Tire Talk!

This Jeep Talk Show episode, the flagship episode is brought to you by you, the listener. And we gotta have you guys, you know that. We love you. Even if we don't love you, we say we do. I'm Tony and welcome to the Jeep Talk Show, the premier show for Jeep enthusiasts and hardcore off-roaders. Whether you're new to the Jeep world or a seasoned Jeeper, we've got you covered with the latest news, tips, and advice to help you get the most out of your Jeep. On tonight's episode, we're in our news stories, what tire do you buy? No, don't panic, it's not gonna be one of those things exactly which tire to buy. It's really gonna be a discussion about tires and just how damn confusing it is and how many of the tire manufacturers out there. And I think we have a perfect person to help us in this discussion. And it's Greg from Unofficial Use Only. And also too, we're gonna be talking about do you Jeep wave? We recently have been talking a lot about ducking Jeeps. What about this other thing that is kind of unique to Jeepers, the Jeep wave?

In Newbie Nuggets, Wendy discusses what Jeepers do on Independence Day.

And then they must have stuff for your Jeep, additional tie downs for your Gladiator Trail Rail System.

- Are you ready? It's time for the Jeep Talk Show with hosts Tony, Josh, Wendy, and Chuck. - Well, Howdy, it's Wendy. And what do you do to celebrate Independence Day with your Jeep? Hmm, we'll explore that.

- And hi, first time on the show, my name is Greg Henderson. I own a little shop called Unofficial Use Only and I build Jeeps.

- Gee Greg, that reminds me of the book of revelations with the Mark of the Beast where you have to be marked on your forehead.

(both laughing) - The Mark of the Beast. - Yes, but you have to explain it Tony to the people who can't see us on YouTube because they're listening. - Well, it's really simple. All they have to do is go to YouTube and watch, damn it. (both laughing) - But it's so cool, just for you now. - No, absolutely you're right. So Greg is with us today and he was wearing a nice Jeep Talk Show sticker on his forehead. And it also could be used for blackhead removal from your nose.

- Yeah, well, I felt left out because I'm sitting here and getting ready for the show and getting ready for the intro. And I see you've got the Jeep Talk Show hat and Wendy has a sticker on her microphone. So I had to play along and give myself a sticker. - Absolutely, thank you, I love that. That's absolutely wonderful. All right, so let's, we got a voicemail in from Steve-O. He's from Illinois.

And he has a comment about a recent thing we talked about on the show.

- Hey Tony, Steve-O from Illinois. Hey, just calling about the last episode. You talked about the rock hard. For my four skids for the lower control arms. I put those on. Let me tell you, the pictures online don't do those things justice. They are solid. I put them on before EJS in 2024.

I have no regrets, pretty much. It took some hits, kept on going. My only complaint with them is the bolts they supply to replace the stock bolts are SAE and not metric.

That I just think is an over said on their part, but it's annoying because now you got to carry these sockets when everything else in the DMG is. - I got you. - So. - I thought he was going for a joke there because one's better than the other, but I'm fine with that. - Yeah, he's just talking about having to carry extra tools. - Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Greg, are you familiar with lower control arm skid plates? - Yeah, I'm very familiar with lower control arm skids.

They really do help in a lot of different ways, depending on the terrain that you're tackling.

And he mentioned that he had the Rockhard ones and I will say Rockhard is a phenomenal company made in USA.

The original owner is still involved. It's a really great company. I've used their cages and lots of other parts. So they really put a lot of effort into building beefy stuff.
