Over the rough stuff, I 100% agree. And when installing better components in the lift, im also on board.
I guess my comment is more directed at the folks who add lift/tires then say it drives better on the highway, and is getting the same or better gas mileage
I feel like a curmudgeon even...
Everytime is see these words i think the exact same thing. I don't understand how a lift and larger tires is improving all these rides and in some cases increasing MPG.
The only thing i can think, other than confirmation bias, is that these trucks come with a little too much caster from the...
Thank you for this. I started Watching this thread in case someone verified before i could get out of work and check for myself.
I was already thinking of a 3d printed lever or pull string I would attach to whatever mechanism was doing the locking in order to bypass
Keep in mind that GPS isn't necessary as accurate as ppl think. It basically works by taking timestamps from different satellites, how long it thinks it took to receive the data, comparing them to known current location, doing some math and giving you a number.
If it is cloudy, there are...
Agreed. The more info out there, and the easier it is to come by, the more the possibility of misinformation.
There's def a ton of arm chair quarterbacks out there. Here I am touting driver experience, getting to know your vehicle, and I haven't been off road in YEARS. Lol
I'll throw my 2c in.
I think the issue is the abundance of choice. New Jeeps (and most new vehicles in general) are vastly more capable than those of years past.
A stock Jeep will do 90% of the trails most people commonly hit with someone that knows the limits and capabilities of the vehicle...
Looks really good! I was already searching for the VIN from a '24 in my color so that I could do the same. Was going to talk to the parts guy when i went in for my Jeep Wave oil change ;)
I guess that depends of the functions of the ProCal vs the Tazer. I actually purchased the Mojave lift that did NOT include the Procal because i knew i would buy the Tazer to use the additional features
The tire size/mpg issue on the Procal should be easy enough to sort with some...
Pros:
Style Preference, unique look
weight savings?
able to add accessories/lights more easily
Cons:
Style preference, not many fans of the aesthetic
winch access
possible airflow issue/overheating?
headlight access
offroad/rock chip damage?
As mentioned, it is your vehicle, if you like...
Keep in mind, it's off by a percentage, not just 2mph across the board. Also semantics, but 2kmh = 1.24mph
Again, I'm not not arguing, just trying to share info
If you are GPS speed 50mph, and your Jeep is showing 52mph, then you are off by 4%. After travelling 300 actual miles, your jeep...
Cloth and Cold Weather is not an issue
The Mopar Handles will NOT work with a soft top. I believe they use the same attachment points as the soft top hardware.
This is absolutely what we are talking about.
Here is some theoretical math, of course real tire size measurements will vary, and this doesn't take into account that the correct gearing is set...
Going up from the stock 285 (33") to a 37" tire is something like a 12% change to the what the...
Definitely not trying to argue with you, your picture proves the Jeep is measuring 19 mpg. I think all we are saying is to double check your config to verify what its seeing is accurate.
Best case scenario, you verify you are getting good mpg and can keep on doing so
Worst case scenario, you...
I have a similar set up, 37s, 4.10s and I get avg 15-16 mpg. speedo is gps accurate, tire size in my Tazer is set to 36.78
I would double check the size you have entered in the Procal and verify the speedo with gps and the correct measure over a mile
not saying you did anything wrong, but...
