I've had my tires/wheels installed now for 2 days and I absolutely love them
Much more stable ride, great grip and of course I had to get everything that people say not to regarding tire/wheel size :happy175:
Looks great ! My eyes not that good no more so..I had to enlarge pic to see you have GY Authority LT tires.
Back spaced rims or spacers? Tire size 31 'X...?

Thanks bud- I appreciate everyone's kind words!
Yes they're 31x10.5 GY Authority A/Ts sitting on 15x8 TM5 wheels with 4.5" backspacing so no spacers here
Great combo so far and after driving down some slick wet roads today I know they'll do great this winter

If they wear anything like the Duratracs then they're great. Loved the Duratracs and wore forever. Make sure you have extra bumpstop in the rear. 5 inches with 8 inch wheel you can stuff, 4.5 inches of backspacing is going to hit the flares, so just run extra

I hope they perform well in all aspects- so far they've provided a very good ride with the wider track and they aren't too loud at all on the highway
I actually keep my AirLift filled with air so those are my bumpstops
So far so good! I will add a little more just to be safe

Drove it in high winds to the Inner Harbor in Baltimore for my friend's 99th birthday party.

Special day for a special woman.



I was very glad I drove the KJ and not the Astro...60mph gusts are not so fun.

Wow, 99, That is something to celebrate!

I tried to rake some leaves but they all blew into the neighbors yard. It was a good day.:gr_grin:

Pulled out of the gym parking lot on the way home and clicked over to 80,000 miles. It had 42,250 when I bought it, so another 4,501 miles and I will have been behind the wheel for just over 50% of the total.

Broke the Overdrive button, but now I have a new shifter and a new location for the overdrive button (well now a switch).

How is that wired? Is it wired default on, or default off? Been looking for info on this exact thing, not because mine is broken, moreso that i dont have to switch it off everytime!

No matter how you wire it the jeeps computer still has it as default off, I can leave the switch on and turn the jeep off and restart it and the jeeps still defaults back to overdrive off. I have never seem a kj with a shift knob that has been modified so I figured mines well help out others. I have always wanted a pistol grip shifter, and this shifter fit the bill and also matches the jeeps interior.

found out someone had windshield cowl off and looks like they had windshield replaced and too much of the windshield sealant pushed out so the 9 cowl clips couldn't lock into place...they then used glue and velcro to hold it in place.

found a mouse nest also, no residents
