My use will not be much off-roading, I work too much lol and I need my death wobble fixed. Mostly highway, taking the bike to the trails, shooting range, up to snowboard, to wisconsin to hunt....

I love Ohio...born and raised....but hate and dont miss the weather. Welcome to WOL. Your death wobble problem is almost always due to track bar issues.

Yeah I have looked a lot into it. My warranty I guess won't cover this issue so could I slap the dealer with the lemon law act, since it happened on the way home from the dealer... I don't want to get rid of it, it is in excellent condition minus that i guess. So basically that bolt kit can solve it if it hasn't oval'd the hole or broke welds?

I would have them take a look at it. Its not too expensive to fix and sometimes it takes as little as torquing that bolt down to spec. If the whole is wallowed out, you can get a larger bolt and/or weld washers to either side of the bracket to create a tight/secure fitment for the new bolt(which is what I would do for added safety and to beef it up a bit also).

Hello from a former Ohioan (Cincinnati)

The Nitto would be the best in my opinion. It has the most sipping (the little squiggly lines).
They are going to give you the best wet and snow grip. I have heard from other members they are quiet too.

Oh, I also think your JK is "one ugly Jeep"

Just kidding, :thumb: it looks almost exactly like mine. Very nice.

I agree that public land is VERY limited...but south east Ohio has some AMAZING land to wheel on if you know or get permission from the land owner!

Take a look at the Falken Wildpeaks. They would be my choice for an AT.

I lived in Germany for 17yrs and that BMW M3 would've been the ticket on the autobahn. Too bad its totaled...:grayno:
