I have a similar theory, mine "acts" better in cooler weather too. I am trying to convince myself that is it not only the tires that are affected by the heat but also the steering stabilizer. It would seem to me that the oil in the shock becomes "thinner" in the heat and reduces its dappening...

No-Slip in the rear, Lock-Rite in the front for two years (2 winters); snow ,ice, rain, etc. in my daily driver- NOT A SINGLE problem. True you do have to use some sense and pay attention, but you have to do that in bad weather anyway!

I know of some good wheelin' in the area, if I can get a free moment on the weekend, I'll show you around if you are interested. No admission fee!

I have a d-30 front, Chry.8.25 rear in a 2000XJ, I have had both locked with a Lock-Rite in front, No-Slip in the rear for about 2 years now. It is my daily driver; all seasons, all conditions, wheel it hard, and have absolutely NO complaints about the set up. I installed both myself; easy to...

How about 16 inchers... Since I still have the 16X7 inch wheels that came on my XJ, what are my tire size options there, if I am not mistaking a 265/75R16 is about a 32-10.5, that may work with 3", any thoughts on that route? Thanks as always, Matt

Wheel spacers in PA "H" if you do decide to go with any type of wheel spacers, just keep in mind that in PA, for some reason you can not pass inspection with spacers thicker than 1/4", I don't know why. Now thats at a by the books place, some of the lick and stick joints may let it go. Just...

Andy did you try the 32's with 3.5" before you went up to 5" of lift?

33's were kind of a dream, I am serious about the 32's though.

It has come time for some new tires, I really don't want to go with another set of 31's. So I am wondering about how much I have to trim to fit 32x11.5's on say a 15x7 or 8 rim. Just out of curiosity how about 33x10.5 on 15x7 or 8" rims? I have 3" of lift and will soon have an ARB bumper...

I found a good deal on an ARB Bull bar, supposedly it is in near new condition with the origional instructions and hardware. It came off of a 96XJ and mine is a 00, I know they are different, will that be a problem and how hard are these things to mount? TIA, Matt

Adjustable lower control arms, 32x9.50R15's with decent tread, 15x7or8 black steel wheels, x-fer case skid, and rock rails preferably close location to keep shipping costs down.

So who will be wheeling on Sunday? The only day I would be able to make is Sunday as well. My wife blew the motor on her car so if I break the Jeep (our only running vehicle) she will kill me, but I have been wanting to get up there for a while now. I went up for the Neuroc event last weekend...

Will anybody be around on sunday? Due to work, the only day I could make it would be sunday. I have been dying to get up to Paragon, I only live 45 minutes away. What time can you run to on saturday? Thanks, Matt

Thanks for all of the suggestions, but I had to put the bumper purchase on hold, wives can be so "understanding"!!!

I am shopping for a new front bumper. I like the looks of the ARB Bull Bar and winch but was wondering if it is worth the money. Since most of my wheeling is done by myself, I also considered getting one with a 2" reciever built in, and going with a milti-mount setup in case I have to move the...
