    Look up Tatra trucks, they are awesome. If the engine is behind or over the front end, it still keeps the center of gravity low even though the driver sits high and forward. Those Tatra trucks go anywhere, I'd hope the Jeep is set up similarly.

    actually pretty well balanced!

    insane visibility. 360 degree view!

    The engine in this is behind the driver and passenger, and the transmission sticks out back behind the cab. It's a cast iron block too, so decently heavy. Plus 9' of bed and a fuel tank all the way in the rear balances it out pretty nice!

    They're a brand-new tire; nobody's really going to have any experience yet. Kumho just came out with them a couple of months ago, so all you're going to be able to find are first impressions without any reviews for how they handle winter weather.

    Personally, they look like a pretty decent tire, but I'm not impressed with the tread depth. P-rated tires only have 13/32nds. If you get an LT tire you get 15/32nds, but it still looks shallow.

    Morning guys.

    Rachel's aunt lost her battle with lung cancer this morning. My Dad has also been going through a bunch of shit lately and is hospitalized right now. He has tons of issues with his heart, breathing and lung cancer and is in A-Fib right now. To all you guys or gals out there if you smoke all I can say is please stop. Stop now. It does terrible things to you!
