A gentleman of the most high caliber was advertising these bad boys on our site 295/75/16 (33.4/11.5/16) Nitto Terra Grapplers. Well I couldn't resist!

They are now mounted on my Liberty. I still need to beat the rear of the front fender well in just a little, and I have removed the inner wheel well liner. When I get done I will post picks. I have been up extremely late mounting these things, and I can't see the key board to post the group buy, nor post any pictures.

So with my 3.5+ lift now they fit, but I wouldn't use them off road, these will be my pose-er or mall rated tires. Once I get the 5" installed (all most done, I have made the motor mounts) I will be able to or try to run them off road.

This will be a true test of the front Diff collars!

My little KJ now reminds me of my very first love...my 76 Wagoneer, 4 inch lift, 34" tires and cut up fender wells, and a shoe- horned in a Olds 455, of some 20+ years ago.

Pictures will follow..most likely Sunday!

Al

PS I will be living in the garage (dog house) :shock: for the next couple of weeks, especially after the phone call at work......."What in h..l and why did buy new tires???" :roll:

Ok here is the view with the larger tires. I had to remove the front bumber and move it forward around an inch, and little cutting and no rubbing driving around town!

Wow, what a jeep! If any flex on the rear occurs, its all over for that fender.

They look great!


I think he mentioned that he won't be using them offroad, so flex is not really a problem.

Looks great Al! Can't wait to see it with your new 5" lift and some update on how she preforms on the trail. Keep them pictures coming.
