    Lol thanks.

    I do plan on a 3-4" lift in three future. Currently have leveling kit and will be trimming my fenders.

    Have done the front so far.

    Those razrs look AWESOME! How do you like them off-road? Can you compare them to another tire you've used?

    So I went wheeling with a friend this weekend who last week jumped to 40s on his JK from the 37s Pitbulls he had. His tire of choice was the MaXXis RAZR Radials. I must say I was thoroughly impressed with their performance especially being radials on the Rocks. I still believe that the Treps are a better tire, but the RAZR is a great choice too. Here are his 40x13.50x20 MaXXis RAZRs.

    Nice! I did get to see the razrs in person but would like a more aggressive tread pattern.

    I'm on my way to discount right now still trying to decide between the stt pro and the trep.

    I am just amazed with the the way the coopers flex. Even the 10 ply flex super nice.

    I know you like the treps but I'm not sure if you are referring to the radial or bias ply.

    I'll be buying the radials if I get the treps.

    I'm also going to ask about the pitbull rockers. But these might be out of my budget.

    I have seen both treps radial and bias on the trails do some amazing things. They climb ledges like I have seen no other climb. They act like a paddlewheel on the rock. When one slips the next one grabs.

    Thanks for your help.

    You helped me decide to pull the trigger on the treps.

    I'm surprised I couldn't find any pics anywhere of the 35x12.50r15.

    I can't wait to see how cool they look I'm totally stoked.

    Sir, I would like to thank you.

    I am loving the heck out of these treps and I haven't even wheeled yet.

    I was not aware that it's a racing tire and it feels like stock - or better - when flying down the freeway at >80. I believe they are rated at 100mph.

    Some have complained about the weight but, although they do feel heavier than stock, they don't bog the jeep down at all. And I haven't even setup the flashPaq.

    With the extra 35hp and 30 torque from the flashPaq ill be golden with these treps and 3:73s, for now haha.

    They are super soft and sticky too. I can crawl up a curb with the sidewall like the maxxis buckshot mudders I used to have before going to 33s. I really missed how sticky those were and these are the same.

    The tread is beautiful and the directional pattern looks sooo good.

    Man I can wait to wheel them!

    Thanks OFFGRID.

    Ok... I'm missing something. I have a Superchip. I have not seen anything with the Superchip or.....any after market reprogrammer that can gain Hp and torque. Am I missing some thing?. I'm really lost here. How do you drag 10hp out of a motor that can only produce 285. And why wouldn't the manufacture produce that motor?

    Jeeps today are tuned for emissions, not power. Many computers that tune lets say for 93 octane are setting the timing and fuel mixture for performance, but you sacrifice emissions and if you drive it hard consistently you also sacrifice longevity. My diesels regularly gained 70 HP and 100Ftlbs of torque with injecters and programmer.

    Will post them very soon.

    Ahh it was so frustrating to realize that i couldn't wheel after installing the treps due to the rock sliders.

    It's still frustrating I'm starting to feel like a bird in a bird cage. I can see the outside world but I can't fly :( I just wanna spread my wings and fly dammit!

    Here's a pic on road haha.

    @OFFGRID. That's a misquote. I didn't post that. Hardhat420 did. I was quoting him. No big deal.

    That quote is not from me. I'm not sure who wrote that.

    What I do know is that when I spoke with some tech dude at superchips he said that the flashPaq performance tune adds 35:30 hp:lbs.

    I programmed it finally and I am really liking it. The shift points are in the perfect place. Hits highway speeds quickly. I'm not sure but it might even gets there a tad quicker?? It holds second and third gear so long it basically skips 4 and goes to OD. I love it.

    The fog lights stay on with jeeps crappy high beems so that's a plus too.

    I would highly recommend tuning the tire size using GPS. With 35s, I had to set my tire size to 33.25. You have to compensate for the jeeps weight on the tires.

    I cut the rock sliders and will be wheeling mañana. So far I have flexed pretty good and no rubbing with cut front fenders and teraflex leveling kit.

    Yeah I saw that. I quoted jkbob and for some reason it quoted the quote inside the quote and copied jkbobs quote as my own words. It did it twice so I left it the second time.

    These tires and flashPaq transformed my stock jku.

    Lift goes on mañana.

    Next upgrade exhaust cutout valves I think. At the headers if possible.
