I have a 100 highway mile commute to work every day and my windshield gets a different crack almost once a month. 70mph limit interspersed with three separate 55mph construction zones and big dump trucks pulling on and off the highway. I've found speed doesn't matter nor how far back I follow...
This would be a great truck to buy back from the insurance company and make a dedicated off road beast. You should call and ask what they'll take for it after they total it.
So It's time for my state inspection and I have to break down and pay for a replacement windshield. If I replaced it every time a rock cracked it I'd have done so SIX TIMES since buying this thing. I drive 90 miles a day to work and back at 72 mph on a busy highway with endless construction so...
Both purchased new last December. That's mine on top and a friend's on the bottom. All four of his fenders have a small ridge on the leading edge that isn't on my fenders. Anyone have any idea why? Both are stripped down Sports with only options Auto and a hitch.
I've had death wobble issues and I can't run my tires below 40psi at highway speeds without getting it. Having the tires inflated to be firmer seems to prevent it but I think it's just a band aid fix and doesn't address the actual problem which I suspect is the soft rubber bushings used in the...
It's very possible that the cold weather is causing a drop in the pressure in your tires. My truck gets death wobble at lower tire pressures (below 40psi) but never gets it otherwise. Maybe try taking a pressure reading and then try increasing it over 40 and see if that makes it go away.
When I lived in MN the cold would cause the tires to flat spot until the rubber heated up and became pliable. It was like driving on cinderblocks and you had to go slow until they warmed up.
I suspect it happens when it's cold because of the lower air temp reducing the tire pressure. My Gladiator will go full death wobble with the tires at 35psi but over 40psi it never happens. Wrangler owners have noticed this pressure correlation as well.
*UPDATE*
Before swapping them back off I decided to experiment with tire pressures. The 275/70R17s I took off were inflated to 42psi and had never induced death wobble. So I upped the pressure in these 255/75R17s from 35 to 42 and drove it to work and back 40 miles each way on the same roads as...

Yeah but it will drive along smooth and quiet with no indication that anything is out of balance. No vibrations, smooth and silk and then if you hit a bump at speeds above 65mph all hell breaks loose and I'm not kidding when I say it feels like the truck is shaking itself apart and it will...
So I picked up a set of wheels from a local guy really cheap off his 2011 Wrangler Mojave. I needed to rotate my existing tires so I thought why not throw them on and drive to work and back then finish the process. Well it's 40 miles to work and back all highway. On the way home I was going...
Haters gonna hate lol. I get lots of compliments on my truck with the "awful" steelies but I personally think they look good on this truck because they go with the unpainted fenders and black top and trim. I like the no nonsense utilitarian look of it. I realize opinions will vary.
I get so tired of pressing that button every time I get in because the automatic engine shutoff system is extremely annoying to me. Furthermore I suspect that on really hot days it won't let my AC cool down fast and on cold days it doesn't let my engine warm up as quickly as it otherwise could...
I'm interested but don't know when I can get down to pick them up. You're four hours from me. Any idea how much it would be to ship them to Charleston, WV?
My 2016 JK has more responsive steering but my JT isn't too bad. It's not great but I'm 99% sure it's an alignment issue. I used to compete in autocross for years and have done some sports car racing and played with alignment enough to know how it can transform a vehicle from good to bad or vice...
