Thanks! I had the old BFG AT KOs on my first jeep. I think I'm gonna go with the coopers to give em a try. And I can get em cheaper. I'll put some pictures up once I get the tires. It's gonna look so much better with bigger tires lol.

Got my tires put on last night. Took a couple pictures but it was starting to get dark. Dropped it off for an alignment today while I'm at work. I'm take some more pictures of it tonight. Here it is though! I went with cooper st maxx in 31x10.5 r15

Yeah, those tires look good! Let us know how you like them after a few thousand miles, and some different conditions.
They don't have the greatest reviews, but for the most part, everyone seems to be happy with them.

Thanks! Will do. They are suprisingly very quiet to drive on the road. So far they're awesome!

Your gonna love em! FWIW, i had those 265/75/16's 10 plys on my XJ and i ran them at 27PSI front and 25 PSI rear, and they ran great for daily driving. off road, i dropped them down to 15 and 12 psi and they rode like smooth butter. My favorite tire out there!

Here's a couple pictures after lift and tires now I put on an iro hack and tap and a front shaft on last night. (Still had vibes after the drop) drives way better now. Also needed some 4* shims. But here's how it sits now. I'm happy with it. Just gotta design and build some bumpers and some sort of storage system for the back now and I'll be set. Should be taking this camping as is pretty soon though.

Thanks man! I like the stock wheels a lot lol. I'm not a huge fan of the spacers though so I'll probably buy some 15" wheels when I find some I like.

Hahaha, ok. Yeah there was one (forget where exactly) but here in Michigan, had the rockers and doors bedlined, and the vinyl on the hood, so once I realized you were in MI thought maybe you grabbed it. Anyway... just random thoughts I have while scouring CF.

There's some real ******** in this world. Went to Lansing for a union trade show Monday/ Tuesday and overnight while the jeep was in the parlaying garage at the hotel someone decided to blow out the window and rummage through all my stuff. Only took a pair of sunglasses...
