No prob. But like i said, way to many factors to guess what you'd get. Mileage, ignition & fuel system & tires are going to be your biggest factors. 18 would be pretty good.

On the subject of tires, how well do General Grabbers wear? It'd be 33s on my DD. Just wondering because its between them and some KM2s. The red lettering would look pretty sexy on my red jeep.

the at 2s do well on wear for daily driving, they have done me well so far i haven't been out much wheeling with them but i have drive up some large snowy hills and they seem to have good traction

i do love the looks of the red letter grabbers though, they will be a strong consideration in my next set

Could you use one of those rubber strap wrenches that they sell at parts stores or home depot? Iv done probly 5000 oil changes by now and there is some tough ones but never that i couldnt get off. We use strap wrenches, we have a "claw" that goes on a ratchet and the more leverage you put on it the tighter it grips, we also use the filter pliers. If not id do as someone else said and tap a "dent" around the base and tap it with a hammer to break it loose.

When you get it off make sure to lube the new filter gasket because that is part of why this happens to people.

Got about 10,000 on mine now and they are wearing fine so far. I am going to advise you tho, the red letter GG's are heavy as lead. A friend weighed his at 95lbs before rims... Each...

Better pull out the big wallet and plan to not drive on the road.

Those are stickies. They go for about 450-550 each.

Weird question, Do peope with trail only rigs ever ride with no shocks? Wouldnt that gain more flex? Because all the jeeps i see that can flex like this / or this \ only seem to be limited to their shocks.

\ or / just means very big flex on like crawlers
