An old album title, Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death, describes the consumer. Thieves will always be able to find a way to clone or create a fob's authentication matching the vehicle, otherwise fob replacements be dealership only. Maybe require the sidewinder key, the one already in the...

And if you never go running on the desert, meh, about the needed upgrades to keep up with a Mojave trim. Pick the tool for the jobs you expect.

The solo adventure is part of why I went with Rubicon in 2024. If there is sufficient mud or slick snow to require both axles locked or winching, which would I rather do, by myself? Neither is likely to be needed, but IF...

It seems to happen more often when the fuel gauge, after automatically stopping the nozzle, shows about 2 gallons short of full, +/- 1/8 of a tank short. Gurgling is heard at the filler. For those with $2 or $3 gas, rounding up might be nearly a half gallon. For us with $5 gas means not event...

True! Always looking for a reason!

Yup, sometimes a higher gear, and less torque to the rubber, = higher traction/less slipping. In manual or automatic 2WD in slippery conditions, I've done many second gear starts from a dead stop, RW drive and FW drive.

I test every 4-8 weeks or so since the last time 4H was used. This is on loose sand and dirt, going straight, and often will "use" the lockers and sway bar disco just to make sure everything is functional.

I would think that they would have to fix it. When at the higher pressure, the engine should also be using the higher valve lift, when under 3k RPM.

Agree on no phone required, which is why it wins for me over the Curt device, but what will be the RF technology between the two devices? The advertisement only mentions the that two devices are paired at the factory. I assume BT, since that is cheap and easy, but, it maybe something else.

That is interesting. It is dependent upon radio, assuming BT, which should be fine for the few feet of distance. But, it is not dependent upon Android/iOS + app, and then wanting to do something else with the phone.

That sounds very much like the situation I had. "Cross threaded" might not the correct wording. Maybe the cause is something with how the cap is placed on the bottle before tightening, that results in it not "locking" as described by @g2020. The bad/loose seal happened the second time I...

The cap is really, really, easy to cross-thread. It feels like it is on tight, and looks it correct, but it ain't right. The only clue that it is on incorrectly to me is that there are more turns to "tight" when it is cross-threaded.

Eh, lots of helicopters in the LA area, including the news helicopters. Even back in the 80s, LAPD would just back off once the helicopter was following. The thief would slow down and drive normally, and eventually get boxed in. News helicopters have helped the cops too. The exception to...

If you need less likelihood of hydroplaning instead of more flotation, go with the 255s. If you like how load C feels, stay with C. If you want a firmer ride, or less sidewall lean, or less bounce, go to D or E. Wider may = more likely to hydroplane, since there is more area, and more water...

Yeah, we do not know all of the story, but PIT might not have been required when the JT was running in the low 90s MPH on the highway. If I was the owner of the truck, generator, and other items, I would have rather they just let it run out of gas What MPG does a JT get at +90 MPH? But, there...

Same here, no burps for months, then one yesterday. Fuel gauge showed the tank was not full, about 1/16 below full. It is like there is an air pocket in the hose connecting to the tank, a similar sound (glug, burp) and effect of using a gas can without opening the vent.

Yup.

A factor may be are you talking just oil change, or oil change and tire rotation? If you are using them (dealer/Jeep Wave) to change the oil and rotate tires, every 5k miles is a good idea. Tires are not cheap, and who knows, they might find something getting loose or otherwise help you out...

Interesting opinions on this thread... which is cool, and helps understand the "why" behind the choices. "Why" in this case is the smart decision for each person's usage. Getting back to the OP's Q: Yes, you will notice going from C to E, on and off road, even when dropping the PSI to match...

Stock '23 JTR, I went with Yokohama Geolandar A/T XD, which are load E. At the time, they were also around $60 less per tire compared to the KOs. They are also lighter than the stock WildPeaks. The stock WildPeaks were always too bouncy for me, and I wanted a tougher sidewall. Yoko also had...
