That's the same thing that I was thinking. Didn't the flush tails used to be in the mid-$300 range?

Reception isn't 100%, but it is far better than it was before. Nowadays, I'll have intermittent dropouts when facing north (due to the satellites being to the south). No issues related to the windshield or wipers. I have links/part numbers in the video description on YouTube. That sounds like...

Regear complete! I performed the break-in as recommended, and just did my 500 mile fluid change with very few metal shavings. The oil looked great. I went to Offroad Synthetics over in the Buffalo/Niagara, NY area. Brian was exceptional throughout the process, and I can't recommend him enough. I...

Regear has been scheduled! I'm moving up to (all Dana Spicer) 5.13s, with chromoly rear axle shafts. I don't think I *need* the rear shafts, but the labor is free since they have to pull the axles anyway, so I figured I may as well make the upgrade. I'm looking forward to getting 5th and 6th...

Well, I pulled the trigger. Parts have been ordered by the installer, and I'm scheduled for May 11th. I'll try to update here/on my build thread with impressions. This will be the first time I've let someone else touch my Jeep for a modification. I'm a bit anxious about that. I recently moved...

My mpg drop from stock 33s to 35s was pretty painful. I did it at 1,000 miles so the engine wasn't even broken in yet, but I lost 3 mpg if I recall. Those 35s were very heavy though. I actually *gained* around .5 mpg by switching to 37s because I cut 11 pounds per tire. I lost another 2 for the...

Nice, thanks for the info. That may be perfect for me then. I'm an incredibly leisurely driver. I typically set my cruise on the highway at 65, and I think I can count on one finger in nearly 5 years the amount of times that I've gone over 80 mph. :LOL: 6th gear has been unusable since I put on...

Is yours auto or stick? What tire size? From what I've turned up in my research, the 6spd benefits from going a step deeper than the auto? I'm fully content with my 37s right now, but admittedly, they're on the smaller side--actual size is around 36.6", I believe. In the event I ever go up to...

Oh, damn. Well, that's good to know. It's been hard to get an idea because a lot of the posts with quotes that I'm finding are pretty old.

Having recently stepped up to (very light weight, BFG KO2) 37s, and with a bit more play money on the horizon, I'm finally considering regearing and doing some light axle work. I have a 2020 Rubicon with the 6spd, with just under 41,000 miles on it. My Jeep is heavy, but the wheeling I do is...

Big topper guy, and I'm really digging this one. It looks to be very well designed. I was the first U.S. recipient/reviewer of the JT RSI SmartCap, and I have no regrets at all running it (still absolutely love it), but if this was available when I was shopping around in early-2020, it may have...

I'm glad the info helped! I have a 2.5 inch lift with a Tazer reprogram--that's it. No further tinkering or regearing (yet). When the budget allows, I'd like to regear, because the drop in RPMs is a bit more exaggerated with my manual transmission vs. the automatics. I think some good 5.13s or...

I went from chunky load E tires, to a more suitable load C tire. Load C is plenty for Jeeps. I'm not bashing mine against jagged rocks or towing heavy regularly, so I really didn't need Es. Cs brought weight down and gave me a noticeably more comfortable ride.

Appreciate it! I think it ended up settling to just over 3" on all 4 corners. I really like the look and function. I've since upgraded to 37s, and there is still plenty of space. I haven't done driveshafts and don't intend to unless I notice an issue. My setup with 37s now is actually lighter...

I looked for...a long time to find an option that wasn't Mopar--maybe one I could mount to the roof rack, or on the bracket with my ditch lights, but I couldn't find any mention of what would make a particular antenna multi-capable. I actually have another write-up on a Tram antenna that I...

It has been working much, *much* better than before the fix. I will say though: I've found that I do experience some brief, intermittent disruptions when driving/facing north. I assume this is because the satellites are at a fairly sharp angle off to the south because I live so far north. I'm...

Here's a quick video I put together on how to fix bad satellite reception associated with a rooftop setup/blockage. It involves rerouting the signal from its stock location on the roll bar to beneath the wiper cowl. I tested the system after install with a roughly 20 minute drive and had zero...

Overlanders love running rooftop setups--myself included. For a year or two now I've just put up with the terrible Sirius / GPS reception caused by my over-the-cab rooftop setup, but I finally came across and implemented a fix and it works great. The fix was incredibly easy and cheap. I tested...

I finally fixed my poor Sirius XM / GPS reception caused by my rooftop setup. The fix was incredibly easy and cheap. I tested the system after install with a roughly 20 minute drive and had zero cutouts, as opposed to the typical pattern of 5-10 second breaks in reception every 20-30 seconds or...

What's the beef with clamps? Are you just trying to leave your rails open for other accessories? Mine have been bulletproof and I have my bed absolutely loaded (rails, molle panels, tools, medical, extinguisher, propane, hi lift, bed slide, etc.)--no shortage of place to mount stuff and the cap...
