Then we came to a spot where the trail " Y's" Left was gated we took the right... The KJ on 32's with Jenny driving walks right past it...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Then it was time for the JK on 35's to go...

Image

And BOOM CRACK!

Image

Image

Bent axle tube and sheared the front LCA on the right hand rock... Life Sucks, KJ's rule!

I stopped taking pictures about then... Limped back to the trail head and a good friend welded it back on after pounding the snot out of it. In the rain... scooted back home at no more than 40 MPH with the JK's tail between it's legs and the KJ strutting it's stuff.

I don't want to deflate the "Real Jeep" ego there. I did post that I was canx'ing coming to the M&G because of the axle. And then posted in the 'wanted' section.

It looks like a good sized tire/wheel combo for the KJ. I'm looking at a 31/10.50R15 for my next tire, it wont be as tall as what you have, but it should be fairly close when mounted on a 7" rim.

Ok ok sorry sorry.. I am sure he is gettin enough of that from "the better half". He did admit that the KJ rules, I give him props fer that one. And he sure knows how to put together a sweet silver KJ...
I am jealous that I couldnt run that trail too. Looks perfectly matched for the Liberty.
