Ok fellers I’ve got a real head scratcher here. I replaced the ENTIRE cooling system last summer with mostly OE parts and recommended aftermarket parts on this forum including G-05 coolant. I even burped air out of this thing a couple of days over a week and while it helped, this temp gauge...

Rotated the tires yesterday. Wheels were brake dusty... Bath time today!

BUMP still got em!

@Jamison C Thanks for the shoutout Bud! While I can't speak to snow performance at all as we don't get too much of that here in South TX, I'd like to corroborate everything else in this review! These tires grip really well, are quiet (even with a soft top) and feel confident driving at speed...

@Jamison C Have you wheeled them? If so, how was it? Haven’t gotten a chance to do anything other than dirt roads yet.

Went to a larger A/T. 10k miles on them. Rotated every 5k miles in a 5 tire rotation so two of them only have 5k miles on them. Keeping the Ravines as they’re original to my Jeep. Will dismount them when I get an offer. $800 obo. Please dm me with any questions or requests for more pictures...

Not a stock carrier but I have a Hyline Oversized tire carrier complete with the LED new in the box that I never used. Ended up finding a mopar rock crawler rear bumper that solved my clearance issue. Q-Tec never got back to me about the return... It’s this model...

I should remark for anybody that comes across this thread in the future that the MPG’s are great with these as well. I’m getting 16 mixed 60/40 city/hwy. Prolly 17-18 just on the hwy! I 2nd @Jamison C that these will be my go to A/T!

I have a set of Rubi Flares installed so they're a tad wider than a stock one but only maybe by half an inch or so. I cant remember exactly what the difference is but here's pic of what it looks like from the front. Hope this helps!

I didn’t either until I searched up threads on how much they weighed. Came up with a thread on this forum that explained the differences. Got curious and went and took a look at mine, lo and behold one didn’t match...lol

Picked up a set of Moabs and didn’t realize I had one that didn’t match until I got fresh tires and had them mounted. I have 4 of the 06 version and 1 03-05 wheel. Looking for that last 06 wheel! 2nd photo is the wheel I need, 3rd photo is the wheel I have to potentially trade! Thank y’all!

Got a deal on some Cooper AT’s for the set of Moabs I picked up a while back! Really liking them so far!

P.S. Your build is super cool @MountaineerTom!!!

I did a U-joint in my mom's TJ a few months ago and it sounded exactly like this. I would replace it first even if it ends up not being the problem. A $25, 45 minute job is an easy gamble as opposed to blasting the axle apart. Might just get lucky and have it end up being the problem.

Nice ride!!! Color me jelly on the Pintlers. It's terrible, I got these a day ago and am really enjoying them, but here I am mulling over the next set... it really is a sickness... if I had a set of 17s I'd really like to try that new Rugged Trek model in 265/70/17. Maybe they'll add more sizes...
