The Cooper stt pro comes in 33's? I thought it was only 32x11.5 or 35's. I could be wrong but I remembered looking at them before I chose the MT and that was one reason I chose the MT.

Just looked again and they do offer a 33x12.5 so I stand corrected. Maybe they weren't available yet or something. Who knows...

I already know that. I'm running based on a need basis. If I needed more traction on the road, I would reduce the tire pressure.

The setup that I have is giving me the best fuel economy with all of the driving that I do.

Ditto. 55+ miles a day isn't too kind on the old wallet.

I am running the PRO's as well. Just installed a ruff country 3.5 last night. These tires are pretty dang good IMO.

finished my weekend laundry list today. UCA bushings (4), lower adj CA(leftovers from the LA swap on the 89), rear brake hardware (broken springs fell out when I rotated my tires), new thermostat, oil filter adapter seals, CPS, rear main seal and oil pan gasket. I had to pull off earlier than I wanted due to unexpected company.

And now plenty of time to wheel. Nice.

Torture-tested my new cooling system by driving around all day in the 100-degree heat. Working great!

Also found not one, but TWO overhead consoles in the junkyard today... Took the less crappy one and got the heck out... Too hot for junkyard crawling!

Nonsense there is no such thing as too hot for JY crawling

Today I cleaned up my JY found skid plate and painted it. the humidity was so high it took 3 hours for the paint to cure enough for me to move it back to where i am keeping it til it gets installed on Monday.

When someone was trying to sell Rough Country relocation brackets as "Iron Rock" brackets and told me to Eff Off when I told him they were Rough Country brackets, that pretty much put the final nail in the coffin lol.

Those people don't care about anyone, just their money. Every time I say something in that group, someone has a problem with it.

Yeah there are those in that group that I gotta take with a grain of salt. I moreso stick to posting within my local group's FB page or FL4x4 FB page. But I do have to say there are a few guys in CJK that are genuinely good and are interested in helping people out and not being d-bags. I stick around for them - and to kind of be the voice of reason to those genuinely interested in learning.

Definitely understand where you're coming from though.

I think a lot of the good members are also a part of Trail Monkeys :P
