Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, or a 2nd Gen Explorer
 






Jeeps are fun in general ... I like wranglers better myself but any of them have so many possibilities as well as a 2nd gen but the jeeps are more bolt on than custom and I love originality

Only advantage jeeps seem to have is gas mileage and two solid axles. Explorer has one. But no good jeeps. Good Explorers are fairly easy to find.
 






I need to take some new pictures....

Not bad for 33's. I hate my neighborhood as I can really have any project car, code says;. 'All cars in my driveway must be running and drivable'. I was hoping for a project Jeep but cant...
Well I'm tryin for a solid truck too. If I can get me a toyota pick up, F150, or even a ranger I will.

Kazer, how did you like your hankook dynopro's
 






i've got about 16k on them and visually they look brand new. even tread wear, great price, however they do have above normal road noise. i run 245/65r17s and they seem to have weak/mushy sidewalls, even at max psi (44). overall i'd say 9/10 only because of the noise level. oh and they handle great in snow, rain, and thick mud.

im estimating about $570, but its hard to say because alot of them were presents lol.

Is there any difference in sound with the "duals"? I had a performance muffler installed on mine and I love the sound of duals, but since it is not a true dual, is there any difference?
