Been to Moab maybe 10 or 13 times, I led trails up there and there are always guys showing up with some 4wd rig he is all full of it, often they end up flying back home or spending $2000 +++ to be extracted. Some guys with exotic rigs that they have invested tens of thousands of dollars in will...

I have never seen one past 12k, why, just not needed if the 12k don't it then its not coming out.. Let say again winching is a dangerous business, if you are not confidant in your ability winch you may be better off not even going there. Off the top of my head I have seen 3 people die on the...

Not going to give a recommendation just gonna provide you with my experience and let you chose. Anyone here done a FULL PULL with you winch under water, and I am talking a 100 ft pull, saving a life and a Jeeper. Well on a run we crossed a near dry river in the Sonoran desert that morning...

Excellent and very comprehensive chart. That said if you just need on data point I use the RCI (Rock Crawling Index): Rubicon OEM: 1st gear ratio X Transfer case low gear ratio X Rear axle ratio divided by tire height = RCI Now input your Jeeps data and see how it compare. Objective to have...

You can go to high or to low. So for clarification Low = Higher numbers like 4:88, 6: 14; Higher 3.x 2.x etc. As you go lower your engine rpms increase given the original tire size As you go higher your engine rpms decrease given the orginial tire size 1) what do you intend to do...

Not sure how how Jurfie ended up being quoted, not my intention at all, it was at MC guy and if you what I said you see where it came from, anyhow fixed it removed my quote of Jurfie and since he did not say anything that offended I am sure he knows I was not aiming at him... so my apologies to...

So if you did not want to be: "a dick or a smart ass...and certainly not trying to stifle forum member(s) right to say whatever they want." why did you say to begin with. I have prob been on forums (BB's) longer than you have been alive and there is always someone who is a wannabe moderator...

No not at all. The point being the original design team built the Rubicon to a set of principles that were designed for rock crawling. 37's with 4:1 transfer case and 4:1 low first gear work well with 4:88's. This what I ran on my Jeep for almost 100k miles wheeling across the SW US for 8...

TRUST me on this THEY KNOW IT! Only been on Jeep forums for a few years going back to around 1980 or so. Here are some given's based upon my observations: The bigger the tires and deeper the gears = increased MPG: Bigger taller tires cut thru the air badder than skinny OEMs The higher the...

Are you the Thread Done Police or is someone FORCING you to stay in the thread...tell me who they are and I will get the off your back, NO ONE should be forced to remain in and read a thread they no longer wish to participate in. Or are you just jumping on the trend of Censorship?

He did some work at the house and he was part owner of a garage where most of the big work was done.

My BIL had a beautiful Chevy Blazer, its the model with the removal roof, one cool vehicle. he bought to Mud in. Dropped in a 454 crate 500hp motor, B&M special trans for $2k and when the dust settled he dropped over $80k in the rig and this was in 1982 dollars. This also led to his divorce...

I had sold my 2001 TJ to a good friend it was Monday and I stopped off at a big Jeep dealer in Dallas to see if I could order a new one. Its around 10 am and a sales guy comes out the door as I park my car and I ask if I can order a new Jeep. He says to me, we just came out of a meeting and...

There is a reason WHY I don't own a Gladiator (my wife does) and a reason why I got rid of my Hard Rock Rubicon. 3 guesses and the first 2 don't even count. Here is a HINT, see attached pic. That is me driving across a RAGGING river to save a man and his jeep, I had to roll up the windows as...

Not braggin if its true so the next time you fold down that windshield, give a tip of your hat to the the Ole Cowboy here, I was the guy that saved it for ya! If you want to know the story just ask...

I ran 4:88's and put 80k miles on that Jeep, MUCH of it Hwy on trips to Ca, Nv, Moab, Rubicon, Death Valley Baja you name it....That said it was a TJ and Bulletproof 6. That is down-low for both HP/Torque, you get nearly 80% of your torque just off idle and time that engine gets North of 3000...

Hecto, Its a 2 step process: 1). Get the Mfg chart on you tire and it will provide psi <> weight. In example you Jeep weights 3850 lbs, you look the chart closest to 3850 lbs and it says 32 psi. This your starting point. 2) Look at your contact patch. In the tire business FULL CONTACT...

Thank you very much. Here is the backstory: Over the years I had DW from time to time and the cure was a new Steering Stabilizer and a rotate/balance of tires. But when I kicked my Jeep up to notches unknown with 37's, full beadlocks and started driving thousands of miles a month hitting...
