[QUOTE=sixty5vdub;1976707]I bought my Nitto's from Topline Tire in Madison. Pretty much compare-able in price to Big 10.
I think Frankie (username Sushi) on this board works at the Topline on University in Hsv. You might try pm'ing him to see if he can hook you up.


I'll try that, but Top Line in Madison quoted me the highest - $1867!

Man ........ I paid less than that for 5 35x12.50 Nitto Mud Grapplers out the door. Are the KM2's that much more expensive?

The more I look at these moab pics, the more I want to go... I just dont think an un-locked, un-armored, and 33ed Jeep would do that well.

Any experience with Big 10 or Peoples?
Check out Riverside tires in Lacy's spring. They will probably have to order them but they usually have pretty good deals.

So after finishing exams i stripped the jk down to chip all the weird epoxy off the floor boards and herculiner the inside. I cleaned and sanded the inside thoroughly. I used three quarts of liner putting 2 coats on and so far has turned out really well with minimal runs and lumps.

I also cut the rear trunk out to give room for my coilover mounts i will be making, so stay tuned Also i made a new mount for my arb compressor and will be adding some mastercraft seats on all 4 corners.

And last i added some limiting straps to keep my springs from popping out...

Well, maybe I can make it ten (10) ! Been a member of the forum for a while but have not been faithful about checking in,,,

Actually have a farm across the line going up Old RR Bed RD. And a larger farm in Lexington, KY. My wife raises championship bloodline quarter horses for cutting.
I have been in the IT Integration business since I left UDS ( Universal Data Systems ) back in 1986, when Mark started Adtran.

So, me and my trusty 2008 DeepSea Blue Wrangler (4 dr ) spend most days runnimg up to Nashville and back ( or Memphis, or Chattanooga, or Knoxville ) where my larger clients are.

The only mods I have performed have been the lockpick and VR kit from CoastalTech on the MyGIG RER. Getting ready to burn the latest upgrade for the Nav system AND, trying to crack the code on the NAVTEQ CD which arrived this week. I want Navteq to stay in business but $199 for the most recent activation code? Hope not.

I'll wave at the next one of you I see!
