Awesome!! That is great. Great photos too. Itās not that I donāt want other tires, itās more that I donāt want to make that decision financially right now. Until I do, Iām interested in seeing how much the jeep can handle (without slicing a tire hopefully). Where did you score the takeoff rock rails?I took my stock (except some take off rock rails and wheels) Sport to SMORR a bit ago. Did great - more than I had wanted honestly.
I did slice a tire on a rock - I would second the earlier mention to consider other tires. Doesn't have to be bigger, but something stronger than the Duelers. (Since this event I've now swapped to Falken AT3W in 285/70/17)
I was even able to complete the two badge trails there!

Rhino Rack vortex bars, the feet that mount into tonneau cover t-slots were sold separately, but also manufactured by Rhino Rack.

Facebook marketplace. I think I paid about $100 for them?
No one else in our group sliced a tire - it was mostly just bad luck, only slight blame on thiner tire.

There are two different duelers used by Jeep, the H/T and the A/T.
Mine has the A/T, I think yours came with the H/T.
H/T is more road biased of the two but I have seen people off road with them, got thru same places I did.

Did people not notice that SOME have said they they have are Bridgestone A/T tires and not the stock tires, which are H/T tires?
Bridgestone Duellers come in many flavors - not just the stock Overland H/T tires (which are actually tough tires, but the tread is for highway, not mud or snow)

The H/T Duelers are crap at anything other than bare, dry pavement.
I upgraded to the A/T Duelers after about 1,000 miles, and they've been quite satisfactory in wet, snow, and off-road (mostly fire-road type.)

H/T Duellers are for ride and MPG. That's why Jeep puts them on the Overland - more likely to be a road vehicle and people looking for ride and mpg.
Big changes when I swapped tires.
I found out also how bad the H/T were on snow and ice here. I switched pretty quickly.
Sold my H/T tires to a guy selling his Nissan truck and he was thrilled to get them.

I didn't notice any difference in either when I went to the A/T.
When they wear out, I'll get another set.

Mine dropped in mpg for sure - visible change. Even the dealer when the tires were installed mentioned it would drop mpg.
No complaints because it wasn't a big drop and the advantages greatly outweigh any loss in mpg.
No way I'd go back to the H/T tires here.

Dang, I want tires bad. Gonna have to wait though, at least a few months. Planning on driving through the forest service/fire roads in Nantahala this weekend. We will see how they do.

I caught a stock one on Imogene Pass. Was damn impressed when you consider a vintage Land Cruiser punctured a fuel tank and another one rolled that day. Not shitting on old school Cruisers, I dig them, just pointing out the trail was rough and they had a bulldozer up there fixing sections of it.
