If your jeep is clean I'd keep it personally. The ones here aren't going to be real pretty lol. So much rust on everything. Few hundred to have it trailed up here would seem to be worth it unless you just want a beater Jeep. What do you do that's sending you up here?

I'll be working at a food manufacturing plant called A.L Schutzman there in the Pewauke/Waukesha area. They do snack nut mixes, trail mix, have a candy line and a popcorn line. Really great products. There's a retail store near the plant you should check out if you're in the area.

They have really aggressive tread for a stock sized tire. Tires are very important, normally most people I know use "all-season" tires and throw weight in the trunk, they're normally fine.

Any suggestions? Should I still with an AT or go to a more aggressive mud terrain?
