I run the 315s (C-load from a Raptor) on my JKUS and trailer (have now purchased 7 of them). Mounted on AEV Savegres - 17x8.5. Love them. Great in the snow. Don't groove hunt as bad as other tires I've had. Quiet and smooth. Highly recommend.

That's funny - saw your marketplace listing a little bit ago. Good deal but I haven't ordered my JT yet!! Appreciate the offer, though. Would be all over a road trip to NC from Indy! I am usually in Greensboro every September....but COVID...

That would look great. Go for it and post pics! Can't imagine the spare wheel not being able to support payload or tow weight, right? What if you get a flat while towing your travel trailer with your family and gear packed in? Anyway, at 7.5" wide and OEM offset/backspace, there are plenty of...

That snip is from their webpage - specs on the Vector 5 with -6mm Offset.

That's actually helpful - thanks!

Caraddict, Yes, much better - looks great! Are those the 4.5" or 5.75" backspace Vectors?

I like the fact that you had a build concept from the beginning and you are sticking to it. That seems to be the hardest part for me! Keep the updates coming - looks good.

What happened to code XHC, the Trailer Brake Control, for $395 (!) that was listed in the July order guide????

Funny, I looked twice because I figured there is no way they didn't offer billet... Thanks for pointing that out to my dumb ass!

Strange that they now charge for black, red, sting gray, etc - non-metallic colors. Where is silver?

Super helpful. When it comes to Jeeps, I have an attention deficit disorder. I absolutely love my 2017 JKUS; 3.6, 6-speed manual, 35s and 4.56s - great fun. As much as I would like a bed for yard, camping and mountain biking junk, the JK does everything I NEED a vehicle to do. I just can't help...

WXman, Thanks, that is good advice about the local service contact. I have owned two turbo diesels prior and loved them both. If I order a 3.0 JT, the decision will not be based on "value"... Interested in your answer to Irtexasman's question, too! Appreciate the input - thanks.

Irtexasman, Thanks, yeah, I saw that video. Either a gas or diesel would suit my needs as far as towing is concerned. That said, it seems clear that the same 4,000 # trailer will tow "better" behind a 3.0. I have the 3.6 in my '17 JKUS. With 35s and a manual, the added 4.56s work very well...

Yeah man, just having a little fun with the calculator, that's all. Since the Max Tow doesn't seem to be available with the diesel and my tow requirements are in the 4,ooo-4,500 pound range, I felt the diesel would tow that 4.5k better than a 3.6 max tow. Dunno - haven't driven one yet and all...

I have read many posts saying that the diesel is $4k more than an auto gasser... Spending hours attempting to justify the additional cost for the diesel has me thinking the following: I will most likely order my JT Sport (Willys?) from one of the sponsor dealers offering 8% under invoice. This...

Sting Gray, Max Tow, Willys, please!!!

@sbetts Those Borahs are 5.77" back space, 17 x 8.5, right? Any pics down the side of how far they stick out past the flares with the KO2s? I have AEV wheels on my JKU and love them. The Borahs will (most likely) be going on my Gladiator. Thanks! Steve

That's why I think I will start with cloth. Worst case is a set of seat covers or Katzkin leather. Figure I can do that and use a black dye pen on the steering wheel, shift boots and door panels. Paint the dash Sting Gray to match. No more red.

Funny, my wife feels the same way. She started me on this path of ridding the interior of red. When I saw it in person, I liked it (with a sting gray ext).

Holy crap! $1,500. Wow. Well, then it makes a ton of sense to get the saddle leather if you can't live with the red. See, just justified another $1,495 on the JT!! I've seen pictures, but can anyone comment on how light the stitching is with the saddle?
