    I mean I romp it, but to a reasonable amount haha. It does some hard offroad, probably a little more then it should see, but whatever. Just gotta know the limits. On a side note my trans cooler seems to be working good. Driving home after wheeling I saw 189 once, mostly never peaked over 185. This is the same trip I took during the middle of the day where I saw 220 at night

    Seems to be. Still don't like the install point. Makes me nervous having my transmission lines sticking out in the front like that

    Yeah, I readore about the tread wrights and idk if they'd be a good idea for me. But your wrangler authorities are more expensive than the general grabber AT2s I think

    Just looked at general, bfg, Goodyear, kuhmo, I want an all terrain tire, 265/75/16.

    Maybe I looked at the wrong Goodyear prjces

    If you see mud ever, don't get BFG ATs. They don't clear at all in mud
