My stockers are buttery smooth but they sag pretty bad with just a few hundred pounds. They still have no problem clearing my 265/75s though. I'm sure either set will be an improvement. My truck just floats over the back roads and I don't want that to change.

I'm needing a set also. I would lean towards the M/T version because I plan on towing my boat with the Mj someday. But at the same time a good ride without a load is important too. Does anyone know how the M/T springs ride?

I flew from Denver to SanFrancisco to buy mine. The guy lived about 20 minutes from the airport. We settled on a price the day before. I got a super cheap ticket but told him it cost a mint. I said if the truck picked me up at the airport I'd take it. The guy was honest and I didn't even need the two checked suitcases full of exactly 50 lbs of tools each. It was a great drive home that gave me plenty of time to bond with the new truck. I've been wanting to buy another toy from far away just for the journey....... My vote is buy one as far away as you can. If you want it and the deal is right go for it.

I don't drink much anymore but my favorite beer is Boulevard Wheat out of the tap with a lemon wedge. It tastes like candy and I wish I had one right now.

How crazy... I saw your yellow XJ when we were working on Prospect and shields... Funny how a vehicle obsession warps your memory... It's like, "Oh yeah, I remember that. It happened right after we saw that Red MJ/XJ."

My Mj is faded, no clearcoat brown.. With the pioneer hockey stick stripes and I have my icons off my xj on it... you might gave seen it last year when we did Drake east of meadowlark... We were all over the main roads last year..

I am a traffic god... I don't make the traffic light, but I do make it back up from light to light... If you are running late again during the day SirSam, stay away from Drake (Meadowlark to Dunbar... We are taking lanes out in both directions... People get so mad in work zones.. I think its funny... We have a flagger that will stop the last car out of a huge line... I laugh everytime... If you drive thru I'm in the loader with the jack hammer...

It starts with e cigs and then before you know it you're driving a Prius!!!

I think people are foolish for spending money on smoke that will kill them and for seeking an alternative to simply save money instead of their life. If it is too expensive, then just quit. The ecigs will cost money too. Guess how much quitting with will power cost? Add to that the health benefits. Any fool could see it is the best choice. It's about cost right?

I agree.... I did the same thing. I smoked for 10+ years. At least a pack a day, sometimes two. One day I didn't have any cash and didn't want to charge them on my credit card so I went without. After I made it through that day at work, I told everyone I was quitting. I am a man of my word and didn't want to hear "told you so." That was over 5 years ago. Never touched them again. I had always chewed Copenhagen ever since middle school and shortly after I stopped cigs, I quit chewing too. No offense to anyone who smokes, but I like rubbing it in that I quit. I am very proud of myself for it.

Beat me to it com.anche kid.... I think they did the same thing last year....

If it's a Renix, good possibility the TPS is bad then. I ruled the TPS out long ago with a replacement. To the OP my IAC gets gummed up and cleaning it works for me. It doesn't even look that dirty but it is a constant maintenance item on my mj.

Clean the IAC again. I have to clean mine every couple months or it likes to idle high. I bet the op has a Renix too.

How did he get it muddy :dunno: ?

Has anyone seen the the new Cooper ST MAXX? They look sweet but only came in load E for a 16 inch wheel. I went with the Cooper ST's and I love them... I paid 760ish total for 4- 265/75/16 load C. I really like them, thought about the STT's, but didn't like em as much.

I just placed an order with Mark at Detours Offroad. I spoke with him a few times on the phone and he is a very friendly fellow jeeper. He promptly returned my calls and I could have BS'ed with him for hours. He has lots of new and innovative products on the company's Facebook page. Definetly check them out if you are in the market for American made top quality products. They have some new a pillar light brackets for the xj/mj that I am wanting too. I just wanted to put this up here in case anyone hasn't heard of them before. Give him a call. They also do custom fab work. Mark is a great guy and I will continue to order from him. I even saw Don's MJ in his customers photos.

I'm an equipment operator all summer long. I put over 1000 hours a season on my loader. Then I snowboard all winter while laid off. Then I tore my acl and had surgery on Tuesday. Now I lay on the couch and go to physical therapy. I can't wait till next winter.

Speed and beauty are not related.. It can be fast and ugly at the same time.. I guess beauty is all in the eye.....

The blue one reminds me of a Compass and makes me want to puke all over the place. I like the J truck photo shop. It is nowhere near as offensive to the eyes.

No, this one was a debate about shooting a dog for damaging a seat in a grand Cherokee.

What happened to the shoot a dog thread? Did somebody think they know best and delete it? Why?

The same thing happened to me when I tried to order a csf three row from there for my Cherokee.. This was a couple years ago.. I ended up getting mine from radiator barn.. It made it in three days and I got it on a Saturday from fed ex..

I hate apple, but I really hate i-tunes and that is why I avoid their products... I like my Android HTC aria.. It does everything I need it to. It is not as big as an iPhone and most iPhone user friends I have like my phone better... I really dislike the stupid apple stickers people put on their vehicles too.. I better never see one of those on a mj.. :no: :ack:

That is very cool.. I'm wishing I had one of those for my fridge.. I order from rock auto and always get camaro or firebird magnets..

I have to say I agree with Backdraft and xjrev10. Hanson obviously has better things to do then make his bumper. If they truly gave a damn he would have had the bumper in the time frame they gave him when the order was placed. Sounds like the only thing they tried to fabricate were excuses and lies. Oh yeah one more thing.. Just because jeep asks a company to fab. stuff for them doesn't mean they are worth a damn. Does the name Rubicon Express sound familiar? We all know happened to them.. :brows: :rotf:
