do a search and read my threads. Yes they will fit, you will need to trim the bumper (but who looks at that part of he bumper anyways). You will need to pound the pinchweld. You may just remove the fender liner and use a spray-on undercoating (or cut the heck out of the liner, you just never know till you get it on).

Here's a Renny with Dayton Timberline MT's in 235/85

Nice aggressive looking Meats, they look very trail friendly. How are they as DD's and highway sound and rain and or snow performance?? I had Dunlop A/T's installed 2 weeks before I discovered LOST. The KJ came with GoodYear Fortera a Street/Highway All Season tire I wasn't overly impressed with them and I am rather pleased with the Dunlop's but haven't had enough off road experince yet to make a true report. Beautiful KJ by the way. 8) 8)

Well, when I traded the Renny for the Unlimited, I went out and got another set of the same tires. That's what I think of them. I've been running them since Thanksgiving as my DD. They are great in rain, snow and ice. They make noise on the road, but they are an agressive MT. The noise wasn't as bad in the KJ. It's still OK in the Wrangler, but I need to turn up the radio a little more :wink: I run at 40psi to keep milage decent, but again, they are MT's. On the trail I run between 8-14psi (10 ply sidewall - E rated; less flex, but tougher to slice). My next set will be bigger, but they will still be Timberline MT's.
