Interco Irok 36×13.5×15 Review

t1

I decided to try out Iroks even so I had no major problem with my BFG MTs but with a new lift (RE 4.5) they were looking small. The tire industry had also changed a lot in the last two year and options are now endless and mind numbing.

I could go with a more aggressive tire this time because the Jeep has migrated into a weekend warrior and no longer serves the daily drive role. I had always loved the Iroks since they came out but I was a little unsure about going 36×13.5 and really unsure about getting bias ply. After costing them and finding out they are cheaper than even the budget model 35s I was sold and kind of wanted to take a risk to try them out.  (Edit bias Iroks are no longer a budget tire)

Kilby Tj Gas Tank Skid Plate

In my mind one of the most likest parts to dent on your Jeep is your gas tank. The tank skid on early Tjs is nothing more than a tin plate to hold the tank in place. (The tank was improved in later years but still isn’t great)

Why do I need a skid my gas tank is plastic? Well you can puncture plastic too and over time all that thumbing and dragging over rocks is going to take its toll. Your fuel pump is inside the tank, you don’t really want to hit that to many times. I know from experience!

Installed: April 2001

To lift a Tj there are so many options and so many different combinations but I’ll try and put them into 4 main categories

– Spacer lifts

This is when you simply put a spacer between the coil and the coil mount. Kits come normally from .75 inch to 2 inch. You can get away with running factory shocks but you will not flex well.

Teraflex Tj Quick Disconnects

j1

Quick Disconnects are a personal preference and there are several different ways of doing them.

  1. Homemade – Just undo the bolt and they are disconnected, cheap but dirty
  2. Aftermarket – one of the most expensive options but allows you to get difference sizes, easy to install and safe.
  3. No sway bar – people do this but I don’t suggest it unless you trailer your jeep, it isn’t safe. I’ve done it and it makes your Jeep handle very different.
  4. Other sway bar options – I didn’t do much research on these but there are some items you can get that totally replace the swaybar. I’m told some people love them and some people hate them but normally always they are expensive.
