  1. I’m calling BULL

    What wheels and tires did you go with? Do you know the weights?
  2. Gen-Y Glyder hitch

    Glad you are happy with your hitch, but you should really consider a weight-distribution setup if you are towing anything significant (especially on bumpy roads). Far safer and an overall more enjoyable ride. I personally use an Anderson style hitch when towing a 4k lb travel trailer and it...
  3. I’m calling BULL

    I lost a few MPG's putting on 35's (diesel rubi). And yes, I can tell the difference under acceleration and braking. It's not a big difference, but it's not zero. How much of a difference will depend on the weight of the wheels and tires you go with. I'm not sure what my stock 33" rubi wheels...
  4. So, what is everybody towing?

    I could likely get a few more MPG's if I were better at green gassing it. I start out ok, but sooner or later my foot gets heavy again :) I'm not sure what the weight differences are between our rigs, but I lost a few MPG's when I added the 35" Nitto's and wheels so maybe that's it? I've never...
  5. So, what is everybody towing?

    Forest River e-pro e20bhs. Bunkhouse edition has 2 small bunks in back corner with an easy access toy/gear door. You can lift the bottom bunk up and stow bikes, gear or whatever. We converted the bottom bunk to a kennel for our doggo. The trailer is about 4k lbs I would guess loaded up fora...
  6. 6 X 6 Gladiator!!!!

    Is this just for looks or something? Because unless they have increased the towing capacity (which seems to be limited by cooling and not engine size), all this would do is: reduce your towing capacity by however much all that weighs and dramatically reduced your off-road capabilities. If it's...
  7. Simply The Best spring sale!!

    I'd love a color matched Sunrider for my white hardtop. Is that in the works?
  8. GVWR Poorly Engineered?

    I'm guessing this is more about cooling (maybe suspension/geometry too) than what the engine is capable of. The RAM 1500 ecodiesel (same engine as my ecodeisel rubi from my understanding) has a 12,560lb rating and both weigh roughly the same.
  9. Towing Package Confusion

    Also, Diesel Rubi's max tow is 6500. I'm assuming because of the extra weight from the engine and cooling. And from experience, I highly advise a weight-distribution hitch and brake controller on anything over 2.5-3k pounds. It makes a world of difference. In fact, my ecodiesel rubi is far...
  10. Trailer Brake Controller

    All I can say is I've used mine many times without issue and love it.
  11. Trailer Brake Controller

    CURT 51180 Echo Mobile Electric Trailer Brake Controller with Bluetooth works great! Portable, works even if you don't connect your phone, and no installation. Highly recommend. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JQ99SDD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  12. Motor Trend's Full Overview (12/8/2020) is "Scary" (not good)

    Yeah, this article was garbage. No weight distribution (read the owner's manual) and not even using a brake controller. I tow a 22' ~4k lb travel trailer (single axle) with an eco diesel rubi jt, and while it tows just fine on smooth roads, it's not the most relaxing when things get rough...
  13. So why do people like ground tents?

    I like the idea of RTTs, but between the cost, weight, and the fact that a lot of camping sites, especially back-county sites, have the parking area away from the camping area. Not that it matters to me because as I've gotten older and softer, I now tow my house travel-trailer with me wherever I go.
  14. Warn Epic Wheels?

    They are hub centric.
  15. Rubicon Diesel Frakenlifts?

    So as you know, the only (that I know of) dedicated lift kits for the JT diesel is from Mopar. But I, like many others, would rather spend a few extra dollars and get something a bit better. I stopped by my local "Extreme Outfitters" off-road shop but was told that they would not do anything but...
  16. Warn Epic Wheels?

    Warn Epic 17x8.5 Black Jackhammer Wheels (0 offset), wrapped with 35"x12.5xR17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers with no lift. I'll try to get better pics of the wheels in the sun next time I am out.
  17. TPMS reset

    Make sure you are not storing your old wheels with the previous TMPS sensors too close to your truck, like in the garage for example. They may still try to pick them up each time you leave/come home.
  18. BRIGHT WHITE Gladiator JT Club

    Got my new shoes put on today. Warn Epic 17x8.5 Jackhammer Wheels (0 offset), wrapped with 35"x12.5xR17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers with no lift.
  19. SHOW ME YOUR WHEELS!
