The all outside lugs on all 4 of the tires on my JT look like that.
What tires do you have? Haven’t seen many people show chunking on Trail Grapplers. I looked at tires for sooo long, and you can find one or two people at least that have had it on any tire. Nothing is immune depending on environment/use.
Went with Coopers and pretty happy, I used them pretty good on few badge trails (no major chunks but a few nibbles). Loud around town but blend in with wind noise ?
Almost went Yokohama M/Ts because they’re supposed to be very quiet but couldn’t find many reviews of durability, and I was most concerned with getting a flat. Coopers seem pretty bulletproof so went with those.
I’ll concede I think good A/Ts would serve me better (mileage, noise, snow, just as good traction and be just as durable - you need them in mud, and I never see mud). I just love the look of my M/Ts!

The Mickey A/Ts seem like a great option (aggressive looking, too) and will probably get those next time.

Installed a pair of Redline Tuning gas hood struts. Took about 7 minutes. Initially, and it’s hot today, they are pretty powerful and raise the hood at a controlled rate, not too quick, not too slow. The real test will be how they perform in cold temperatures and how long they continue to work. I was delighted that they play nicely with the ARB compressor chuck and filters on one side and with the ducting for the snorkel on the other side. No interference at all. I am very impressed on day 1.
Been debating on these.
One of the best, simple, easy mods that made quality of life better. Mine are still working perfectly after over a year.

I am thinking about getting this for my Mojave. How is the orange color compared to the Mojave hooks?
It’s close, but not exact. I like it, adds a little more color.

Was just curious. Not sure if it means anything or just one case because you off-road a lot?‍♂

First time out with them and they got chewed up.

About a month out from having my 2022 rubicon for. A year. Hit a new milestone on the odometer today.

I have had mine for 2 weeks over 1 year, and I have 17K on it! You don't drive it much do you?
