So far I love the guard dogs but the crawlers were way too aggressive for me!

Holy crap that sucks!!! After wheeling I found that the rear needs a 2in trim of the wheel well and the front bumper rubs where the fog light is so I'm going to remove the fog lights and do some trimming and just add some lights to the bumper in front of the grill.

Depending on how well these retreads do I'm gonna stick with them!!! They grip like crazy on loose dirt, grass, and deep mud!!!!

just did a snow run with mine last night, passed a stuck grand cherokee while in 2wd and pulled a f-150 with brand 37" susper swampers up a hill he couldnt get up on the trail, i do have a front locker, my only complaint is they do seem to pack up alittle while breaking, but under power they work awesome in the snow
