Hey Big Jeep,

I noticed in one of your post that you live in Bailey, Just a hop skip and jump from my hometown Evergreen.. Back in ther late 70's and early 80's I spent many a night in Pine Junction enjoy a keg or two... if we wanted to get wild we would race down the hill on 285, that is probaly why they came up with the pray for me i drive 285 bumper stickers..

Have you ever made the red cone pass trip down into montezuma,
(285 over the hill into Keystone) if your jeep has 44's on it it might be kind of hard to do. it is one hell of a trail and is sure to grow hair on your balls when you desend off the top. I lived in Evergreen from 69 until 83 and I still have family out there, I just miss the early feeling of winter in the air and the 4 wheeling.
Every time I go back it just amazes me as to how much growth has occured, before you know it Bailey is going to be a suberb of Denver...
Anyway just wanted to say hi to a fellow Coloradoite so close to my childhood home..
Have a great Christmas,

Timberwolf

Did Redcone pass when the Jeep was on 33 SSR's and did holy cross on 35 inch SSR's....The 44's were put on just after I finished the long arm suspenion ,And built HP60/14 bolt plus some other stuff ...But sold it before I ever got to do much with it on that set up it was sold to cover the cost of getting my CDL pay off my daily driver ,and put a few dollars in the bank for the SHORT money I'd be making with companies like Werner ...I've got a WJ GrandCherokee ,And I plan to give it the 1 T-ton axle treatment with a long arm suspenion ,and either a set of 38X 14.50 SX or 39 Iroks this size tire should allow me to keep some of the fenders unlike the 44's and a mild exo cage to keep the body somewhat straight .

I finally got a Jeep, after 30 years of wanting another one.
Last Thanksgiving I got this '99 Sahara. It has Rubicon suspension, and a 2" lift.
It came with a set of Goodyear Wrangler 33's, besides these stock Moab's.



My first Jeep I bought when I was 15. It was a '46 Willy's.
I completely restored it in 1972.
Stupid me, I sold it when I got married in '78.



My dream now is to plan a vacation in Moab, Utah.

Chrysler must have worked out a deal with GoodYear to rebadge some of their 31 MT/R's for them , Because those tires look just like GoodYear wrangler MT/R's , Which are real good tires to run on the kind of terrain like we have here In Colorado or in Moab . I can't tell from the picture ,But if your going to go off road on the rocks in moab get some rocker guards ,because you may not ever smack the rockers ,but if you do ,and don't have protection ...OUCH , So they can really save the body of the jeep .

Yes, they are MT/R's.
In the photo are 245x75-16 which are better up here on the snow. The off-road set are also Goodyear MT/R 33's.
It also came with a Bikini top. You can see it has the mirrors mounted forward, so I can take the doors off and still use mirrors. No winch, yet.

We don't have the tough trails like you have out there. Last time I went off road out west was with my '78 Dodge Powerwagon SBed, back in the '80's.
That was an awesome monster set up...with a 360 V8. I did a lot of Hunting up in Shasta and Trinity. Took my horse up into Squaw Valley a lot too.

This Sahara isn't going to get put on the real tough class trails, like you do. hehehe
I'll need some coaxing to go through most of what I end up facing. ops:
I'll park and get out and say.. "wow..nice view...well lets go back to town now." :lol:
