Every Jeep Wrangler is built to be upgraded. Whether it’s a 1998 TJ or a brand-new JL Rubicon, there’s always room to improve performance, durability, and capability. Below is a deeper dive into ten upgrades that make the biggest difference, along with ballpark pricing to help you budget smart. 1. All-Terrain or Mud-Terrain Tires Upgrading …
The KO2 was the king of the all-terrain world for nearly a decade. It earned its place with Jeep owners, overlanders, and daily drivers alike thanks to its blend of durability, off-road grip, and respectable road manners. Now, BFGoodrich is back with the All-Terrain T/A KO3—an updated version of the tire that built their modern …
The 33″ BF Goodrich All Terrain tires that come with a Rubicon are real nice but they are conservative and just feel small and skinny. We’ve decided to not go big or aggressive with the 4xe and the 35″ size of the same tire is large enough and wider to give the Jeep a proper …
The new Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon features hi-line fenders as standard equipment. These fenders provide a larger opening that allows 35 inch tires to be installed with no lift and 37 inch tires with a 2″ lift. So that being said it seems that 37″ tires will become entry level tires on the new JL, …

The Trail Hog A/T is similar in design to the Goodyear Dura-Trac and offers a lot of features. Aggressive tread design and heavy siping for maximum traction and clearout Features Two layers of …
The Duratrac is relatively new to the market and is an interesting in-between tire. It features mud type tire characteristics as well as all-terrain tire ones. Large lugs for digging into mud and grabbing on to rocks are present as well as a lot of siping to allow fine grip in the rain and snow. …
A few days after the tires arrived at OK Auto we took the Jeep to get the tires mounted and balanced on the Jeep’s Moab wheels. We also took the opportunity while the Jeep was on the lift to look over the underside of the Jeep and check for pulled tight brake lines, wires, hoses, etc. …
So after weeks of thinking of what the first set of aftermarket tires that will go on the new 2012 Jeep we decided on Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. Why? We decided to take a different approach with the new Jeep and keep it like most Jeepers do. A daily driver that sees weekend trail use, …
