As for retread, I'm gonna get the "Guard Dog M/T" tires. I've poked around and lots of jeep guys like em and they wear really really well apparently. The only complaint I found was that the lugs are a bit to close together to really be "mud tires".

I thought you were out at Ray's with Doc, Mike, Anya, and me a couple weeks ago. Anyway, I'm liking the Crawler M/T. Looks rather similar to what I'm trying to find:

I'm quite happy with what I have now. Running 33x12.5/15 Maxxis Mudders. Pulled me out of a mudhole as few weeks ago, and pretty quiet on the street.
117,000 on my ZJ, runs like a top. Only replaced the brakes, thermostat, steering box (Durango) and control arm bushings so far and I bought it @ 90,000

I kinda miss the road noise from the MT's. His ZJ ran good too, then he started being dumb.



Did this a few times, plus over rev's made for sparkly oil.

Those days of being dumb are over.....
Plus, she is my daily driver so I have to baby her to an extent. I know I'll end up burying her, that's why I am mounting a winch. Cheaper to replace that than rebuild a motor
