I really like the Jeep, and the 8.1L is pimp.[/QUOTE]

Flxratd (Scott A.) sunday summed up the process in which you have to take before you throttle it up best.

He said "you better have a plan before you let the rpms build".

That statement is so true. It is probably 200 hp more than needed but can make up for what the jeep is currently lacking in the rear leaf spring setup.

Just swap your pitbulls on the black jeep and the iroks onto this one....

easy enough and saves you money, also puts less strain on the 4.0 and tranny in the black yj.

the pitbull setup is heavier by 8lbs. Black crawler sold last night. I would have loved to have been able to try the combo out though!

Yep I do, lookin for 40s for my 1ton TJ build this winter. Let's see I've got $3.64 right now! Seriously, might be able to work out a deal. Rockers for 15" rim?

They are nice from what limited use I have had with them. The size is too wide for me and they are heavy. The tires sidewall is thicker than comprable tires. Very quiet on the road and do not flat spot as bad as a bias ply swamper. Drive them on the road at 5psi and 35 psi with no problems. Gonna try them out some more and see.
