Mike, I agree with you about the 5 years being not necessarily the rule. My Falkens I just took off were 7 years old and looked pretty good still. I decided to replace them at 7 years because they were starting to show their wear. Also my coach sits outdoors 24/7 and the sun where we live is...

Hey Mike, I have also been very happy with my Toyo M144's. I just got back from a 5,300 mile trip with terrible roads and the Toyo's excelled. I have run the Bridgstone R250's and the Falken RI 151's. And these are definitely the happiest for us. I mounted the Falken tires on the rims myself and...

I love the color Mike!!!!! Have fun with the new toy!

Hey Mike, we just got home! It was great to meet you and your son in Ouray!! We will have to get together and wheel one of these days! Quinn

Thanks Mike! That was the info I was hoping for. Snow is a big consideration since we are in it for part of the year in Big Bear Lake, CA.

Hey Mike, how do you like the Mickeys compared to your Nittos on your Jeep? I haven't run either of those tires and I am curious. Trying to decide if I want to change tire brands next time.

Hey Mike, I guess I missed a day on here and you have already fixed the Jeep! I would have done the same. The Dana 60's are nice in any flavor but a ton of money that MOST people don't need. I never added a 60 to our JK because the 44 has done a great job. I did however add chomoly axles just in...

Mike, my D44 JK rear axle has been fine since 2011 behind our Hemi. It is the 380HP version and I have been rough with it at times. My son has even bounced it a time or two! Glad you are feeling better! Most of last year I was dealing with early heart failure after getting sick early last year...

This right here! Jeeps did change my life! Back when I was into the sand with quads and 3-wheelers, my step dad invited me to a "Jeep run" with his Jeep club. I tried to follow along on my quad. After overheating from moving too slow on my 250R Honda quad, and having to struggle trying to rock...

Mike, enjoying the history and projects. I used to be into the sand for a long time as well. We would hit Glamis probably 6-8 times a year late 80's-early 90's until I got into Jeeps. It was all over after that! Still into Jeeps all these years later!

Looks like an awesome start!

Mike, That is probably one of the nicest and cleanest WJ's I have ever seen!

I have been putting off the air bag recall for the same reason. I don't want anyone tearing into my JK.

Funny BBQ story........so we inherited this big stainless awesome BBQ from my step dad. It doesn't cook, we can't keep it going for nothing. I know it was expensive when purchased, expensive! We tried the regulator, we cleaned and tried everything to get it to work right. So I put this thing...

Roundish vehicles are tough to do sometimes. Making bumpers for certain Jeeps that look good is tough to do. 3 tries or 1, either way it is awesome! I have scrapped many revisions trying to make good looking stuff before.
