You should not unless something is truly defective with the tire (or rim). Any tire shop worth it's salt should know how to mount and balance. Your tires should have a colored dot marked on them close to the rim. Sometimes several dots. Make sure that aligns with your valve stem. It marks the...

I would think that would work fine. Those backlights are not very bright so I can't imagine them drawing much power. The question is always will it draw enough power to trigger the computer into thinking there's something wrong in the circuit. I would think in this case it would not. Happens a...

Close to the headlight connector. I used a meter to determine which wire was hot when brights were turned on, and used that as a trigger wire for the relay since the amount of power to trigger the relay is so small. I don't remember off hand which color wire it was... maybe white or gray. I just...

It's really not difficult to control any auxiliary light combination based on if you're running your high beams or low beams. As far as wiring, it's a separate wire going to your headlights for highs so it's easy to make a basic circuit with relays to trigger what you want. In my case, I wanted...

Love the snow.

That's what I have and I love the look of these wheels. It was a very hard choice with so many different styles but this one seemed to do it for me.

They are very capable without the lockers but it all depends on what you mean by "offroading". That means something different to everyone. For some that means driving down a gravel road and going though a small mud puddle. For others it can mean crawling over boulders the size of smart cars and...

That appears to have taken care of it. Thank you!

Just my luck, apparently I am having some issues. The lights themselves appear to work perfectly and the more I see them the more I like them. They look awesome in the dark. BUT, I see now that I get a fast blinker with using the turn signals even though I've confirmed they work fine and blink...

I received mine and have them installed (including the BSM) and no issues so far. Love the look and the backup light brightness is outstanding. The regular lights seem to be a bit brighter than factory as well. I'll throw my before and after pics on the pile here as well. I did not have any...

It's basically a non-aerodynamic brick. I get about 14.8 for in town with 4:10s and 37s. You want good gas mileage on the highway, learn to tailgate. Seriously. Letting another car cut the wind for you will be a dramatic increase in gas mileage. I'm guessing some of you with your high mileage...

I did the ceramic coat on my Raptor when I bought it. Went straight from the dealer to the business that does them and I told the dealership NOT to wash or clean it. It looked absolutely awesome. For the Jeep though, I wanted to do the self-healing 3M Expel wrap instead. More expensive but...

Mine is a wrap, and I'm awaiting the Oracle lights arrival.

I'm a big fan of that tailgate look. This is mine which is Sting Gray. I had the letters done in the satin black as well, but had the red layer outline show.

I have the HikeIT one. It works decently well and has an automatic mode that adapts to how you drive. If you're easy going then it lowers the ramp. If you're constantly giving it quite a bit of throttle then it ramps up to meet your driving style. I like being able to add a little more response...

Thanks. I didn't really have any pictures of just the Tonneau cover so I had to find something from the back where you can see it. :) That suspension is the RK Pro-X No Limits Stage 1.

I'll second on the Diamondback. If you want security and strength, the Diamondback is the ticket. A 500 lb gorilla could jump up an down on it and wouldn't hurt it, and it would take some work with a crowbar to try get into it. For me it also makes an excellent platform to mount my HAM antennas...

I usually air down to around 10-12 and I've never popped a bead yet. I'm not too comfortable going below 10 without beadlocks but I would imagine you could hit 8 OK out in the sand if you didn't do a lot of tire spinning and full throttle stuff. Depends on the tires though. If you have stiff mud...

Overall I'm pretty happy with mine. My 2010 JKU Rubicon with 37's and 5:13 gearing couldn't pull itself out of wet paper bag. So in that comparison, the Gladiator is outstanding. My 2019 JLR felt faster than the JTR. Compared to some of my previous vehicles like my WS6ZXR that I raced for many...

Oh I'm quite familiar with it. As a photographer (when I'm not an engineer) I photograph a lot of places and keep notes, mostly for myself though. Since you're going to the Badlands of South Dakota, I'll leave you with one of my shots from the last time I was there. Get there early or late, and...
