Rained today with a little bit of that sno cone stuff mixed in. Might have some of that white fluffy stuff soon. I’ll keep an eye out if none of the northern guys don’t beat me to it. Lol
I think hella yellow has come and gone a few times under same/different names. I seen a sarge green JL a little while back at a dealership and could swear I seen a JK of the same color at a Jamboree last year. I believe Hydro blue is a return color but they used a pearl base on the JTs so it...
1.5” terraflex spacer front and 3/4” daystar spacer in the rear on 37’s. Left front and right rear were 1/2” off the ground and right front and left rear were completely stuffed. (Rear sway bar disconnected also)
Being as it’s been 4 months and no pic of anyone parking on top of a street legal car. Wondering if you might want to change the pic request to something more obtainable....
Okay, so I found a pic of the Gladiator outline logo for the Cricut maker so got that covered.
Ended up getting a 3D printer finally. Any chance you can share the cookie cutter .stl file on thingiverse so we can make one too??
I’ve heard a few people say they liked them. Looked at those as well when I bought these XMT’s. Former coworker had the trail hogs? (All terrains) on his full size truck and said they rode good and did great in the snow, didn’t get ALOT of miles out of them but he also drove his Silverado like...
As someone else stated, it depends on your budget and needs for the tires. Personally, I’ve got the factory 33” Falkens for street use pulling the trailer and a set of Achilles Desert Hawk XMT 37/12.5/17’s ($260 simpletire.com) for daily use and off-roading.
Kinda like comparing the Ranger FX4...
Yep. Still very happy with them.
Not as smooth or quiet as an A/T tire but not nearly as rough or noisy as the last M/T’s I had (Federal Couragia M/T) run them at 28psi cold for flat contact patch (chalk test) on the street and running about 17 off-road gave good grip/flex/cleanout. When warmed...
JTR w3/4” lift towing 7x16 v-nose cargo camper conversion weighing 4700 (probably closer to 5k w/clothes, gear and foods) got an average of 9mpg from St Louis to Yellowstone and back. Reved up to 6k rpm in 4th gear to hold 70 up the hills but with WDH and sway control, I hardly felt the trailer...
This is why I’m planning my next JT to be the diesel. Right now my camper weighs just under 5k. We’ve looked at a few that were roomier and weigh in at about 6k. Towing the 5k to Yellowstone, the JT kept 70 going up the hills in SD, WY, and MT (& the hills in MO that are steep enough for truck...
I mostly agree. That’s kinda what I was trying to say in my comparison between choosing a 1/2 ton or 3/4. I guess I should have made the comparison between JT and 1/2 ton. If I was gonna be towing 6-7k once or twice a year and not very far the JT will do it (albeit struggle doing so) yet still...
Here’s the way I look at it.... fuel mileage increase is not gonna earn back the initial outlay and extra maintenance costs over the common time of ownership for most people. Some may keep the truck for 10 plus years and actually recoup the cost by way of fuel savings but for most people it’s...
Had similar issue putting 15k winch and bumper on my JTR dropped front end 3/4”. 35’s fit on stock JTR but needed a little lift for 37’s so I went with terraflex 1.5” front spacer and day star 3/4” rear resulting in 3/4” higher than stock front and rear for the 37’s to clear but kept factory...
Same (sort of). Gave up waiting, camping season arrived. Realized that I use the 12v socket for my electric cooler when traveling anyway so I went with the curt spectrum and mounted the knob under the transfer case shifter. Works perfect.
Only thing I’ve noticed is it resets the self leveling...
Again, advertised and real numbers are a bit different. Max tow is advertised as 7650 I think. Add about 500 and you get the 8140 his shows. My JTR is advertised as 7000 but mine shows 7445. Your Overland is advertised at 6000 but is actually 6330.
Remember back when car makers would list a...
Seems like it may be pretty accurate.
Consider this, the advertised tow ratings are going to be on the conservative side because of liability and common sense. They advertise 7000 on the JTR and 6000 on your Overland. Reality is the actual numbers are a few hundred pounds higher without...
Basic JTR only a few options (hard top, cold weather, auto, tow package) shows 1245 payload and 7445 towing. Looking at getting a roomier trailer for camping and looked the other day at the tag doing the math in my head I figured towing around 7400 using GVWR - payload on the sticker = 5k lbs...
He’s BSing you. When mine went screwy they told me that FCAs protocol was to get a replacement axle from Dana, replace and send old one back to Dana. They didn’t even want me to drive on it for fear of it locking up. Him telling you that FCA won’t do anything unless it’s completely broke is not...
