Again, it's not just about tire size, it's also the weight you're adding with winches, bumpers, skid plates, etc. Going from 33 to 35 for me required re-gearing due to the added weight of all the new crap ...er, equipment.

*facepalm* why do people still think magazine/site rankings still matter? These people (and any other 'independent ranking' entity) have been feeding themselves off corporate pockets for years, just like politicians. They have *zero* credibility. Zero.

It's not just about tire size, it's also about weight. 300+lbs of steel bumpers, winches, skid plates, bed racks, etc need to be factored.

Unfortunately, people coming in with their first post claiming disaster is always met with some skepticism. It's the reality of the internet. It may entirely be legit, and I'm sorry if it is, but getting attention from Jeep in this forum is unlikely.

Yes Rockblokz are offensively overpriced for what you get-- to the point where they give you the middle finger if you ask them why. But until someone starts making something similar, they're your best option.

Prior to winter blend gas, 15.5-16mpg, since winter gas, 14.5mpg. Due to wind resistance, I get the exact same MPG on the highway as I do in the city. 35's with 4.63 gear, winch, steel bumpers and full belly skid.

I like the look (except the wheels), but would never buy a Tesla. I don't trust Elon Musk to not implode the company on some "eccentric" whim, thus leaving a vehicle with no support 3 years from now.

Tazer has been plugged in for 8 months and everything has been running just fine, at least with the radio. That said, if unplugging from original location was the reason I stopped getting text and email spam from Jeep, for a useless app that told me how much gas I had, then I consider that a bonus.

My Taser Mini is always connected and doesn't have a noticeable battery drain, at least with whatever firmware was pushed out around April (haven't updated since). My JT sits for 2 weeks without driving, fairly regularly. My question is, if I remove the Taser, do I plug it back into whatever...

There's a 4.63 option that splits the difference with Nitro gears. It's what I have, and it's great. Basically gives me stock performance with 35's, and a whole bunch of added weight (steel bumpers, winch, full belly skid, etc).

I didn't do the install, but was apparently required with the TrailFX kit and presumably had instructions. Hooked it to Aux 4.

As a first responder for over 20 years, I understand how you sometimes see things on a regular basis at work, and assume it's enough of a risk to plan for it. In this case, the chances of a significant crash, leading to spontaneous fire due to a winch, is so very remote... Plus, some winches...

Depends on what batteries they're using 2 years from now. If it's still lithium (or worse), I'll pass. If they're finally using solid state, I'm all in.

Finally bought an OEM Mojave rim for my spare ...because no one here would cough one up for me. ;)

Yes, I chose a stubby bumper that required modification of the skid. I initially left the skid off, but you really do want those shock reservoirs protected I noticed, so I had it cut and reinstalled. That said, I have access to a number of custom shops here that had that ability (metal...

There are several bumpers that require modification of the front skid. Relatively easy fix for a fab shop if you don' t feel comfortable doing yourself. That said, some people just don't reattach the front skid. I tried this for a bit, but it left my shock reservoirs too exposed, so I had it...

As for pure off-road capability, the Jeep destroys my (former) ZR2. On road is a different story...

Yes mine was very 'locked' at first-- and I actually came to this forum to ask if it was normal for it to be that difficult to shift into 4wd. Turns out it was, and after a couple dozen times now, it's still tight but has loosened up considerably.

Sure is. However I've never had a Jeep before, so maybe it's just a Jeep thing, vs specifically Mojave. But it's more capable than ZR2 this or that I've had, "off road rated" widgets, subies, etc.

I absolutely was not good on 4.10's when I went to 35s with the manual. I went to 4.63 (long story on the gear...) and am glad I did. If I had any desire to go 37's, I would have done a bit more, maybe 5.13. 35 is more than enough for a daily driver with occasional overlanding.
