I just put Dick cepek mud countries on my 05 f250. Road noise is very minimal for a full on mud terrain. They are available in some good wide sizes right not too on NTW, for super cheap. Only chose these over the claw because they arent as common, and I heard Mtz's wander really bad.

Skid plates and a tummy tuck

gears and lockers


How it sits now. Only had it a month so stuff should start happening soon.



Jeep had some minor mods done 08/29/09





RE 3.5 Superflex
Upgraded to adjustable LCA all the way around
Adjustable track bars front and rear
Quick Disconnects
Cragar Soft 8s with 33x12.5 BFG KM2s

Also removed the milk jugs front and rear, the side steps, and the rear tire carrier (I do have a 5th KM2 mounted on a soft 8 but do not want to risk sagging my tailgate).

Next mod will be a custom rear bumper with swing out tire carrier.

Looking at getting 31" M/T's to replace the old A/T's. Currently she sits at 3.5", planning on 5.5" and longarms in the front.

Factory 4.0L with a bored throttle body and conical air filter, JET Stage 1, 195deg. thermostat. Front axle D30 with Powertrax, ChryCo 8.25 rear axle with Auburn Gear LSD.

Rarely get stuck, on occasion get high centered.

Lose the smittybuilt nerf bars and put some real rock sliders on it. You'll thank me later. I had the nerf bars on my first Toyota and they can't handle crap. I put some trail gear sliders on my current one and man, what a difference.

Everything is for sale at the right price.

As it is now, I am thinking about getting rid of the boggers (too damn impractical and loud) and get something aggressive but a bit more streetable.
About to get some 35x14x15 Ground Hawgs next week sometime... Supposedly they get about 35-40k miles.

I think I need like a 37" tire minimum to fill out the lift. My 38.5" bogger actual height (on the truck) is right around 37.5", so I figure a 37" would compress a bit too.

I'm leaning towards the Cepek mud tires in a 13.5" width as hopefully narrowing the track by 1.5" will save me some mileage and cut down a bit on throwing rocks on the road.

Actual height on the 35" Ground Hawg is 34.5", I believe.. Let me know what you think about the Cepeks, I've had my eye on those.

I've got nothing bad to say about the TSLs except for that my truck is so damn light I have to ride @ 10psi on the street to keep the centers from wearing prematurely.

I'm also going the DC Mud Country route with my truck. Slowrx turned me on to them as well. NT&W has some good deals on 'em.
