I live in the mountains and canyons above Denver. I think it says in the manual it's for "conditions with variable traction" or something to that effect. When it snows up here, it doesn't always snow down in the flats. When it rains in the flats and snows up here, there's a narrow section on the...
Tread Lightly is a 1% discount for $100 if you plan 30 days in advance.
With that and a plane ticket (super cheap these days) or a day's road trip (less cheap, more fun), you can get 8% under invoice at SLC. Tied for the best deal in the country. I'm not affiliated or anything, but these posts...
Yeah... Forum people are a minority. People who research major purchases before blowing their load are an even smaller minority. It blows my mind how someone could spend many tens of thousands of dollars without making sure they're spending it well first, but people blow my mind daily.
For those not at altitude in the conversation, it's worth noting that @DocMike is short 51 hp right off the bat, @WK2JT is down 43 hp (assuming he's at 5K'), and I'll eventually shave fully 60 hp (an entire VW beetle, and a late production, most powerful engine they got version at that)... Air...
I already pointed to a thread on another forum where one was installed, but I'll weigh in on a slightly different angle as well:
My ZR2 Bison had a wireless charger in the center console from the factory. A lot of people complain about their phones being too big, but the issue there is that...
Different platform, but pretty easily applied if you can find a good spot for it:

Admittedly not on a Jeep, but I have seen people regretting deep gearing. Different application, platform, and all sorts of stuff though. You definitely can go too deep, just probably not within the bounds of this conversation.
@DocMike , that looks like the chart. Thanks for the memory...
A RTT would only affect things at speed. It doesn't weigh much, just frontal area and drag. Not sure what you mean by "camper". There are a number of colloquial meanings. A topper? Camping trailer? Something else? Topper won't affect much, trailer might.
Rubicons, Mojaves, and Max Tows have...
Well... Jeep themselves have pretty well spoken on the topic when they announced the 35" tires on the Recon (or whatever it's called) package trotted out to throw water on Ford's Bronco fire. 4.56 is the standard, but you can option up to 4.88. Exercising that option gets you a 100:1 crawl ratio...
Shortly after we brought my wife's JKUR home from the dealer (new in '16), I noticed some spots on the frame that looked like the frame had been shipped stacked after paint and before assembly. Little wear spots through the paint in places where another frame would touch top/bottom. She got a...
When we bought my wife's JK, the manual had a specific break in procedure (and I'm sure still does). You are supposed to keep it under 55 and vary the speed for some number of miles. 300 is what I recall doing with the JK and reading for the JT.
Personally, I'd do it for 500 miles. That's a...
Aside from the red one with the half suite of mud flaps, and the single electric doodad on the other, I don't see a single thing in any of those photos that gives away anything insightful. Things expected to be coming down the pipes are 35" tires from the factory and 4XE. That's all that's made...
Invoice prices are pretty readily available for most makes and models if you look. There are services that you can pay to get this info (which may be required for some makes/models), but often google will tell you if you ask nice enough. It's not really much of a secret.
The easiest way to find...
Won't help much if you're not at home, but for less than $50 all in you can set up a PiHole on your home network. It varies depending on what you're doing, but it cuts down data throughput by as much as ~25% by diverting all traffic from ad servers to nowhere where they never actually load. As a...
A few people have installed commercial L-Track. It's used in aircraft and such to tie down loads, and is only slightly overkill. Super versatile, lots of attachments, and relatively inexpensive. Some commercial group recently started selling kits to go around the periphery of the bed up top with...
I can't speak to stickers on the textured plastic, but I used to keep magnets on the roof vent of my '62 VW bus. Places we'd been. We got a few magnets gifted to us. That sort of thing. Bus left a decade ago, but most of the magnets are on the fridge still. It was fun, and added character (not...
