Re: RIM SIZE FOR 2006 WRANGLER X
I have a 2006 TJ with ABS and D44. And I have a brochure from Jeep stating
that with ABS a D44 is required, the brochure was printer in 10/2005. Here is a scan of the page: http://alma-tech.com/tmp/06tj-specs.jpg However, I nearly killed myself one day, while failing to climbing a steep slippery hill. I could climb 90% up, and then I could not complete the climb. When I stuck, I hit the brakes to put reverse, but some glitch in the ABS program had almost disabled the brakes, and the jeep went down the slope in neutral and no brakes. Almost a free fall and very scaring experience. I was lucky I didn't skid to the side, and there was a big flat area at the bottom of the hill and didn't crush anywhere. From that day I disable ABS everytime I go offroad by removing fuse 7 from the fusebox behind the glove box. Bill Spiliotopoulos, '96 XJ, '06 TJ. ?

Re: RIM SIZE FOR 2006 WRANGLER X
So I take it you do not have the Trak Lok rear differential? In 2000, you
could order the 30" Tire/Wheel Group, which came with aluminum wheels and 30x9.5 Goodyear GSA's (Get Stuck Anywhere),and 3.73 final drive. It also included the Dana 44, but if it was equipped with ABS the 35 was subsituted because the 44 at that time was not available with ABS.

I only bought 4 tires to start out with. I do need to get a spare. I did find a spare tire mounter on E- Bay that replaces the original mount and moves the bigger tire up and out 2 inches to accommodate for the tire's size. Shipping and all, I think it was about $65. I am wondering though.....I have heard that the bigger tires weight tends to somehow "bend" the tailgate, so I am thinking about getting a spare tire mount that is fixed to the rear bumper. However, they cost upwards of $150-$200. I am not sure if a 31 inch tire compared to my current stock 28 inch tire will make that much difference as far as the added weight and stress on the tailgate and its hinges. I know a 33 or 35 inch tire probably would make a difference though. As for the Dana axles, I have 30 in the front and 35 in the rear. I do not have the ABS, and my gearing is the 3.07. |

This is important when considering a spare and you are correct about the spare on the back not really liking off road bouncing much... To check for a limited slip, you need to jack up both rear wheels and rotate one by hand. If the other side spins the same way, you have the limited slip, if it spins opposite, you have open differentials. If you have a limited slip, you must use two tires the same size, so if your spare is smaller and you get a rear flat, you must move a front tire to the back and use the smaller spare up front. If you have open diffs, you can use the smaller spare anywhere but be aware of the clearance lost while using it. Believe me having to put on a small 'silly' spare like comes with the Cherokee is 'really' no fun when you are in the middle of an off road run.... http://www.imagestation.com/3118614/4255991318 My wife got a full sized spare to take on trips after that...

This is important when considering a spare and you are correct about the spare on the back not really liking off road bouncing much... To check for a limited slip, you need to jack up both rear wheels and rotate one by hand. If the other side spins the same way, you have the limited slip, if it spins opposite, you have open differentials. If you have a limited slip, you must use two tires the same size, so if your spare is smaller and you get a rear flat, you must move a front tire to the back and use the smaller spare up front. If you have open diffs, you can use the smaller spare anywhere but be aware of the clearance lost while using it. Believe me having to put on a small 'silly' spare like comes with the Cherokee is 'really' no fun when you are in the middle of an off road run.... http://www.imagestation.com/3118614/4255991318 My wife got a full sized spare to take on trips after that...

They fit on the factory mount just fine. They will not damage your tailgate unless you're jumping it, in which case your factory spare would tear it up too.
