Important

Anyone remember how much fun it was wheeling on a 3-4.5" lift and 32's or 33's? Just looking through some old computer pics of back in teh day, that was a lot more fun to wheel then the built gold rig that was not near as difficult. Dont get me wrong, even at that build level I was often stuck or chose crappy lines that I could not make :D I found a 97 that has a mild lift but they guy said the rear is going to need looked at and maybe the tranny in the future...

Cheese "if the price is right???" Man

Well yea, im still at that level so i still find it fun. i will be throwing a BB on top of my 3" kit soon, and have been debating jumping up to 35's but i am still not sure. My primary wheeling spot is the badlands, i have seen enough people drag their rigs around most of that park with 33-35's so i dont really see the need to go much bigger. plus being able to drive it around town is nice.

This is why I am now on 35's, makes it challenging enough to keep it fun but still doable.

I love where mine is! Seeing so many guys go big then downsize again also helps my decision to keep my rig where it's at.
 
Mine at 5.5-6" and 33s allows me to have a lot of fun where others would simply crawl over it if they had 35s+ or not attempt it with less than 5in of lift... I don't plan on changing my combo anytime soon...
 
I've heard a lot of people say 35s are the hot ticket, great compromise between wheeling more challenging obstacles and keeping your drivetrain alive (unless you're Jason). I would not mind getting my hands on a set of 35" Goodyears since I follow the crowd and everyone says BFGs suck now :D
 
I like my 33's, it makes the jeep very streetable and capable off road. I hate having so much money wrapped up into a "toy" that only gets used a few times a year. I like driving mine to the grocery store or what ever.

Krawlers or GTFO :laugh3:
 
This is my thoughts exactly Dan, I got to the point I was license and insuring a rig that had no streetable manners and it was to the point of not even fun to own based upon my 2 trips a year schedule. I found this 97 w/ a 3" lift (cRustys, JCR sliders, expo roof rack, 17" Mambas and BFG KM2's on it. Looks clean and sharp, guy is wanting to unload it. I think $2500 can get it home. If tranny is bad, big deal, an afternoon and a case of beer and that is solved, if the rear is bad, a few hours and $100 fixed.
