I finally got my 35's on!!! http://www.xws.com/jbjeep/newtires-BROR050605.JPG http://www.xws.com/jbjeep/newtires2-BROR050605.jpg Pitbull Rocker's, 35x14.5. Not my first choice in sizes, but I couldnt/wouldnt wait for them to make a 12.5. -jenn Lookin' good Jennifer.

I got a new Rubicon Unlimited about a month ago. As I have limited motion in my neck it a _real_ pain backing out of my rather long and winding driveway. While I can easily open the window and manually adjust the driver-side mirror this gets rather messy during bad weather. Besides, I need to see the passenger-side, roo. Thanks, mdh Don't think so..... Can't you do it by looking in the rear view centre one ? Dave Milne, Scotland '91 Grand Wagoneer, '99 TJ > Does anyone make power mirrors for the Wrangler?

I tried to order the new-style bolts to attach them to the frame, but the dealer said they aren't available as a separate item. These are shaped sort of like an "M". Is anyone aware of another source for these? The older style expanding nuts are available, but I'd rather have the new-style bolts if possible. Thanks, mdh NICE!! Diggin the tread, Looks great! congrats Robb A fine looking Jeep, wish I had the spare cash to do similar !

What's with these girliemen on this group? There's not one f**kin' thing anyone could do with that license plate number! And what are you so afraid of? Not having the balls to use a bona fide address. We have a whole nation of cowards on this V-E Day!

There's not one f**kin' >thing anyone could do with that license plate number! ---snip----- You are wrong, if someone wanted to find the person to whom that jeep was registered (for whatever reason) they could most certainly do it via their license plate. I've worked in law enforcement long enough to know EXACTLY what sort of twisted things some people can (and will) do with seemingly trivial information. I'd much rather give some friendly advise vs clean up that sort of mess again. I have also worked as an LEO long enough to have been "forged by fire". Find someone else to call cowardly, I'm just laughing. I use a bogus address because otherwise the signal/noise ratio bottoms out and I have far better things to do with my time than cull out rants and spam all day. If you want to reply to me, you (or anyone else) can do it here... in public. (not that it does much to curb all of the bad behavior anymore). Finally, trolling and name calling is pretty sad behavior and I decline to participate. Drifter "I've been here, I've been there..." BULLSH*T! Run this plate and post the VIN here: http://www.billhughes.com/billsbd.jpg God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com > You are wrong, if someone wanted to find the person to whom that jeep > was registered (for whatever reason) they could most certainly do it [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Drifter > "I've been here, I've been there..."

First, that's against policy and I happen to agree with the reasons for that policy. Second you are asking me to post additional personal information when that is the sort of thing I'm trying to (nicely) caution people against. Possibly not the most well reasoned challenge to be sure. Third I have nothing I need to prove to you. and finally, why are you getting your blood pressure up so much over this? Relax, have a beer or something. We have a difference of opinion and viewpoint but really it's just not that important. I gave a piece of advice I felt was reasonable from past experience. You disagree with that advice which is fine. I think the trouble comes when you start in with the personal attacks, miss the mark totally, and still keep trying to come out on top like this is some kind of contest. I'm pretty much done with this off topic stuff. Drifter "I've been here, I've been there..." Then I'll repeat, Jennifer has nothing to fear by picturing her license plate. And whomever you are, you might look at your phone book and see the number of Americans that are not afraid to be listed.

I have yet to meet anyone in law enforcement who doesn't bend the rules or violate policy for their own benefit. You are way too paranoid, about people. Typical Law Enforcement attitude. ("Everyone's out to get you, Everyone's a Criminal"). A license plate is one thing, Name, address, birthdate, SSN, and mothers maiden name is another. Total Random acts of violence are by sick people, and can only be prevented by locking yourself in your closet for the rest of your life. To jbjeep, nice website by the way and nice jeep. Where bouts in washington are you? I'm in Seattle. Robb You are totally right, however, its all over the web already, especially since its my HAM call sign. >>>I finally got my 35's on!!! >>>http://www.xws.com/jbjeep/newtires-BROR050605.JPG [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >>Drifter >>"I've been here, I've been there..."

So far they are FANTASTIC, and they are THE QUIETEST off road tire I have run. Granted I have been running SSR's for the last few years. >>Nice rig! That is one seriously messed up tread pattern tho. I wonder if the >>sporadic treading will actually be better ...please post a follow-up soon [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>> for them to make a 12.5. >>> -jenn Now that I have the tire pressure figured out for the moment, can we say SWEEEEEETTTTTT! Thye are quiet (compared to other off road tires) on the highway They are smooth (compared to other off road tires) on the highway (however I am running balance beads and not lead weights) They do well on rock when aired down They do lousy in the mud at street pressure. LOL. They throw mud EVERYWHERE. They grip walls in a really killer way...I nearly rolled due to a moment of inattention last weekend when it suddenly started climbing the wall on an obstical. Even at speeds faster than I should be going I do not feel like I am going to skid or slide in the loose gravel on the back roads. I am liking them a whole lot! =) >>Nice rig!

I wonder if the >>sporadic treading will actually be better ...please post a follow-up soon [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>> for them to make a 12.5. >>> -jenn So how's the cost and size options vs Goodyear (MTR)? When you compare these tires to "other off road tires" what brands and models are we talking about? Finally how soft/hard is the compound vs Goodyears (MTR)? If nothing else, they sure look mean! n. > Now that I have the tire pressure figured out for the moment, can we say > SWEEEEEETTTTTT! [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >>>> for them to make a 12.5. >>>> -jenn Comparing them mostly to Swampers - SSR's, since that is what I have run for the last several years - Boggers, SX's. Never run an MTR so I have no idea. Cost is plenty... you are looking at over $200 a tire. Nearly the same price as the Irok's. Soft flexie compound on these. Hopefully not as soft at the bogger (its made for mud, not NW rocks). Oh yea, and they clean out beautifully in all but the worst sticky clay. >>So how's the cost and size options vs Goodyear (MTR)?

(G= 'Government' P= '80 inch wheelbase') A small general-purpose motor vehicle with 80-inch wheelbase, 1/4-ton capacity, and four-wheel drive used by the U.S. army in World War II. (Please remove the OBVIOUS to reply by email) ___________________________________________________________ Ah, cool. I found this site on google: http://www.slicktops.com/tops_supersport.php I noticed it said no frame... This is supported by the rollbars then I'm assuming? Could someone out there with one of these tops tell me about how they like it compared to a normal top or Bestop? My bows, I believe they're called, are bent outta whack and my top now looks lopsided. Some of my more rambunctious friends were all over the top, when it was up... morons. Troy Mine (the RockGear) is totally supported by the rollbars. There is the header bar, two footman loops and some snaps and an optional spreader bar. That is it for hardware. I love it. Nothing to get out of whack. And, the windows and upper parts of the doors store in zippered pockets in the top. I wont get caught without them again! (Thats a good thing) Due to the custom cage, Bob at Rockgear had to make me a custom rear curtian. He told me that up front and did it at no extra charge. >>Ah, cool.
