they dont make the Eldorado Mud Claws for a 35-12.50-15.

The MTR and KM2 are really the big 2 in mind. but a friend of mine is not impressed with the MTR which is pushing me towards the KM2. I've also read that the km2 wears better and longer, but that's the internet lol

I want to say Jason (FloydXJ) has been running the KM-2's for awhile (in a 35), might want to ask him for his opinion on them. He's not new to the sport and would probably give you a pretty honest opinion on them. Those were what I was thinking for my next purchase but haven't had time to look into them as far as the good and bad.

Gorillaxj

yeah, I asked him about them when we where down there. He said that he liked them a lot.

Desert Rat

He's got years of experience regarding low and slow wheeling so if thats what your going for, might not be a bad recomendation. Just an opinion, but I tend to listen to you guys who know way more than I ever will, Lol!

Gorillaxj

true true, I am pretty much set on them, jsut making sure i know everything i can before dropping the money lol

Desert Rat

Oh yeah, Tristin, I meant to mention this the other day, you have pictures of your Jeep in Moab doing all kinds of crazy $hit, why is your avitar still that bland pic of it parked. Your Jeep rocked in Moab, show that sucker off! You've earned the right to show it off for sure!

Gorillaxj

Ha, didn't even notice...

How is the locker problem coming along? have you taken a look? kinda odd its still giving you issues....

started narrowing mine tonight.



now there are 2 big holes just in front of the coil buckets

No, I still need to crack open the diff, its wierd, its still functioning normal in the forward gears, locking up under straight ahead torque and releasing in turns with a little more thump, thump, thump around the corners. But occasionally when I put the XJ in reverse it lashes in and will give me a some clicking and a thunk and chirps the tires and clicks alot while backing up, especially if I'm backing and turning. I'm gonna have to crack it open and have a look at it. No doubt somethings not right, just need to find the time to dig into it. Hoping to get into it over the T-giving weekend, I'm nervous about doing it because the last time i tried to do it I was unable to get the clip out of the pass. side and its my daily ride so it cant just sit til I figure it out. Hopefully it goes better this time around.

Gorillaxj

Looking good. interested to see this approach angle and narrowed body when your done!

Gorillaxj

interesting. that is odd behavior. good luck! if you need some help let me know. that weekend wont work for me though lol

So i checked my steering today (had tons of play) and found a few thigns but one that kinda worry's me... lol The nut on my gear box that holds my pitman arm on had backed off about 1 1/4 turn. causing the pitman to have play up and down... worn out box? any ideas? would hydraulic assist help take the load off the box and limit the chances? what are options for this?

Was planning to rebuild a Durango box and add hydraulic assist in the spring, but want this fixed lol

jmaxj

thanks me too!

Gorillaxj

Are you moving the front axle further forward? looks like your doing a good amount of plating to that "frame" lol

jmaxj

later i will be, i moved the steering box forward so i can move it more.. just no time to redo the arms.
