That looks about as silly as my previous 2022 Wrangler Willys XR with the LT265/70R17 Mastercraft Snow Tires I ran for a bit….

You sold it?

Since the Challenger will never see any winter use, I did end up buying a 2006 Grand Cherokee Limited HEMI for my weekend / winter driver.

So….what’s up with this seemingly good guy getting banned?

I'm going with 35s.

Everything I look into with 37s just involves me spending money I don't really want to spend next year.

We got a lot going on in life right now, and if it means I can't run as crazy hard trails, not a big issue for now. I need stability and I don't need extra costs when I start breaking stuff.

So 35's for now, 37's in a couple years when life gets a little quieter.

I'm in the 35s camp. This is a daily driver 1st and a trail rig as necessary.

I've gone through this debate and what I gotta give to get that extra trail or 2 I'm getting with a lift and 37s is more $$ than I can justify.

Do I wanna spend $5k and do everything that really needs to be done to run 37s and daily it? Yes but I hold back.

I trust well see you in 37s but 35s make a lot of sense!

That's what it is for me. I do want to be in 37s, but a smart and wise man in my situation would choose 35s.

There's nothing wrong with running 35s for 2 years. It'll allow me time to get my Jeep to the level where I can comfortably, successfully, and appropriately run 37s without issue.

I have a small handful of things I would want to do before I would run 37s in the perfect world, those two years will allow me to do that. Until then I can focus my off-roading skills on gaining better technique.

A life lesson I learned a while back, when it's meant to be, it'll be easy. If you have to force it through, you may achieve it, but it will be a tough road. Patience is a virtue for a reason, it was a tough lesson which took me a long time to learn, but I value it at this point.

The way I look at it 35s can't be that bad or they wouldn't be slapping them on factory Jeeps with a warranty. Yeah sure they put a little bit of lift on them mostly bump stop to keep the tires from rubbing and ship them out. Jeep didn't see fit to upgrade steering parts or axles or anything like that beyond what a regular Rubicon comes with so what does that tell you?

I think 37s/38s are fine for the most part without a lot of upgrades if you don't plan to beat your Jeep up needlessly and you proactively replace parts as they wear out.

He started preaching holier than thou bullshit that wasn't appreciated by the community. That, of course, is completely within the rules, but I'm guessing something snapped and he posted a response that exceeded the rules a bit too far.

That's likely how Old Jeeper earned his pink slip, too.

I don't know what this means.

Geez, I feel old.

Edit: Nevermind, Treds filled me in. (A know it all) got it.

 

[Ratbert]

I don't know what this means.

Not quite "you're going to Hell for not being fully forthcoming with your insurance provider", but it got damn close when he started pointing to Bible Commandments that he perceived others to have violated.

 

[Heimkehr]

You, Sir, are a man of style and substance.

@Heimkehr was nice enough to send me his old unused hood struts from Red line tuning, coupled with me ordering some mounts from red line tuning myself...

So I was able to get these bad boys installed this afternoon!!

I thought these ones that go on the hood we're going to be harder to install than they were, actually not that bad.

Took me about 20 minutes total, and that was with the rain.

You know I've never really thought much of Redline tuning. Honestly I always thought they were overpriced for what you were getting, but after installing this kit, just these red toggle switch releases alone totally make it worthwhile. I don't know if I'd spend any more than $100 for them, but they are a lot better than I thought they're going to be. Very smooth and simple, and work very effectively.

Thanks again @Heimkehr , You ever need anything brother, let me know!!!

I absolutely love them, one of my favorite mods.

@Heimkehr, cool

Looking good Beau.

Going to be drilling (2) three and a half inch holes in the Jeep sometime this weekend.

Largest holes to date, though technically not in the Wrangler itself.

Beggars can't be choosers; I just like drilling holes! Don't believe me? Just ask my wife!!

I'm taking guesses now as to what exactly these three and a half inch holes are for. First correct answer gets tagged in a post with my favorite GIF!!
