    Help with skid plate options

    No, I ended up selling the jeep before I could get around to it. I’m currently in a jku, but will definitely get another tj when the kids get older.

    Cooper Evolution M/T Tires

    I will say I put my XJ in a ditch while pulling a boat during a rainy day. I don’t really blame that on the tires, that’s was my fault for over loading and not hooking up the trailer at the correct height. Plus with no ABS, I slid right off the road.

    Cooper Evolution M/T Tires

    I’m not familiar with snow driving or snow tires since we haven’t had snow here in a decade, but don’t the evos come with predrilled holes for spikes? Do you guys actually use features like this or is it a gimmick?

    Cooper Evolution M/T Tires

    I put them on 3 of the jeeps I’ve owned in the past year or so. None are daily drivers, used mostly on the road with some sand/mud trail use. I think they look good and works well in this southern terrain. I have pics of them on the second page of this thread on my other rigs.

    Looking for a smoother ride on-road

    Most of the recommendations are really easy to do. I would look at upgrading what you have and doing it yourself by using some of the forum how to threads. ZJ steering upgrade and ranchero’s would be a good start, at about $400 for everything. All new quality brakes, rotors, bushing and ball...

    Cooper Evolution M/T Tires

    Not sure about Performance since I haven’t run the STTs, but I like the looks of the evos on the older rigs better. I’m on my 3rd set and have no complaints.

    Should I stick with the 17" JK Wheels?

    I think your jeep would look and preform better with a 15” aftermarket..

    Sahara Beach rig

    First time starting with a completely stock tj. My goal is to keep it looking as stock as possible with the build focused on beach cruising and light sand/mud trails. No rocks here on the beach and I don’t plain on driving to find them. Here’s a pic of the jeep when I picked it up three...

    What has happened to Quadratec?

    Im not saying they drop ship everything, my recent order from them had two out of the three items shipped directly from them. The advance adapter SYE in the order was drop shipped from advanced adapter and wasn’t in stock. I knew this because I originally was going to order directly, but they...

    Weird metal on metal noise when driving and braking

    I feel ya, sometimes the simplest jobs can turn into a nightmare. “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it“. Is a saying for a reason.
