Just wish I knew how they got messed up. Did the guy run over a 4x4 on the highway??? Definitely nothing obvious on the outside.

You won that bet!

The verdict is in... Two bad tires/wheels. We've been switching tires and test driving for about 3 hours and can definitively say that two are bad, two are good. To start with, we put two of the takeoffs on the front of the Mojave. It shakes like the Sport did. Swapped the right front with...

We decided, based on everyone's input, that we'll swap the tires/wheels on my Mojave with the takeoffs. Then put the Mojave wheels/tires on the Sport and drive both first thing in the morning. This should answer a lot of questions about tire size, weight, width, etc. and whether...

We have not swapped front to back. Only side to side. We talked about it, but it was getting way too hot and I was frustrated so we dogged it off til in the morning. If your theory is correct, I could put the takeoffs on my Mojave, and put my Mojave set on the Sport, and get the same result...

Less than 600. just got it about a month ago.

Thanks for the good advice!

Yes sir, sure seems that way. Me and my friend were talking earlier that Im tempted to contact the guy and tell him Im not trying to get a refund or anything, but just want to know so I don't chase my tail unnecessarily. He probably wouldn't fess up at this point though, and Id still have the...

No, the did dynamic balance. There are clip on weights on the back lip and stick on on the inside.

This is what I was thinking too, but haven't seen this specific issue before. Just not sure how to figure out whether its a tire or a wheel. Maybe I should take just one off of my Mojave since they are the same and swap them one at a time to see which one is the culprit. Then I could focus in...

There isn't any obious damage to the wheels. I looked when I bought them and we've been looking more today. Could still be damaged though. I will have to see if I can borrow a dial indicator at work. My friend and I talked about that but neither of us have one.

Thanks! Yes, these are factory tires. I am not sure if they removed them or not. I dropped them off and came back later. They do not have a road force balancing machine though.

Thanks, the wrangler in the video is a lot worse than what Im seeing. My wife's Sport only has about 600 miles on it so I would hope all of the potential wear issues wouldn't be a problem. My friend suggested we swap the tires from my Mojave over to her Sport and drive it.

I finally got the Mopar TPMS sensors for the Rubicon takeoff wheels & tires (~15K miles Falken 285 70 17) I bought for my wife's Sport Max Tow. Took them to a reputable tire shop in Alexandria La to have the sensors installed and the tires balanced yesterday. I installed them this morning and...

Thanks! I downloaded the searchable owner's manual. Much easier than digging around aimlessly in the paper copy when I can't find things in the index. I might still ask some dumb questions though! :giggle:

Your description sounds like me. I use the data when I need it but ignore it if not. I have a friend who was obsessed with his "Current MPG" display. Drove me nuts to ride with him for a while until he got over it!:)

Im not sure if I will leave it on permanently. I think it is a good indicator to see what is going on as you are changing things up like tire sizes, etc. I know I like having it on my F250 when Im towing. It's really hard to tell between 9th and 10th by looking at the tachometer. Let off the...

Point taken. Where did you find this info in the owners manual? Before I asked the question I looked and could not find anything in the index that led me to an answer. A the time, I did not know if there was an indicator or if people were going by RPM, as I mentioned in my initial post.

Definitely a good average mpg! I need to tinker around some more with the configurations to customize it in both my wife's Sport and my Mojave.

Im on my 3rd fillup and my mileage is improving. So far the dash is showing 18.4 on this tank. Mostly highway driving.
