I purchased Cooper Discoverer STT Pros (37x13.5R17) right before my Moab trip this fall so this is my first winter with them.

The parts shown below have seen just TWO Wisconsin winters, they are about 2 years old.
Dana put almost no consideration into the finish of the Ultimate 60 axles. They are painted with a cusory amount of paint that probably washes off in the car wash.

I hate to admit it but my Jeep has never seen a trail. It's been in 4-wheel drive for snow and pulling people out of the ditch, but never on an actual challenging trail. I am about to fix that. I will be in Moab Utah for the Red Rocks 4 Wheelers Labor Day Safari September 1st thru the 3rd. My Jeeps first pilgrimage to the promised land.
