Soooo after a year and a half of dealing with the CRAPPY mud that houston has to offer I was able to get the ole XJ up to dallas for some NORTEX wheeling.
and without further adieu and to ANSWER somebody on another thread asked about REAL life experiences on tires OVER 33''
Heres MY rig doing it on 36" tires on a dana 35 rear and dana 30 front axle...
without a SINGLE problem.
Texj in his "captain morgan" stance
Tired ole XJ crying about hitting the highway
Mr & Mrs. Texj
Obstacle number 1 the tree on the passenger side was grabbing my roof rack mounts... the ones Im eventually using to mount roof sliders on but have not got a "roundtuit" yet
After several failed attempts Bionic texj decided to help push the jeep over while I crossed the tree
For some reason I just couldnt keep from sliding over into the ruts...
Allllll up on the tree
Texj coming round the bend
Few old friends we met up with trying a 5 diamond ... they trailered there jeeps in
got to test out my drain plugs
met up with Panama Red
his rig was JUST finished the week prior to this run I LOVE IT!!!

I made it with no winch YAH
