Northern Virginia Roll Call

I agree completely. I’d want someone who deals with off-road stuff and has opened these shocks before

 

Also been trying to decide - slightly worn 33s that are free -install price or go to 34s that are significantly more expensive than free... Wife’s Jeep got a shout-out by Warn, think they’ll send me a free winch if I ask nicely? Haha

 

try it.. or they will give you a sticker

 

Yes stock length.

 

33s

 

The wife appreciates your choice haha.

Also FYI, OPM announced federal govt closed tomorrow if that applies to anyone on here.

 

What’s the metric size of the 34s?

 

285/75r17 is what I was considering

 

Depending on the tire it can be a little bit of a pita to fit. I think ko2 comes in that size but they run small so it’ll be a bit easier. 295/70/17 is another good size that a few of us run/ran. @2016Taco4Me had that size.

 

I could be wrong, but I think peppermint oil is good for keeping mice and rats away.

That.. and give him a name too.

 

Check the kidneys right. Haha.. smack me already.

 

Uuhhhhuuuuuhh!
The "new" 285/70r17...I know selection in that size is somewhat limited, but will be on my list when I come due (~11/32nd tread left on my 285/70r17 Ultraterrains).

 

The KO2 also comes in a 34/10.50/17 . I had been looking at that exact size a few years ago when they came out, but heard different stories of actual size varying between a mid 32", to a small 33". The down side is, They cost more than a 285/75/17.

 

Yeah that’s what I meant by ko2s running pretty damn small, like a whole inch smaller at times. It may be a bfg thing in general and not just the ko2 but I don’t know about that.

 

Rite rite. I'd say a BFG thing myself. I know dang near all tires out there are not true to size. but that 34 was a tire people wanted in a bad way. Then peeps got pissed at how small it actually measured. The only true 34/10.5/17 that I know of is a Swamper LTB. but who the hell want's to run that tire on a DD?

 

Hadn’t even seen that size before! looks like it would be slightly thicker than the 285/75 which could be a pro or con.

Some guy had 4 ko2s listed on FB marketplace for 800$... it was so temping but I’ve spent enough the past 2 weeks haha.

 

This makes me wanna go measure the wife’s 35s ... I’ll do it tomorrow and see how far off it is.

 

You looking for the shock rebuild? Maybe Chaos in Winchester.

 

Well, THAT was a fun drive this morning. Good thing we're "closed."

 

Anyone in here know what size the skid plate bolts are? I know theres like 3 different sizes.
