That’s definitely a good solution, thanks!

@@KCars no problem.

What kinda front bumper do u have?

These are getting really difficult to find in good condition

If you're in Cali909 I have a Stock '97 xj, 4.0L ,i6, 5 speed manual, 2wd 142,000 miles Asking 3,350

@@BUKWulfSh0t I'm in Colorado, which also means I kinda need all wheel drive, but I appreciate the offer. It's a good price too

I try to keep mine pretty clean and nice. 10 inches is awesome, I’d love to see some pics. Thanks for watching!

Enjoy it! And the wiper blades were replaced about a year ago before I got the Jeep. I think the ice made them not perform as well as they should

How much $ in the UK?

Nice! Sounds like a tank, thanks for watching!

I think it’s the best setup if it’s not a dedicated off road Jeep

My first XJ 1996 5 speed Dana 30 high pinion with 8.25 29 spline axles ended up on a 3" Rustys offroad lift basically and 35s on 15x8 steelies was actually a great setup, my 95 2 dr SE 5 speed with around 3" lift and adjustable Ironman 4x4 fab upper and lower control arms ( Best short arms in the business ) on 33x12.5x15 Baja Claws drove and handled amazing! Best xj I've had, my 4.6 01 stroker on around 6" Rough Country long arm on 33x10.5x15 BFG All Terrains with 8.8 Ford rear axle with 4:11s and transplant Dana 30 high pinion was fast as hell! The 4.6 stroker is so worth it! Unfortunately I sold it to a friend and he made her mint! Custom interior etc, 2 day ago I picked up a whacky 98 on 33x12.5x15 Falken Wildpeaks that look brand new, she needs some work but runs strong and drives good, I'm S.A.Sing my 03 Tacoma so she's my daily driver now, I love my trucks, want More!

Dang sounds like you’ve had your share of XJs!

Thanks!

True, thanks! Always better to be safe than sorry

Hard to compare the actual stability but the mud tires definitely performed better. Could’ve stayed in 2WD the whole time except for the icy part. With the all seasons I had to use 4WD for some parts of the same drive even without ice. Spruce knob during the winter would be a lot of fun but might be a bit too far for my comfort level with my 21 year old XJ. Might be time to add a new wrangler to the collection and then make some trips?👀

@@KCars thanks for clarifying..did the bigger tires bring you gas consumption down a whole bunch?.i have not owned a jeep but suppose to pick one up tomorrow..i'm up in the panhandle and back in a hollow so i'm thinking of going slightly higher and bigger before next winter..

I’ve never actually calculated my MPGs so I’m not too sure on the fuel economy. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the fuel consumption with the XJs. It’s smiles per gallon for me🤷🏼‍♂️

The wait is over! Thanks for watching!

A lot of fun, thanks for watching!

How so?

@@KCars Snow tires or snow rated A/T tires are designed to hold snow in the tread grooves and sipes (snow on snow gives maximum traction). The siping is what gives you traction. You'll notice a dedicated snow tire has massive amounts of siping all across the entire tread block whereas a 3 peak rated a/t ( these tires do well in heavier snow conditions) will have a good amount of siping as well but not what a true snow tire will have. Then you get to the m+s rated a/t's which have siping but not as much as a 3 peak rated a/t (these tires are good in lighter snow conditions). M/T's on the other hand are designed to eject all material and debris from the tread block to be able to clean itself and dig in for maximum traction in mud. Which is completely contradictory to what is required for maximum traction in snow. M/T's have virtually no siping as well in the tread blocks (again, with a M/T you want all debris removed from the tire and not held onto which makes them bad all around for snow conditions). You'd most definitely see improved performance by airing down your M/T's float on top of the snow but would absolutely need to be aired back up before taking it back on any road surface as the tire would maker any road travel extremely hazardous at lower than rated psi. Sorry for the length of this explanation but it's necessary to adequately respond. Hope this helps !

I always thought it was the opposite. That if snow gets trapped in the tread it would basically make the tire bald and not have any traction. You learn something new everyday

@@KCars Another major factor is the rubber compound. Tires are engineered with a specific temperature range. That's why you see race cars zig zagging on warm up laps before the start flag drops- they have to get proper heat into the tires so they'll grip. Michigan gets some intense winter conditions, and nobody ever mentioned winter tires to me until I lived in Alaska. Now I absolutely refuse to drive without them in winter. It feels stupid, foolish and irresponsible without them... kinda like not wearing a seatbelt. But with the amount of snow you get, I wouldn't buy them.

💯

I believe these are the stock mud flaps that came with it, I did not put those on. Thanks for watching!

@@KCars Ah bummer! These are impossible to find. Thanks anyway.

No problem

I used to think that this was a good idea until I did this and my tires completely locked up because it was so slippery and I had no control over it and almost wrecked. That’s why I rely on only the brakes when in slippery conditions because if I start to lose traction I can let off the brakes and regain traction and correct it instead of continuing to slide.

No I didn’t

It would be advice-able at such expeditions to bring a bag or two of sand, and a shuffle. Just in case..

That would’ve been a good idea, I wasn’t too worried though since it was under a foot of snow

Air those down to 16 and it's a whole new world. Like floating on marshmallows ☁️

👍

That would be nice

@@KCars THey're on my list for the Bumble Jeep...

That will definitely be useful

I believe it’s an AFE power catback, I got it with that exhaust on it

Would’ve been so much fun to see how that thing did in 2 feet, thanks for watching!

@@KCars TFL lives in Boulder CO. They beat the crap out of 4wds, me too Switzerland trail, luckily you have a mountain goat, get a warn wench and a 3.5 lift and bam!!

@@KCars thanks

@kaan2528 you’re welcome

Ya just being consistent I think

💯

Those came stock

I go over all the prices in my review video if you wanna check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odKomcWWvsuwZJc.html

@@KCars Thanks, I will. Just found you channel. Love the color of your XJ. Was that a factory color?

Thanks! Yes, it’s called patriot blue

Yeah that color is sweet!

Mud tires worked great even only in 2WD most of the time
