this sucks!
i want better tires but can't afford the lift or the gears (not to mention tires). so i guess i'm going to be waiting a nice long while. mean time i gotta make sure to be really careful off-road cause my oil pan is so damn low on this thing. lose lose i guess!

 

The cheapest way for ground clearance is a budget boost. If you get yourself a 2-2.5" budget boost, you can do it fairly cheaply, and get a couple of buddies to help put it on. You will get that belly up a little higher off the ground. Upgrading tires only gives you a lift of 1-2", and costs a fortune.

 

no i know bb are the best.. i have on planned out used for a clean hundred bucks! just don't want to lift and keep these tires

 

What size tires do you have on it? You have the stock steel 16's or the 32" tires?

 

Meh I don't mind it...it's not the greatest but I haven't had any problems with mine.

 

i have the stock 32's on right now.. i can't see having a one inch bigger tire can make such a huge difference at 60 in 6th i'm over 2000 rpm. how can how can one inch drop the revs over 1000 rpm?

 

Just picked up 35's tonight. Interesting to read the responses and see what my experience will be like.

 

are you running 3.21?
if so please keep up posted

 

I have an X with 6 speed. I'll let you know what happens or what my experience is once i have them on.

 

I have an X with 3.21's and 35's.
Its not that bad, however I accept the fact that my Jeep will never be a sports car. I do not do much highway driving. Offroad, I use 4LO to make up for the lack of power. I have driven it this way for 8 months, and it will probably be a while longer until I can afford gears.

I say drive er' !
