i've seen a few JKs around base. I hate the rescue green JKU with xrc fenders and corner guards. waiting on my tires and all the other pieces I ordered to get here
I'm looking to get the Goodyear MTRs myself - seems no one I have checked with off base has them. Which ones are you going with on your rig? I think I've seen that green jeep.

i finally made up my mind on the Xterrains. it seems they will do better up here than the MTR/K would. i wouldn't run the old style MTRs in the mud up here if you paid me

I'm hoping to put a 2" suspension spacer lift on soon. Debating on 35's right now or 34's on the stock wheels. Looking at the 1.5" spacers as well. Anyone running anything like that or have any comments? Feedback is always appreciated.

If you're gonna run the stock wheels with that big of tires you will need the wheel spacers.

Hey welcome to the new guys up here. I'm in the silver two door, bumpers winch, kcs on the windshield, 33s black wheels, soft top. We've been getting alot of jks here lately. When I got here almost two years ago there were maybe two jks lol.. But yeah install parties are always fun, I need to throw a few things on myself.

Not much, most of its drifts from the wind but in the few spots it's untouched maybe a foot. It's gotten warm here a few times after it snowed, it was almost 40f a month or so ago, raining. I do snowboard so I do like snow.. But salmon fishing and hittin trails is sounding great right now haha
