Never heard of hudlow. I'll check em out, thanks. And the right tire is rubbing on the front of the fender.. Pretty badly tho.
I feel like the axle is about as centered as it can be... Idk. I measured halfway thru the fender and hung a weighted string down from the center and the axle seemed to fall dead center on both sides.

Hudlow has been around forever but got somewhat famous for building a 14 bolt front for xtreme 4x4 a few years back. I stop by every so often just to see what they are working on. The Busa/Bug rat rod is sweet.
Back to your issues, let's start with how much lift you have and and go from there.

Alright everybody, I need some advice. Im tore between selling one of my Jeeps and buying a dual sport dirt bike like this http://cookeville.craigslist.org/mcy/4104620521.html or http://knoxville.craigslist.org/mcy/4083366473.html or similar. Whats yall opinion? 
My DD is the 2 door and heres a few specs:
-1999
-HP 30 front 8.25 rear
-5 speed
-218k miles but still runs absolutely perfect
-3-3.5~ Lift
-265/75/16 Bfg ATs on TJ Moabs (Less than 10k on them)
-Interior 8-9/10 nearly mint (aside from typical tear on driver seat from climbing in and out)
-Headliner Redone
-Overhead Console
-New Speakers and stereo with USB and Aux
-H4 Headlights 55/100w and upgraded harness
-I take alot better care of this then most people my age do. I dont beat on this one.
My woods Jeep is the 4 door. Its street worthy and everything. Drove it to Cleveland 2 weeks ago with no problems. Here's some specs on it:
-1999
-Its Burple (Deep Navy Blue/Purple) haha
-HP 30 front 8.25 rear
-Engine has 110k, Body and Trans has 208k
-4-4.5~ lift
-33x12.50x15 Federal Couragia's on 15x8 D windows (fronts have 90% rears have 70% from misalignment but I fixed it)
-Headliner Redone
-Removeable Door mod done right
-Stereo with Aux
-Bedlined floors
-Interior is 7-8/10
Anyways, what do you guys think?
Im tired of my 17 Mpg when I dont need the 3 extra seats 6.9/7 days of the week. I really like the KTMs. My DD is much more reliable but man I love the heck out of my woods Jeep and going doorless, plus I enjoy the 4 door more for some reason.
How much would you guys price each?
Do you think a dual sport is a good idea?
Or should I sell both and get a dual sport and a Comanche then do a full 97+ update

I've been considering a crotch rocket as a dd.
I just got a new job..and will be parking in an uber small parking deck.
Xj on 35s won't fit.

Where in Soddy do you live cause the 2dr looks familiar? Anyway I've never liked enduro type bikes, works on street and trail but not very good on either.

I live in Possum Creek. But Im in Hixson 80% of the day. I have a friend that lives in your neighborhood and cause I recognize your Jeep haha. Its a compromise for street/trail. It depends alot on the tire. The enduro's have a 6 speed trans and are said to cruise 70 mph pretty easily.
