Exactly. It's a pointless exercise. First, let's clarify, the OP wants to downsize the TIRES, Not the wheels. Let's do some math. We'll assume you drive 12,000 miles per year and currently get 16 mpg. And that you get 1 mpg better with the smaller wheels and that gas costs $3/gallon...

My Mojave on XR take off wheels and tires. (315/70-17 BFG K02s) Metric sizes are also easier to find. Also, sometimes metric sizes are the only ones available as a C weight rating. BFG shows the 315/70 with a height of 34.4 and the 35x12.5 with a height of 34.5. So it's hardly worth...

All of which are caused by heat. You can call it what you want. You've done an excellent job describing the situation and the things you have done to try to remedy it on your own. Bad master cylinder? If the ABS was bleeding off brake pressure, I'm about 80% sure you would hear or feel...

I said "most people". The vast majority of Gladiator buyers don't buy it because it's a solid front axle. That group is going to be disproportionately represented in this forum.

Its responses are (and I'm not kidding) better than 90+% of the responses offered by real humans on this group.

If the convertible and doors off part of a jeep isn't a factor, then there are far better vehicles for most people.

Salt water is EXTREMEly corrosive compared with just about everything else. I live near the ocean and everythign, even if its well protected, rusts if its left coated in salt. I'd paint the corrosion with some kind of rust converter and then get a spray in bedliner. Even if they warranted...

This is a completely different situation. This is where someone puts an AirTag in your car without you knowing. It's completely different from you keeping your own AirTag in your car so that you can track it when you aren't in the car. The air tag is bound to a single Apple ID, or a single...

I used to own a 2004 STi and used to flog the crap out of it on dirt roads. It was great fun with zero electronic nannies, but a very advanced AWD system. I have a 22 Mojave with SelecTrac and have hammered it down some USFS roads and it's a blast. Obviously cornering speeds aren't what they...

That looks like an old Hercules that I used to race enduros with. Very cool retro. Though the Herc was an air-cooled 2 stroke. (not my bike, just one I grabbed off google. Same model and era)

The AirTag won't alert someone for 24 hours. It will raise an alert on the iPhone and start beeping. Removing the speaker takes 5 minutes. A certain asset that I own has TWO AirTags. One with the speaker in place and the other very very well hidden with the speaker removed. That's $50...

The 373s are absolutely irrelevant as long as you stay on road. You just use the AT transmission manually when you want to keep the revs up. Overall gearing is what the motor feels. That is a combination of the transmission gear ratio, transfer gear ratio, rear axle ratio, and tire...

Which one? My RZ350 or the XR1200. The RZ is already a classic. I paid $900 for it 2 years old in 1986 with 800 miles on it. It's now worth about 12k. The XR will probably go up at some point. I need to spend some more time on it. I've always gravitated towards light bikes.

Damn. I clicked super fast on this thinking it was a For Sale ad. Oh well. You NEVER see these things for sale unless someone is selling their jeep and removing mods.

I don't know what it is, but I can guarantee you its not brake fade. That kind of low speed crawling heats up the brakes only a tiny fraction of what one stop from 70 mph on the street will do. (Remember that kinetic energy, which is what the brakes turn into heat, increases as a SQUARE...

That all makes sense. This past fall I rode my dad's Harley XR1200 (about the lightest Harley made) to the dealer for service for him. At about 550 lbs, it's still about 200 pounds more than I'm used to. And yes, the seat is wide and high. I couldn't walk it backwards without getting off and...

I get it. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy living with the well known down sides to these trucks. In the end most of the stuff doesn't bother me. It keeps me from driving way too fast, which I tend to do with almost anything, except for the Jeep. And I have fun with it. Doors off, roof off...

Huh? I'm not sure what you mean. Nobody else can track your car if there's an AirTag. Other than Apple. But then again, they can track you if you drive your car while you have your phone. And then there's the Jeep ratting you out with its built in GPS and LTE modem reporting to the mothership...

What are your thoughts on the need for both feet to be on the ground? I am only 5'8". I've raced motocross and ridden on the street with no need to touch both feet ever. The only time it really impacted me is when picking my way through technical stuff. I'm just throwing it out, not...

I had a lot of worry about regretting it when buying my first domestic car/truck ever. Fortunately, mine has been solid other than recurring P0300 (misfire) codes. We'll see how that works out. I've also been pleasantly surprised at the service quality at Lawless Jeep in Woburn Mass. I think...
