    New tire question

    What about the spare? You do have 5 of the same tire right? If you have been rotating 5 then you are S.O.L. If you have been rotating 4 then move 1 of the 3 old ones to the spare and keep 2 old on one axle and 2 new on the other The reason why I only rotate 4 on my TJ Well I am lazy too

    Should I lift my KJ?

    I built my own trans skid out of 3/16 and reenforced it with 1/4" thick 1"X1" angle running front to back The Mopar version is junk The Mopar x-fer case and fuel tank are made the same as the skids they put on the TJ and JK as far as materials The engine skid is or was also a good heavy pcs

    The KJ is fine for mild to moderate trails with a lift and 245/75's But if you don't have skids and hooks get them first Then lift it and bigger tires Then put a locker out back

    New "micro" Jeep coming soon

    Well I like the idea of smaller but that is all I like We all know it will have independant suspension which ,like it or not, does not do well off road and is a pita to lift The new wranglers are to big some times even the 2 door version is to wide for older trails I parked my TJ next to a JK...

    2WD LO and the NP241J transfe case

    I will be putting the 2wd low on my TJ when I swap the ARB that is up front for a Detroit locker This way I can run most of the time in 2wd and put it in 4wd when I need to This will allow me to still make tight turns but have a near fail proof locker up front

    Rear Axle Swap

    By far not a reason If you know a mechanic that will do the work for free Then a Detroit True Track is a much better choice

    Rear Axle Swap

    I still fail to see the reason for this swap What is wrong with the diff you have? Most mechanics can easily rebuild an 8.25

    Tire size with 2.5 lift

    It will depend on the type of lift and the back spacing on wheels I ,as well as many many others, have fit 245/75's on stock wheels with nothing more than OME coils and shocks

    Tire Longivity

    Very long tread wear = very hard tread compound Very hard tread = poor traction ,even more so when cold Poor traction = bad I will watch but there is nothing for you to teach me I already know

    Bull Bar/Brush Guard Opinions

    ARB or build your own 1/4" is way way to heavy I would use 1/8 or even 3/32 for the "skin" and 1/4 or 3/16 for the "frame"
