    Here are some shots of my BU running Rattlesnake at 5 mile near where I live. We ran this trail during a meet and greet for the Off Road Expo. It's a pretty intense trail and despite the doubt from the other jeepers, I made it to the end. It made a lot of heads turn in awe. I love pushing this thing to its limits.

    I have to say, if I didn't have those rock sliders, I would have eaten up my sides a ton. They were essential for this trail.

    Hope this gives you all encouragement to go out and ride hard!

    Definitely the "least capable" rig out of those, good to see the capability. Especially on the stock tires, looks like they handle pretty good as long as conditions are dry. Ive gotten caught in some sticky type mud in mine and they just fill up with mud and spin.

    Yea, I've had similar experiences with mud. If I could afford it I'd go with the KO2's or drop to a 16" wheel with M/T's

    That's the same dilemma I keep thinking on(16" vs 17"). I just ordered the lift, and im hoping to be able to do wheels/tires by the end of the year. Maybe by then ill have enough info from others to better decide what size to go with and what tire choices are out there.

    If you can afford it, 16" rims would give you that much more meat on your tire which would help.

    Nice pics! Makes me like the orange that much more. Great seeing the Renegade in action!

    Id like to go that route, but not sure if I want to have to run spacers or not yet. Also haven't found any 16s that I personally like the look of, other than the G-Force wheels that I cant get too much info on.

    Hopefully by the end of the year when im ready to purchase, there will be some more options available.
