Haven't posted in a while, so here is an update.
Update for Winter 2007:
This winter Michigan got hit with a whole lot of snow. In early march my front pinion seal started to leak and since it was about 20*F I opted to take it to the dealer. I think it what caused it leak was because I went through about 8-10" of snow (not exactly sure), I got a little stuck, put it in 4LO and I think I pushed it to hard. Oopps..got it out okay, no problem there. I'm glad that I didn't front axle didn't crack! That would have been a PITA!

Yeah, they work, pictures are great. I never got the hang of Destinations' side walls, all bald, but they got great tread pattern. Red Ring.... NICE!

Your jeep just needs Rene fenders, and it would have been great! Otherwise, clean and very nice. Enjoy your jeep.
