JeepinMaxx, don't you get any rubbing with only 2.5" lift and a 32" tyre?

Still get some rubbing at full lock - even after trimming the front plastic and pounding the pinch weld. Probably going to do the clevis to even out the front with the rear (two isolation spacers there). And remove the plastic front fender liners/relocate the washer bottle...

Nice pictures. I have a question for JeepinMaxx. Does your engine run hotter with the winch mounted in front of the grill like that or have you noticed? thanks.

i've been strongly considering bighorns for my next tires here for a while. i currently have mtr's and they are not all that great in mud. the bighorns have a similar tread pattern. how do they perform in mud?

also, the bighorns have more siping then the mtr's (this is the main reason for me considering them), do you know how well they do on slick, wet roads?

thanks

I know this thread isn't about them, but my Trxus are great on wet roads, lots of siping. The wide off set lug pattern is good for mud as well. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Feel free to toss it back. :wink:

I've had the Bighorns on my KJ for a while. They're great for the money, but I'll probably get something different next time.

do you know what size of bumpstops you have installed on the rear? it's just that I have a set of 265/75 tires on the stock wheels and had some serious rubbing with the rear ones, I'm about to install the bumpstops so maybe I could go the same size you did... thankss!!! btw great pictures!! it looks like a cool track, and your liberty makes it look easy...
