard and pushing them to the limit but, NOT into senselessly abusing them. for us, a lot of the fun is trying NOT damaging or break them. certainly, that takes a lot more effort and skill.

regarding our tires, i think in total, we got about 46,000 miles on them now and, while they are low on tread and really torn up, they still served us well all summer long and, if i had to, i would push them another 20,000 miles

 

actually, we're having the rings painted white to match our jeep - the wheels are already powder coated black. of course, they won't last longer than the first trail we run

 

Finally somebody that understands the way i wheel

 

This must be the conversion kit you told me about. How about some Nittos this go around?

 

oh man, i would love to but already picked up a set of toyo's again. we hope to run nitto trail grapplers on our other jk though and, now that i know the mud grapplers are available in a 40x15.50/20, there may be plans for set for moby in the future

 

What does an average season cost you in repairs? I would think that, even though you wheel Moby as hard as you do, the mods and experience behind the wheel would really minimize the trail damage. The avoidable stuff at least. All metal breaks eventually.

 

man, i don't know. we've been making upgrades along the way so, every year it's a bit different. body damage is the only wild card and this has only been the 2nd time we've beaten moby good enough to warrant repairs.

 

Well, we finally got Moby back from the body shop along with our new ATX Slab rings painted to match. A big thanks needs to go to Alan over at Morrey's Collision for doing such great work and for getting this done in time

Here's a shot of the body work - good as new...




Here's our new color matched bead lock rings...


And finally, dropping Moby off over at Off Road Evolution to get the axle work done....

 

Awesome....!
