What did you do to your Cherokee today?

No, I don't lick fish.
I don't have axles to support 40s. Tire weight is actually one of the factors I'm considering as I shop around, and I think I'm gonna drop the extra coin on alloy wheels for the same reason. I can switch to Street Rod tags in 2018, and then I can do whatever I want. The plan is to stretch with D60/14b and 40s or 42s
I never can find that tire carrier. Keep hoping to get lucky one day at the JY, but hasn't happened yet.

Have had my mt2s for over a year now. Been nothing but hard on them. They handle rocks very well, drive great on the street, are quiet and seem to be an all around great tire. I smashed them through the Rubicon and came out with almost 0 rock rash. I do have one complaint though. They don't clean out mud very well.

You'll be amazed of the difference in ride. The steel wheels don't absorb bumps and whatnot in the road like alloys do. I went from alloys to steel and back to alloys again a couple of times... ride is definitely rougher with the steel. Not that you're trying to get it to ride like a cadi, but still... it's a nice bonus.

I'm wanting to do this with mine, but with bedliner on the tread surfaces. My wife's care likes to spin the tires going up the ramp if there's the slightest bit of moisture or sand on the tires.
That's a helluva rake you got goin' on there.

Power steering pump locked up, threw a belt on the highways, slightly overheated getting to a safe spot, and completely broke the power steering pulley in half. Yay! More maintenance.
