And the V8 ZJ is solid vs the hollow XJ one. Be careful at the junkyard mine did end up being bent a little. The ones that get drug around are probably a bad choice. That being said I pretty much buckled the stock tie rod the ZJ one is still holding up strong with my abuse.

Ive run 2 sets, one set on early Bronco 100% trail rig loved em a bit lacking on a slick sidehill type situations. 2nd set on a 78 cj 7 60% street they lasted about 7months or so.. overall i like running them plus they look bada@$. LOL. I have had really good luck with TSL swampers....

It depends on the definition of "street" i commute 80 miles round trip 4 days a week, so no they wont last for me. Someone who drives a couple miles 1 way they will last longer. Months wise. Its all about perspective. LOL. How do you like the Dynapro's ? Are they an all around good tire? What do they generaly run a set? Cost wise?,

Radial TSL's or radial Pitbull Rockers might be your only bets for an aggressive tire like that. The boggers do good in certain situations offroad. Their directional tread tends to slide off of rocks and they don't sidebite or flex well. They are bias so wear is quick.

Anywhere know a place where I can score some Duratrac's in 30x9.5x15? Seems like they only make them in 31 size as smallest.
