New 39-Inch Street Legal Krawler™November 22, 2005 Until now, you could only enjoy the 39/13.50R17 BFGoodrich® Krawler™ T/A®KX tire off-road. Now the massively successful rock-crawling tire carries DOT approval, meaning it can be driven on-road and off. Which inspired the suspension experts at Fabtech Motorsports in Chino, California to create a special Jeep Wrangler TJ Unlimited concept vehicle to explore the boundaries of on-/off-road performance. "We built this as a platform to showcase our new Crawler suspension," says Jason Jones, manager of new product development for Fabtech. "The idea was to show off what we have developed as a fully functional, very aggressive off-road kit that is very street-friendly as well. With the new street-legal 39-inch BFGoodrich Krawlers, you have an off-road vehicle that is street-drivable, where you don't have to trailer your off-road rig to where you want to go off-roading. You can drive it there." Besides the "Fabtech 8" High Clearance Crawler suspension with 2.5 inch coil-over shocks, this Jeep is equipped with a Fabtech custom roll cage, heavy duty front and rear axles with ARB Air Locker differentials front and rear, and stump-pulling 5.38 gears. It also sports a 4-speed automatic and, just to make the point about the street driveability of the new Krawler™ T/A®KX tires, it comes with AM/FM stereo and a 6-disc CD player, along with high-back bucket seats and a rear slipcover.
