That is a great looking KJ and an even better looking signature! Very Nice!

Nice rig. By the way, what are the specs on the tires and lift? You seem to have just the right amount without giving it the "monter truck" look.

Landy · **Posted:** Fri Nov 09, 2007 5:26 pm

The tires are Cepek M/T's 245 75's (1-1/2" taller than stock) on 8" Cragars. The lift is a Rocky Road Rock Father 1. It came with OME front coils and the rear uses spacers...I wanted to be able to control the rear for when I tow my 16' aluminum fishing boat and gear so I put Airlift air bags inside the coils. Rocky Road didn't think the coils would work with new rear coils so I had to stay with the stock rear coils and the spacer.

It was supposed to be a 2-1/2" lift but it came out to be 3-1/4". I measured before and after. Seems to work just fine. I do believe it affected that ESP or anti-roll mitigation big brother sensor crap though.

How do the tires work for you on/off road?

The Cepek M/T's are noisey. Libb's don't seem to quiet down much road noise anyway. The M/T tires are not quiet. I have not had a car in years. I'm used to driving a '472a or a Wrangler and they both have M/T tires so I don't mind it.

The Cepek's are 10 ply so they're stiff until you get them warmed up, then they seem fine ON road. OFF road they take me anywhere I've pointed Libby the Squirt thus far;

Some decent mud, nasty volcanic type rocks, crappy rutted roads, enough I've made my shocks come loose twice now.

OFF road I love them. Cepek's do look cool but they are spendy.

Thanks! That is a pretty good appraisal.

i have the silent armors and they are quiet, except when i am turning lock to lock then they slide/grind the pavement. only thing i dont like is when i am on the trail with people with the MTRs i feel my tires are inadequate

that a Mopar basket? Like the shovel mount, definitely fit a canoe or kayak paddle in those.

Yip. That is a Mopar OME basket.

I haven't had any problems with my tires. I have gone through some mud/water that was pretty deep, no trouble. They seem to grip well on dirt and rocks. Of course they are not M/T tires but this is my DD so they will do. They are pretty quiet on pavement.
