"stock" 3rd gen on the rubicon

You might consider a 34x10.5r17 while you're at it. The 10.5 width is a bit more than 255/85, protecting the wheels more aired down. I'm rocking ko2s in that size and discount tire indicated they have a few more options. Tire height is 33.5 foe the ko2s

 

sweet! Good to know. I have a spacer lift in the front and the icon AAL in the rear so I’d probably be fine then.

Thanks for the info! I have -10 offset wheels so that would probably help me out some.

 

Thanks! I like the set up. Though I’m sure I woulda been just fine on 33s

 

That’s good info. I liked my old K02s. Might be a good choice after my Toyos

 

$460 per tire... Hmmmm

 

It's in one piece still. Haven't hit it yet. The only part that got hit was the cross menber right by the exhuast a couple times.

 

This day was Tahoe side. Tried the other side and didn't make it very far. There was a large rock I couldn't get around and no winch so wasn't pushing my luck.

 

What's done to your truck? My goal is to make it to the observation point.

 

you are a brave and skilled taco pilot, sir.
that crossmember and low hanging exhaust certainly a weak point.
potential damage to transfer case plastic actuator without skid plate has always worried me.

 

When I made the trip just 5100s front, B110s rear and 33s. No locker and no winch. Rci front skid. Cbi sliders. And bumpers. I had to hammer it a few spots but it wasn't overly bad

 

The 34/10.5R17 KO2 runs small. 33.1" on a 17x8" rim.

 

I've been on the Rubicon the last 2 years - only 3d Gen I saw was this year at Rubicon Springs....2020 on 35's with Motor Trend crew (Ian Johnson) and a bunch of JL's / Gladiators.

 

Same. I was going down some pretty rough sections and I would just all the sudden feel a bang. It turns out a rock or two smacked my cross member lol

 

Man thats amazing. I wanna get a similar set up to yours and head out there again but I like my driveshafts not broken

 

And it’s not a true 34”, they run small.

 

Yes.

 

Who makes a true 34"? I'm hoping Mickey Thompson makes a true 34" with their 255/85r17

 

These guys. Looks like an awesome tire.

They do. Such a cool tire size, Mickey Thompson says it is a 35" but it measures to be a 34.1". I'll probably need to do some trimming and a CMC for this one haha

 

It's changed a bit since then. Fox ext travel 2.5s front, 14c relocated fox 2.0s. Hydro bumps, 5.29s and a rear air locker. Also on 35s now. B that part of the trail would be cake if I still lived out that way
