you are going to need a lot of trim to stuff 33's under there. unless you don't want a lot of flex room. looking at the pics, it looks like you would be better off with 31's.

There are many many miles of State Forest trails all around my home that I occasionally drive on when I'm going through withdraw or just want a birds-eye view of the county. These trails are nothing hardcore..or even remotely close..just very scenic w/ a few tiny play areas.

There's areas here in Perry County that would be prime wheeling material..however it's all private property. I just go to Rausch Creek. It's about 1hr 15 mins. from me but well worth the travel time to get there.

As for XJ's or Jeeps in general in Perry County..I see 'em every now and then. Most are in Cumberland County (Carlisle) where I work. A couple of them frequent the NAXJA site. I'm "89XJPIG" over there.

Paragon didn't shut down..they simply re-located..lol! Seriously though..Paragon was badass and I'd love to see it re-opened but that doesn't look too likely.

I don't think you'd be disappointed w/ RC though.

Very nice Drewdertuder! Glad to see you got the lift done! It looks real good.

I was also thinking about 33s on my 3" lift as well but the amount of trimming needed has kind of turned me off of the idea for now, I'm probably gonna just go with some 31s and trim anyways. I'm also interested in hearing about the Cooper M/Ts available at pep boys as I recently found out about them and the price is friggen RIGHT!
