    That's what I like to hear. I want to put one in and not ever have to worry about it. Hopefully I'll have mine by the end of the year

    So far I'm two years of wheeling and two seasons of tractor pulls with no issues. Keep in mind the tractor pulling sleds weigh 15 tons

    I really liked them on my 4Runner in 33" flavor and liked them on the Taco in 35". Solid road manners, beefy sidewalls compared to a km2, great grip on the rocks, and the price is very right

    The other one. I like to share in this thread since there really isn't another spot to.

    Thinking of getting them or the MTRs. Really curious about snow and ice, but also mud. Do they hook up and do they wear well?

    Well mine have never seen snow nor ice, so I can't comment on that. They do well in mud and grip nicely. I've had a few sidewall nicks, but haven't lost a tire because of them. You can check with @colinb17 on the snow and ice subject.

    I see on your build thread you have an atlas 4 speed which is what I'm getting. Which shifter setup did you go with? And do you have any interior pics of the shifters?

    I went the humble route with the regular 2spd atlas lol.

    Simplicity of shifting - since I have a 5spd manual - was a primary reason....plus there was about a $1,000 price difference between the 2spd and 4spd and I still needed wheels and tires lol

    My friend has a 4sp in his grandcherokee and he used the cable shifters. It took him a week to set them up and just about ripped all his hair out. Hes also an anal bastard that wanted it to look factory. I would have cut a hole the size of my head in the floor and seal it up cardboard and rtv and left it like that for a few years lol.
