Do you think a homebrew OTK is doable for $150 give or take a few dollars?

Although I may skip the OTK steering for now and get a winch after this today.

Moving the track bar will add a good little chunk to that.

I need help deciding on some 33x12.5x15 tires.


Ill be driving the jeep on the street a few days a week for fun, but it wont be a usual DD. Wheeling will usually be rocks and a little bit of mud, but I'll be traveling 3 hours on the highway to get there.

I do know what types of tires I want though: Baja Claws(always wanted a set, but idk about how theyll wear on the street), KM2's(good on street, not so good in mud), Mickey Thompson MTZs(only know one person with them and they love them for DDing), or General Grabbers(how are they on rocks?).

Thanks for the input.

I like my truxxus mts. They do pretty well in rock and dusty trails, and they are mud terrains so I imagine they're good at that, I haven't encountered any so I couldn't tell you. They do pretty well on the road as our weekend warrior, they aren't too loud and seem to wear pretty well.

I think km2s are your best bet.
