Jon Wilder of Round Rock, Texas, drove out in his 1999 Jeep XJ Cherokee to partake in the 2nd annual Jp Dirt ’N Drive, and we were certainly glad he did. Jon is a recent convert.

The 2021 31-Inch Tire Run was hosted by the Sierra Rock Crawlers pitting fullsize rigs against the Rubicon Trail—with nothing but tiny spare tires!

Thankfully, AEV adds a lot more than just tires for the money. You get the company’s 17-inch wheels and DualSport RT suspension, which provides a 2.5-inch lift with Bilstein 5100 shocks.
