That's an understatement. Just don't feed the trolls and if they get
too annoying use a filter, they really help!

Welcome to the group! There are some great people here and you can get
excellent advice and info on your Jeep from this bunch, enjoy and just
try to ignore the noise.

Great suggestion on the BFG MT's or AT's. I'm running the MT's on my
'84 CJ and the AT's on my wife's '94 Land Rover Defender 90. Both are
great tires (I don't work for BFG, honest). Zelix, you mentioned you're
thinking of a lift. If you want more info on sizing, go to:

http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...rts/index.html

It shows sizing for all Jeep models and lifts from stock height to like
six inches. There are also some other tires that they reviewed too.

Don't listen to those other guys about emptying your pockets on this
rig. As far as I know, I've only spent about $5500 on my Jeep...that's
when I quit counting...

Welcome!

Pete
