Technically not my Jeep, but my wife's JLU. After being backed into 3x since we moved down here, found a great deal on a take-off and swapped in a good bumper again. We have a dash camera with 360° recording movement and impacts to catch the next time it happens. South Texas drivers seriously...

That's the impact, again later in the trail and then a month later when I swapped out damaged lug nuts. Actually impressed with the tire, as it would have gone longer if I hadn't noticed it. No loss of air or any handling issues.

It's a Mickey Thompson tire. Looking back at photos from that trail run and a month later, the split happened at the time of the impact, I just didn't notice it until 2000+ miles later.

Yeah, I'll stick with my assessment of bad u-joint.

I'm also assuming in that video it's in 2wd, there's no wheel spacers on the wheel, and lugnuts are tight.

Anything can fail at any time, is just a crap shoot as to when. Quick test, put into 4wd, and make sure the disconnect locks turn hard left. Leave it in gear, jack up that wheel, and rotate the wheel forwards and backwards and you'll probably see the issue immediately. You'll need a 12 point...

Bad U joint.

Clunk noises after off-roading, start with the shock bolts, then the track bar, and finally control arm bolts.

Call Mickey Thompson, they'll need your original tire info from the door tag, and they can tell you what pressure to run them. They told me 46psi, but I run them around 42. They're Load Range E, designed for full size truck dually applications, so they're higher than expected.

Definitely not the MT fault. Mine for not noticing it until now. After looking though photos, I had swapped out 2 damaged lugnuts October 12, and there in the photo, bottom right I see the split. On Hamburger Hill, zoomed in, there's the split. That tire has done 2000+ miles since that impact...

I did get a split on one of my MT 255/85/17 on Monday. It was definitely from a trail impact in September, but didn't split until 2000+ miles after the impact, after we dropped to 50° from our normal 80°.

They prefer to blow smoke up our a$$ instead. 🤣

Here in South Texas, leather means instant death unless you have a remote start to get the AC going.

Lucky I run a matching spare tire and rim, so I'll get the new and add it into the tire rotation pattern, back right as that's most likely to spin under loose traction over the others, and less likely to affect tracking down the road. I'm at 15k on this set, and no limited slip to worry about...

Unintended tire replacement later this week. I'm thinking it's a delayed split from a run through Kane Creek outside Moab. Front driver tire. Noticed it today.

Also, unless the harness has been updated with this already pinned, it's not plug and play. You can turn the dash indicator on through jscan if you wire it to the light switch where the fog and bed lamp button is.

Unless you have an import VIN, they won't be able to sell them to you. May have to go eBay route. I put them on back in early 2020, damaged one end of 2023 and had to go through eBay to get a replacement as no Mopar distributer would sell me one. Hoping that has changed.

I've had my Badland almost 4 years, going strong, lots of use over the years. Huge value for what you get. Get a mount for the included cutoff switch.

@WILDHOBO is a good resource for that specific unit. He installed it and has done a few trail runs. Here's some video.

You'll have to make a run to the border, Big Bend, and we can test it out. Again, many thanks for the gift. Much appreciated.
