Then there won't be a similar problem. No winch means no winch plate, which means no spacing or bending issues.
You may need to trim the bumper and/or Mojave skid plate to have them fit. Or get a rubi skid (the one that goes with the metal bumper).
As for the hooks, I like orange and use them...
I ordered one too, but haven't told my saga yet until I get it all buttoned up. The paint seemed overall fine to me, but I hit some edges where I could see metal on interior parts. Unlike the MP Concepts one, which apparently has such a bad coat that lightly dragging a finger nail leaves a mark...
You've got a Rubicon with 4.10s, you don't need to regear for 35s (typically 4.10-4.56). If you want 37s, most get 4.88, some stay on 4.10, some go further to 5.13. I don't hear of anyone really regearing to 4.56 for 35s, too small of a jump to bother (extra weight, towing withstanding).
You...
If it's a hard top, my non-negotiable must is a soft top. Going topless in 5 seconds makes the Jeep experience a daily joy.
After that, heavy duty rock sliders or soft tonneau.
And a couple scratches to get that out of the way and start having fun.
Anyone want to swap your '24 or newer Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator grille for my '23 Gladiator grille? As you may know, they changed designs in '24 and I would like that style.
Must include the front camera design (not swapping cameras), and be in Hydro Blue. May consider Willys black style if hydro...
I've been seeing XR wheels on marketplace on occasion. Other than the lift, did you have to do anything to make them work without rubbing at all, at full articulation and disconnect too?
How's the pokev outside the fenders?
Fyi for your accuracy, the pictures you're using show a Rubicon, which have higher fenders than yours.
For 35s, 2" is enough as long as you like it.
As for this 4 link system, I sometimes feel like we're all driving different trucks because I don't have any highway complaints. Rutted offroad...
Looks like a beast!
Good to hear. I don't want to lose the ability to gun it up a tall dune or dirt hill, so that was really my main hesitancy. Going slow up steep hills or other offroad scenarios I wouldn't be so worried about.
I live in relatively flat Michigan, so highway isn't bad...
On your trip to Moab, did you happen to go through CO or other mountainous roads to see how your 37s felt? Because on my trip, stock 33", I could definitely see why someone in CO wouldn't want 37s without a regear.
I see these on marketplace sometimes, usually overpriced for a takeoff. Other than a lift, did you do anything to make them work without rubbing at all, at full articulation and disconnect too?
I agree, this would be even better in 8+. However, don't they call 12.5" tires on 7.5" rims the "poorman's beadlock" for a reason? It's less likely to debead in aired down scenarios, crawling scenarios. Not as good in cornering debeads, and overall wear and performance though.
I had asked that, and it was verified by the three below that it does indeed work that way. At least for the rear frame side skid that is.
The front frame side isn't fully boxed. I think the axle side ones match the problem you describe, but have shims to take up some of the slack. Owners can...
Is it 8.8 perhaps?
If so, that's metric Class 8.8. Class 10.9 would be the better choice. Or Grade 8 if using SAE bolts.
Then again, they have their purpose and there's 4 of them, so pretty strong. Maybe find what other tow kits use.
As for the hooks themselves, Idk.
I never really looked at the fronts. I see shims, but not a spacer that would allow the force to apply to the control-arm/ mount directly.
@Pliny
For the rear frame side, it comes with a barrel spacer. I assumed this was to allow the actual bolting force to impact the mount/arm, and not just...
Facebook marketplace often has mojave take offs, especially if you live around a 4x4 shop. Cheap way to replace, and you'd have a set to rebuild when needed.
It's something I'd want eventually anyway, but if my stock were damaged under warranty I'd certainly want Jeep to take care of it instead.
Yeah, there needs to be more 11.5" tire options for 35+ tires.
Doesn't help to be hampered by stock 7.5" rims, always putting us at the bottom, or outside, of the recommended rim width range of most upgrades.
I know 12.5" are possible, and getting new rims is an option. It'd just be nice to...
You get clunking on all of them, or can't tell?
I don't have them, just in the market considering the rear frame side. And now wondering what would allow them to cause clunking. The spacers moving around, sliding on the mounts, or what. I imagine you don't mean arms are hitting in extreme...
