Nitto Trail Grappler Discussion Thread

I'll start, you saw mine. 35s on stock wheel. Fit fine with 1.5" spacers. No rubbing steering lock to steering lock, but I found out mine rub the fender at full flex in the back. I did it on purpose to test, but I'm still going to trim the fenders.

I run them at 22 street and 10 aired down. I went as low as 8, but got pretty nervous. Anyway, the biggest downside I've seen is that they are hard to get to wear even with that thin of a rim. Pics...

Vs rubi BFG..

~3.25 lift

Can see a little flex in the sidewall, that's about 14psi

Overall I love them, quieter than my BFGS and work great for the type of wheeling I do...

EDIT: forgot you asked about mounting. Big O did mine, they asked first, I said it can be done and they proceeded.

Do you have anymore shots of front, rear and how they sit?...please?

Sure, the only thing I have more pictures of than the jeep is my daughter. Let me get some daylight ones just sitting front, back, side, etc.

Ignore the tire shine, I tried to stop them

.
Poser!

Pre bumper chop.

Reason for the bumper chop.

Not full stuff, but be aware of the Rock rails.

More to come...

Thanks Loving it! I might have missed it, but what lift are you running?

 

[catahoula]

What kinda mileage are you guys getting with these tires? They do seem to be rated well across the board with different terrains.

That's tough for me, my computer has never worked, but I don't do worse than my wife's 4 door. 13 to 15 is probably where I'm at. Next fill up I'll do it old school calc.

Tire life mileage or fuel mileage? If the prior I believe Eddie and Cindy have about 40,000 on their 40" trails

Didn't even consider that... Thanks Coz

 

[catahoula]

I would be happy with 40,000 although theirs is probably a lot of trail miles.:yup:

Well it takes a lot of road miles to get to the trails they want to run :yup:

 

[ttfhell]

I think at most you are going to get 30k out of a set and be useful. Less so on 40's.

 

[07JKSahara]

FWIW, I have maybe 7k on mine, no really visible wear. I'd be happy with 40k and I think I'll get it. Mine spend more time on pavement than I'd like..

 

[hdrider]

I have about 35,000 on mine right now. I say about because my odometer shows 27,000 but I also tow it behind our motorhome and the odometer does not add miles while being towed so I can't be 100% sure. But they have been towed across the USA and back plus some.
When I get back to Oregon in April or May I will be getting new tires.

So this time I called my local AT store in Rocklin only to be shot down again with
AT: are you running aftermarket wheels
Me:no just factory
AT: we cannot legally put the 35"x12.5 TG on your wheels. You need to have min 8.5 and factory is 7.5
Me: but all my forum friends are doing it!
AT: it will damage the tire. We cannot

So alas I may buy from AT if they have the best deal but will have to take them somewhere to get mounted. Frustrated!

Let me get a price from my guy up here for you on the tires you want. I bet it will be close and it will include mount and balance.

Sorry to hear... I can't believe the Internet friends comment didn't work!!

Want to take my jeep to go park in front of their store?!?

 

[OverlanderJK]

It's a legal issue I believe.
