What are you looking for exactly (I have some Rubicon take-offs with 4100 miles on them if you're interested)?
Also recommend you compare discount tire.com
I purchased there then went to NTB and had them balanced. Still spent less than local shops.

Only one guy that was trying a very difficult obstacle called Log Jam - bunch of wet, muddy telephone pole logs placed sideways on a steep little rise . . . extremely slippery. No one stuck in mud to my knowledge - not even the stock 4DR (first pic below).

Stock 4DR that drove all over, albeit not without riding on the skid plates a little. He drove 4 hours from NE of Atlanta to reach Mtnside, but had a blast.



This is where we would regroup, air down, air up, etc. since there was some gravel to walk on.

I'm definitely up for another ride shortly - maybe Skyline if we can get a pretty day sometime next week (unless an impromptu backpacking trip arises).

Thanks JK-Rubi for the tires and rims . I have them on and will try them out soon. I am now looking for a good set of spacers.
