  1. Switching from AEV Pintlers

    Not sure. I have AEV wheels and 37" Patagonia's and an AEV 2.5 lift and they do not rub. Second such setup I have had and never any issues. Are you using wheel spacers? The AEV wheels are designed to be the correct offset for the vehicle. Good luck to you.
  2. WINCH AND MOUNTING PLATE

    I bought a Warn winch plate and their 12K winch. Fit perfectly and the winch is almost hidden down below the grille which was important to me. Their winch plate is robust as well. Can't remember what it cost but worth it. Warn is more expensive than other winches but I have had a bunch of them...
  3. Adams Drive Shaft Going Back For Re-tube

    My son now owns the JK. We finally got the drivelines to balance and had no more problems with them but I'm done with Adams. Their attitude about the issue was terrible. I didn't waste the money to send the drivelines back to them after that. I got a local shop to rebalance them, and they were...
  4. Adams Drive Shaft Going Back For Re-tube

    I bought front and rear Adams drivelines for my JK with an LS3 engine conversion. Both drivelines vibrated badly. Adams told me they were installed wrong but the shop I used specialized in off road vehicles and such work. I had the drivelines rebalanced by another shop and they were out of...
  5. Stock height Gladiator Sport S and underground parking garages?

    Best rule is, if you have any doubts about clearance, don't try to park there. I can tell you as a retired Civil/Structural Engineer that many or most parking garages ten years old or older have undoubtedly been retrofit with additional plumbing and other utilities that are supported from...
  6. Does @Jeep Cares really care?

    Do they care? Yes, they care whether or not you buy one of their flawed vehicles. Otherwise, no. I don't know where they found that moron who runs Stelantis but I'm not convinced the company can survive much longer with or without him. This is not the same company it was even a few years ago.
  7. Rugged Ridge Rear Bumper interferes with Tailgate opening and closing

    Good grief, send it back to Rugged Ridge! Don't modify it! It's their problem to fix, not yours. Good luck to you.
  8. Recess Winch vs Top Mount

    I chose a hidden winch setup for two reasons. One, the jeeps have poor airflow thru the radiator to begin with so don't do something to make it worse. Second, mounting the winch between the frame rails provides a stronger mount in my opinion. It pulls almost directly in line with the frame vs in...
  9. Stock Spare tire Bracket

    Not sure what wheel type you ought from the AEV line but I have a set of their wheels, Salta XR's and Milestar 37's on my JT and the wheels work fine with the spare tire carrier. I wouldn't say the lifting device falls right thru the center hole easily but it does go thru okay at the right angle...
  10. Gas still burping up when filling

    I have a 23 as well and mine does it periodically. It has done this since new. I have tried to determine if the vent is clear as well as other possible fixes with no luck. I mean come on, the filler neck is a simple device, it's a tube! The dealers are worthless, and I'm giving them the benefit...
  11. $1000 Budget for Handling Improvements - Best Parts for Highway Wandering?

    Before doing anything, check tire pressure and the tightness of every front end bolt and nut under the car. Have the steering alignment checked before starting as well. Mine came from the factory with a front end out of spec. After doing all these things, then decide what to spend your money on...
  12. PORTABLE WINCH (not bumper installed)

    I built a receiver hitch winch for my son for his ranch. It is just for light work, not pulling our a stuck jeep or truck. It has a 4K winch mounted on a winch plate/hitch. If that is your goal, then you need a 10K min pull winch for recovery and that is a lot of winch power for a receiver...
  13. Colorado Springs--> What's it like to live and Jeep here?

    Idaho, but change your license plate immediately and never tell them you are from California. Best state in the union to off-road. My son lives there and he thinks its heaven.
  14. Hurricane six?

    Not Going To Happen.
  15. Hurricane six?

    Well, now I have one! But the rest of my message is still valid. None of this government intervention in the free market will matter if they win. Unless people like you and me and the others on this site start complaining to both the EPA and the auto makers, we will lose this fight. In...
  16. Mopar Extended Warranty thoughts?

    I bought one. Worthless if you do any mods to the vehicle like lifts, etc. Dealers will use any of these reasons to deny a warranty claim. Will never buy another Jeep from Stellantis.
  17. Hurricane six?

    The LS motors with the cylinder drop feature have issues but not the ones without it to my knowledge.
  18. Hurricane six?

    That's very true. But the issues we are seeing are big ones, not rattles and leaks. All or most of the so-called offroad vehicles are having troubles due to EPA standards. You can only squeeze so much mileage and so much power from an engine before it becomes unreliable. The continuation of all...
  19. Hurricane six?

    I have a 2023 JTR gasser. I have 22K on it and have had no real problems thus far but recognize this may be just luck. When everything in a vehicle is fly-by-wire, you better be darn sure that those systems work before selling that vehicle. What I don't understand is why, after all these years...
  20. Wheel poke

    Well we all have our opinions on the issue.
