JL Rockies I'm in OZ so I'm not sitting in the passenger seat!
Yes tyres are Kumho KL71's 245/75/16 and it was the first "real" offroad run with them. They are super chunky and really dig in when they need to. Very impressed with them apart from the fact they are very noisey and they are only a month old but I did buy them for the chunk factor so I can't reallly complain. They just got 4x4 tyre of the year, I highly recommend them for off road use.
The Rubi got stuck up on a bit of a rock ledge, with the KJ being shorter I managed to get over it but the long wheel base and lack of lift ended up making him see saw. It's not a really fair call but still, it's a great pic and it was great to come out on top of the "rivalry thing" for a change (as you may be able to tell from the two thumbs up from the window).
I went out that day with 3 other wranglers, 2 of them kitted out to the max and the KJ kept up with them 90% of the way. They were all actually really impressed with how well the KJ went after thinking it was almost a soft roader.... They now know otherwise!
I'll post the rest of the pics of the day out soon.
