As much as Cindy and I absolutely LOVE driving JET Li, our 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited bone stock, there's no way we would ever keep him this way. Needless to say, we've already put together a list of things we'll be installing and as luck would have it, Brown Santa has already delivered the first of our goodies - a set of new shoes. Specifically, a set of 37x13.50R17 Cooper Discoverer STT Pros!

For those of you wondering why STT Pros? Well, we've been running them on both our JK's for about 2 years now and this short video will show you some of the places they've taken us during that time as well and how well they've held up.


With all that said, here are some shots of what we just got. Drool away :drool: :crazyeyes: :cool:

These new 37" Coopers sure have a way of making the stock 33's look tiny. Hell, they make our JL look small too :crazyeyes:

Absolutely love the STT Pro side-biter shoulder lug design.

The best part about them is that they're as functional as they look!

The ridge you see separating the side-biter shoulder lugs from the tread help the tread do a better job of wrapping around rocks and obstacles.

Of course, just for fun, here's a look at what a set of 37" Cooper STT Pros will look like installed on JET Li.

This rear 3/4 view really gives you an idea of just how much bigger the 37x13.50 Cooper STT Pros are compared to stock tires.

Awesome. That's going to look sweet. When are you mounting them up? Just got a new set of Coopers today myself. Can't thank you enough for recommending these a couple years back. They are a kick ass tire on the rocks, love em.

Thanks and glad to hear you're still happy with your Cooper STT Pros too :thumb:

I really want to mount them up as soon as possible but we're expecting snow tonight and maybe all week. Really sucks to work on beadlocks when it's cold out. :rolleyes2:

Never used their lifts but I have used their skids and liked them.

Well, after going through a host of different JK lifts over the last 11 years, EVO is what we're running on both our JK's now and they've always performed like no other.

This video will give you an idea of what their lifts have done for us :)

Never been on Fordyce . I was hoping to do it this summer but I don't think I'm going to make it .
I looked at the JL evo setup up and see 2 stage 4 kits . I'm not seeing shocks with either of them and not really understanding their thought process but I figure they have some reason for it.

Outside of the Sierra Trek event, Fordyce is a tough trail to run if only because it's hard to predict the water flow. But, if you ever get the chance, it's the real deal.

The EVO kit is designed to retain your factory ride 100% and that's why it retains the factory coils and shocks. The drop brackets will help to ensure that even more. We won't be running the brackets being that we play way too much on the rocks and will destroy them. As far as new coils and shocks go, they're coming and we'll upgrade to them as soon as they're out.

Are you talking about the geo correction brackets like the ones on the overlander series lifts ? Those are excellent for street manners but I bent one up one the dusy pretty bad ! LOL!

Yup. They do their job well but make no sense to have if you spend any time on the rocks.

Can’t wait to see it! The coopers were one of my top picks. Those pics make me second guess myself. Lol. Awesome.
