Yes, your Jeep is a JK.

It has a Dana 30 front, and a Dana 44 rear.

well, if nothing else, at least get some good tires. even someone bowling for the first time slip on bowling shoes.

I agree, what kind of tires do you recommend, I have 17 inch rims the stock upgrade package off the lot.

I\'ve had good experiences with my Cooper Discoverer STT tires.
they have great handling in rain or snow, decent longevity, and are made in America.
Plus they look GREAT on the JK  :)

[JerMan75]

FYI Dragon, everything looks great on your Jeep.

WELCOME!

my name is Jake, i help run the 4x4 101 event we have in the spring. i would definatly recomend that you come out, its always a good time and im sure you could learn alot.
in stock form your jeep will do more than you would expect. I would spend the money on some tires before anything else.
alot of us have boughten tires here and had great luck

Dragon started out stock with a similar jeep as yours, he did a little at a time and now his jeep looks great!

[akhoopes]

awesome, i will deffinatly attend if i am in town.

I am wondering what you guys think of the BFG mud terrian KM\'s

I have a chance to get 5 of them for 650.

Any experience with these tires. I have read a lot of reviews and they seem good. 255/75r/17 is the size 32 inch over all.

Thanks again.

I dont know anyone in the club who has run the new Mud Terrain design.
You could google ultimate adventure, i know in recent years past they all ran that tire, and im sure there is a write up out there somewhere!
I like the looks of them.
I personally would run them on a street driven wheeler.

[akhoopes]

Thats what I am looking at, I drive the jeep every day. so that is why i am looking at this tire. Thanks for the input.

rejeep runs the new BFGs on his YJ, I think.

[color=FF0000]I personally love my retreads...[/color]

i love my tsl, super swampers, a little narrow at 9 inches, but they clean well and cut the mud, just not so hot in deep snow
