If you’re running oversized tires, like anything over 32”, especially with wheels over 18”, unless they’re forged, then you’re spinning an extra up to 200 lbs more, especially if 37-40” could add more unsprung weight that hurts more than just on scales. But robs power spinning up, plus slowing...
This has been just one of many reasons why I do not use any wheels over 17”, on any vehicles I own. I don’t use low profile tires because they are mostly designed for high speed handling on smooth pavement, with no real air down ability when off road especially in deep sand, then there’s the...
Sounds like you found the color and model you wanted. However I would check the records if possible. As it’s either a return lease with too high residual to buy out, or near the end of the warranty on a troubled gremlin plagued rig? For the price asked for that used Mojave, you could buy a new...
Actually the biggest difference between the two is the 4.0-1 transfer case in the Rubicon for the best controll for actual rock crawling. The Mojave comes with the? 2:75-1 ratio?
Ok right off the bat you’re planning to lift, so if that’s the case just get a Sport S, with the options you want and of course Max Tow, that is the only option that gets you the highest tow an payload, legally on the factory rating. The Mojave and Rubicon are unavailable with the Max Tow, plus...
Well in my experience the system will save gas and emissions, only IF the pause in idling is as long as the red lights cycle. Like at any typical plane 4 way intersection. But when they have dedicated left turn timed arrows, that then add another 45 seconds at each NSEW direction, adds another 3...
Just as you’re aware the Tow Package you can get with the Rubicon is not the same as Max Tow. You will have something like a 4,000 lbs trailer capacity, but most importantly the lower payload of around 1,044-1,100, just check the driver’s door jamb sticker for that rating. Good luck.
As a current owner of a ZR2, with a past Gladiator and looking to explore in the desert? Most definitely the Mojave! Or save $10-$12k a just get a Willys.
For wheels there’s only two things I take into consideration besides NO POKE on my vehicles! They are weight and strength. To get both you need forged wheels that are very expensive but light and strong, not exactly stronger than steel but lighter. Plus no wheels over 15,16 or 17” has any...
Thanks for taking the time to put together a helpful video. But probably due to time constraints to add to the video, but I would have washed and vacuumed the vehicle first, plus after I got the older, cheaper, but arguably better coverage and seeing how good the floors look underneath them...
OMG! $20.00!!!! For two $.99 pieces of foam with a slot cut through to fit over the seat belt buckle? Are you kidding me? That’s where I place my micro fiber dusting rags, so they are handily available when needed!
One of the worst things you can do is overfill with gas. Once it’s full and clicks off, don’t try to round it off more than.2 gal. What can happen is you add so much more gas you end up contaminating the evaporation pollution control system, that’s designed to let the system breath without...
My 2024 Sport S came with all LED except for the headlights. But I’ve since replaced with MORIMOTO TWO STROKE 3.0, H13, that are pricy for LED at $225 pr. But go in without removing the grill, just the airbox. They have the resistors built in, everything fits inside the housing. The bulbs have a...
. I’m sorry to tell you that does not “lock in “ any gear, when you slow down at all the trans will still downshift when more power is needed. The one thing it will do, like if you leave it in manual in any gear lower than 8th the trans will not upshift from that gear on. Especially when using...
Oh yea we have some ridiculously long red light cycles, one I’ve timed nearby taking a left on a local 4 lane with dedicated left turn with reg or green arrow, or right turn anytime it’s clear. That one has like six light cycles! The worst part is that left green arrow only lets maybe 5 cars in...
