Hi Fido, They really don’t make much noise, I also run them in my XJ and work great, thanks for watching and please remember to subscribe as it helps out the channel. 5150
Hi Richard, We installed both aluminum arms parallel to each other about the 10 O-clock position facing the wheel from the passenger side. Then we adjusted the the links to give us the most possible droop. If I remember correctly the arms can be position any place on the spline, just make sure both sides are the same. Thanks For watching.
Would have really enjoyed the explanation of how to accurately adjust these. I'm a little stumped on my install for the XJ. Think I know what I'm doing but would rather watch someone else do it 1st correctly.
Hi WilleCoyote, According to our guys at Goodyear the Goodyear MTR with Kevlar is an asymmetrical tire, however it is not directional. An asymmetrical tire has different tread characteristics on its inside and outside edges. In the Goodyear MTR with Kevlar’s case, there are chunky blocks on the outside edge of the tire and smaller blocks on the inside edge. The larger blocks are designed to attack and stick to rocks and other obstacles while the smaller blocks help dissipate water, mud, and sand. Although it’s indicated on the tire to “mount this side inboard,” our Goodyear contacts assured us the tire can be run either way. In fact, they have heard back from various competitive ’wheelers who preferred the MTR with Kevlar mounted with the large blocks on the inside and small blocks out. Hope this helps. ’Wheel on.
Learn something everyday! Just from the pattern I figured it was a directional from the resemblance of a tractor tire. How do they handle and wear being mounted like that
Looks good, nice job. I might tackle this project his summer.
Currie makes nice stuff.JL is coming along nicely. Gotta see it wheeling!
Currie recommends front and back install for it to work correctly. Would like to have seen a drive and commentary
Can you tell me something about the noise that they makes normally

How do you figure out what spline position to mount the aluminum arms at?
How do you figure out the proper end link length?

Any reason why your directional tires are on backwards. Not being snarky just wondering

@@WilleCoyote223 No problem they wear and handle great.
Any time on them? How’s he liking them?
He has one trip to Cleghorn and really likening it.
