Nope. I don't see any links or link fragments. :(

The best way to keep a truck is to ask just a bit too much. :D Worked great with my Dakota. :teehee:

DAMMIT! I never even got to go! :headpop:

Road manners aren't a concern for me with these. They'll be swapped on at the destination. I've been reading up on fitting larger tires on a KJ and it seems to be a bit harder than MJs, even though the Libby comes with bigger tires from the factory. :hmm:

The XJ and MJ sheetmetal differs at that location underneath.

Don't forget that the "frame" is also made of sheetmetal. Anything attached to it needs to have the forces spread out over an area.

Nope. MJs and XJs use a wide and short radiator the likes of which are not found in much of anything else out there.

One of the local XJ guys here in Michigan did the box steel replacement. One year later the box steel started separating itself from the sheetmetal due to the sheetmetal rusting at the welds. Another option is to use the plastic or aluminum tailgate caps from the latest Dodge trucks. Apparently the curve closely matches the rocker area of MJs and XJs.

BA-10 takes 75-90 GL-5 gear oil. The latest report from Chrysler says we can use 10-w40 (yup, engine oil) in the AX series transmissions. I have not been able to test that theory out yet since my truck is still in the garage on stands. :(

SSRs as an AT? :hmm: That's odd, but maybe it's relative to the other Swamper offerings like Boggers and Iroks. :D KJs should have backspacing similar to MJs (~5.25"), but we've only owned the Jeep for a week now so I'm still learning. My likely plan will be to get some TJ 15x8s. That should keep the tires tucked in nicely.

Don't forget the rocker guards. :D

While it is theoretically possible that I could throw them on the trailer next time I visit my sister, that's not likely to happen until springtime at the earliest.

I haven't measured ours yet, but my research says '06 was still 5 on 4.5 too.

Your baby deserves better. :D

Since I'm buying used, I'd probably take the first thing that comes by in decent condition. All I really want is for it to be super aggressive. :brows: Potential sizes are as follows: 29x10.5 SSR 29x10.5 SX 30x11.5 SX 29x8.5 TSL bias 215-85-15 TSL radial (29x8.5) 30x10.5 TSL radial I'm not sure I could convince my dad to do what's necessary to the KJ to fit 31s. At least not until the warrantee is up. :D

It's about 12 hours from Detroit to Atlanta. :D

Such a sweet truck, but your avatar looks like crap. If you want, email the fullsize image to me and I'll redo it and reload it for you. petermontie@hotmail.com

Anyone here run a 29 or 30 inch TSL or SX or SSR? How's that been working out for you? I'm thinking of selling my 29" trXus STS tires (all they do these days is prop up my 86 and that can be done by any ol' tire), then buy a used set of baby swampers for my "spare" set. This set would mainly be for use under Dad's new Diesel Libby when he wants to go offroad (hence the size limit), but I could also bring them to wheeling get-togethers to loan to someone who only owns car tires. Also, does anyone have a pic of said tires on a rig? Google hasn't been much help. :(

My computer says you're "active", so my guess is that it's on your end. :hmm:

Yeah, well you better not let the insurance company get their hands on your MJ. :thumbsup:

I have the fullsize 44 and 9" with 15x8 rims and 4"' backspacing and this is how far the 33x12.5s stick out (that's house door flashing I used to make some removable 2" flare extensions)

Dunno 'bout that. The 350 has its own set of complications that need to be overcome. Neither option is "easy" by any stretch of the imagination. At least the 4.0 stuff will bolt in (most of it anyway) if you get a complete donor Jeep. Trying to piece it together with junkyard parts could be a nightmare.

If I remember right, in MI you are only allowed to pass if: There is a dashed line or no line (for when you're going into oncoming traffic), there is an official lane to do it in (for when you're staying on your side of the road for the pass), and you aren't exceeding the speed limit to do so. That means you can pass on the right if some slowpoke is in the left lane, but not on a shoulder.

My reverse lights in the 88 didn't work at all, that is until I install the AX-15. :D My guess is that the switch was bad in my BA-10.
