Yessss! Love Jeeps! I'm on my 4th one, a 2006 Commander 5.7L Hemi, full stock. About to embark on the initial stages of her overlanding build.
It's a Jeep thing!

I think they would be perfect for it. I match Jeep wheels ant tires to my Jeep. I also put up take off jku tires and rims for next to nothing. LolThey all have their own wheels and tires. I like the TJ Rubicon wheels. They're generally available, reasonably priced, easy to restore and … they're "Jeep" . I decided to "stock up" and currently have 29 of them. I have them on my expedition trailer (pic & build thread below) and plan to modify my utility trailer so I can put them on it too. My LJ has 265/75/16 Duratracs on it and the rest have 245/75/16 Duratracs.
I'm also building a small fibreglass trailer. I think Rubicon/Duratracs would a bit much for it … but I'm thinking of it! lol
Just starting to get into this whole overlanding thing. 2000 TJ, 35 km2's, 3.5 in short arm metalcloak lift, front metalcloak stinger, 8.8 swap with 5.13's and a rear spool, SYE, and Rusty's offset steering (which isn't the best steering in my opinion)

Very nice! So you built the trailer? That looks fantastic!

Thanks! Yes my son Ryan Grace and I like to build/fabricate so we actually built 2 of these trailers at the same time. Mine is tan monstaliner and his is red. We have hauled them all over the southwest and so far they are great. I will post some pics in the trailer section soon. The interiors are really nice.

On my 3rd Jeep, all JK's, so far. Last one was a 4 dr. turned
That's awesome! Would love to see them. I'll check out the Trailer section. Thanks!
Please do! I’m building an off-road teardrop this winter. I need more ideas!
Hello all. Been a huge fan of Jeeps since I can remember. I have had a XJ, WJ, JK, frame off resto CJ5, and currently have a JKU. TJ’s have been in the family but I have never personally owned a TJ.

Yes it's kinda awesome or so...
Lots of torque and even better with the automatic transmission... They were sold this way in europe but the gas mileage isn't so much better but still really ok.
