    So after talking with several people I decided to stay with 33"s until the Jeep is no longer my daily driver.

    That said it is time to buy some new tires.

    I have ran Cooper STT's for the past two years and they are near 50k now. They have worn unevenly, but have performed well in every environment I've been to. (although the only "off-road tire I have to compare is the BFG AT's)

    That said I am considering switching to the BFG KM2s or the Goodyear MT/Rs.
    They are all close enough in price for that to not be an issue.

    Thoughts, experiences, and opinions are greatly appreciated.

    The KM2's are nice, pops has em and likes em, smooth ride, not loud. I have the MT/R's with Kevlar on the Power Wagon and they are nice also. Don't think you can go bad either way.

    pros and cons of a LT1?

    a guy wants to trade me a 1995 LT1 to what he claims came out of a police caprice. 70k miles. complete engine with comp and wiring harness. what is worth? worth holding onto? im leary of a police engine that has 70k because i know the hours are 10 fold that.

    Seriously though, the LT1 in Caprice's and cop cars have iron heads. The ones in the camaros are aluminum, so the camaro ones are slightly more desirable. LT1's make good power and are a good engine. In recent years the 5.3's have become more popular.

    Price, I would say for a complete (harness, intake, etc..) "iron head" LT1 market price would be about $800. $500 would start to be the line for a "good deal".

    For reference I picked up my "aluminum head" complete with tranny for $600 5 years ago. It has been sitting next to my chevelle making "vroom" noises ever since...

    swap the coils around first, if it follows it to the cyl that you swapped it to, then its the coil

    Yeah 33s are good for a DD anything bigger and you put a lot more stress on other parts and you won't be as reliable, I would go with some km2s

    I've been running the same 31" set for almost three years now and I love them. Great off-road, handle themselves well on the street, and are wearing like iron, and were pretty cheap, to boot. I highly recommend them. 33" is the biggest they go.

    If you want cheap I would try out those re tread mtr looking tires. They have gotten great reviews on all the boards and I have seen them wheel and they hook up well.

    Edit: ithink the name of the company is tread wright.

    I am a big fan of KM/2s. I get 50k-60k out of them on my truck. Quiet enough for a mud tire, and do great in every terrain I have put them in .

    I don't have any long term experience with the mtr's but I think they are to soft to get 50-60k out of like the bfg. Km/2's all the way.
    He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
