roof rack on an MJ? i'd love to see that, Redwolf

i like that look, sweet idea, Redwolf

got pictures of that? nice, Redwolf

have not seen that though, that's a good idea, i normally see jacks on one side and a shovel on the other, Redwolf

i've seen that before on here, sweet look and idea, Redwolf

I recently mounted my hi lift jack (today 2/8/2014) with 2 L brackets bolted into the bed, just curious as to how everyone else has mounted em, maybe some new ideas for the future, Redwolf

i just don't support china, i never have and never will, i'll go as far as payin way much more for somethin if i know i can get it made in good ol USA, Redwolf

thanks for the link, i'll check into that more and i completely forgot tire rack told the location of where the tires were made, i'm ok with everywhere but china, Redwolf

ok that bein said, how bout BFG and General? are they american or over seas? Redwolf

So why would you do business with a tire company that is admittedly screwing you by overcharging unless you can find a better deal to force their hand? If they can sell at a lower price why don't they? Because they stick it to anyone without a comparative price. If that is who you want to do business with fine. I prefer folks with more integrity. Walmart is the cheapest place to mount and balance tires near me, too. They are often about 1/2 of what the tire places charge. If you are going over-sized you will need to take the tires and rims in while off of the vehicle. They are not supposed to install non-factory sizes onto vehicles. The "newer used" is a great way to go because many people buy a tire size they do not like, a tire type the do not like, and the hard-core guys swap them out quickly as the tires are best when new. Bridgestone is a Japanese company that owns numerous brands and makes tires all over the world. It is funny because those of us who are old enough remember that the Japanese got their start ripping off everyone they could. Bridgestone began as a Firestone rip-off and now they own Firestone. Your Goodrich's are also foreign owned by Michelin ( France.) Both Bridgestone and Michelin ( remember them? The owners of BFGoodrich?) manufacture tires in *China* as does Goodyear and probably 90% of international labels. MAXXIS, which has a large following, is an entirely Chinese owned company the Cheng-Shin Rubber Ind. Co.,Ltd. ​As to the question at hand: I have bought tires locally, from TireRack, and I bought 4 mud tires for the MJ Tuesday 2/4/14 from NTWOnline.com. They were delivered today 2/6/14. I have had things I like and dislike about them all. If you buy a Chinese made tire try to stay with one made by the big companies and not a home-grown Chinese brand. Michelin, Bridgetone, etc... have their own plants in China and control of the product as well as in interest in maintaining their quality. Testing has shown the higher end Chinese-made tires to equal their rivals made elsewhere while the cheapest all-Chinese tire, like home brands in Eastern Europe for example, suck. so what are the american companys cause i thought bridgestone and firestone were american, Redwolf

i'll check out the coopers, i've heard of em but never really seen em in person, round here don't really sell em, Redwolf

thanks, pretty cheap site, Redwolf

why didn't ya like the bfgoodrich pete? that much i know blue, my dad has had the grabbers untill ya couldn't get em locally here so now he has the bfgoodrich thanks for the feedback and story, Redwolf

sweet :D i'm lovin those ATs but what's the difference between C and P other than price? Redwolf

thanks yall, right now i got my top 2 picks for AT tires, either the general grabber at2 or the bfgoodrich all-terraom t/a ko, but my list is a total of 5 tires, bridgestone duel a/t revo 2, firestone destination a/t, and goodrear wrangler armortrac and the general and bfgoodrich i listed as my top 2 picks, does anyone have any feedback on these 5 tires? Redwolf

nice MJ and i'm gonna go out on a limb and guess since you're on a trail you're in northern Va, Redwolf

i've been needin new tires since i got my mj inspected and with taxes right around the corner i'll be able to afford em without spendin my whole paycheck on a set of 4, i've looked at tire rack, 4wheelparts, 4wd.com and jcwhitney and it all comes to around 650 after shippin, just lookin for options cause i can always have my tires mounted and balanced anytime by my buddy, just tryin to find the cheaper route and yes i've checked around town at tire shops, Redwolf

aint got one to trade, only swb roll bar i've found my buddy won't let go of cause he's putin it on his mj, Redwolf

virginia beach va, Redwolf

not sure if i'm postin this in the right "forum" (lack of a better word) but i'm in the market for a lwb roll bar, but like everyone else i can't seem to find out locally, i've tryed google, ebay, craigslist, but all i can really find is some ugly aftermarket ones that don't even look like it's factory, so my question to yall is, where can ya buy one that's farely close to factory or what are the demintions for buildin one if anyone has done so, pictures would greatly be appreciated, Redwolf

i've seen this thread before, never saved it though like and idiot, does the reciever actually work? cause if so i have no problem weldin that together, Redwolf
