No. I purchased Cooper Discoverer STT Pros (37x13.5R17) right before my Moab trip this fall so this is my first winter with them. The previous two years I've had Kanati Trail Hogs which were excellent on snowy, icy roads. The Cooper's are decisedly not excellent. When I bought the Coopers STT Pros I realized they don't have as much sipping as the Kanati's therefore probably wouldn't match the Kanati's on ice, but the Coopers are nowhere nearly as good as the Kanati's. What is really suprising is that I've read pleny of forum posts and articles where people are stating the STT Pros are a ..read more

The parts shown below have seen just TWO Wisconsin winters, they are about 2 years old. Dana put almost no consideration into the finish of the Ultimate 60 axles. They are painted with a cusory amount of paint that probably washes off in the car wash. Only the differenctial cover has a durable finish, the rest of the axle, including the rear hub bearing housings have almost not protection. This rusty hub is not a nice look. This is a Metalcloak RockSport shock. Part of the issue with the RockSport sock is the plastic sheath that covers the shaft of the shock doesn't fit perfectly in-line wi ..read more

I took some pictures of my new Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires next to my Kanati Trail Hogs. The STT's are 37x13.5r17 and the Trail Hogs are 37x12.5r17 so the STT's should be a bit wider. The Trail Hogs have about 30,000 miles on them when the pictures was taken ..read more

I hate to admit it but my Jeep has never seen a trail. It's been in 4-wheel drive for snow and pulling people out of the ditch, but never on an actual challenging trail. I am about to fix that. I will be in Moab Utah for the Red Rocks 4 Wheelers Labor Day Safari September 1st thru the 3rd. My Jeeps first pilgrimage to the promised land. I might be hanging out a few extra days so let me know if your in the area or are participating in the event, I'd love to meet you. My plans aren't set yet but I might also be in the Ouray / SIlverton / Telluride area of Colorado the follow ..read more

My Jeep has recently developed a minor but noticeable case of Death Wobble. It occurs when traveling around 34-36 MPH and usually requires an adequately undulating road surface to initiate it. Researching the issue I found this article at jeepz.com which covers the issue very thoroughly. The issues seems to be a mysterious subject with a myriad of possible cause, as if all Jeeps are on the verge of Death Wobble and the slightest wear on any component will send your steering oscillating. Reviewing the usual suspects I'm guessing I'm going to find a loose component since I don't think ..read more
