Great point and I thought about that too (guessing you meant 12.5s). I'm sure he'd have different results with a wider wheel. I thought the test was still good since many people do that very thing (new tires, factory/same rims). Still, I even checked comments for that and figured I'd let it...

I agree with that. When I used to take my built Jeeps to Pismo Beach, I'd air down considerably. It made a huge difference and was a heckuva lot of fun! Too bad Pismo is closed to motor vehicles now. I think that's a trend in lots of places...

That was a mild surprise for me too, but the explanation is valid. I think the generalization that you get a longer patch on airing down follows conventional wisdom. He also explained that the special lateral flexing unique to some tires and specifically the BFG allowed a bigger flex/patch for...

Yes, that is correct -- but is distinctly different from the past Torsen / worm-drive type diff options available in the past for rear axles (and seems to be available in some trims still for the rear I believe). The Mojave uses a locking rear and open front diff. Electronics aside, it is just...

This is a great video. He uses excellent control and measurement techniques to produce solid data. I'm a fan. While I don't think my 35x11.5 Nitto Trail Grapplers are quite "pizza cutters" I appreciate the logic used here and I think along the same lines, but for slightly different reasons...

Sequential indicators too…

A quick update: The fender lights arrived yesterday and I installed them right away. It took me a LOT longer than expected. Naturally, it would be easier the "next time". The adhesive on the top of the halogen light housing makes a very strong seal (at least it did on mine). Body trim...

That's a really nice testimonial and I appreciate it. Nice rig!

Thanks, seems just a matter of getting the liner out of the way. Like you said, easy installation. It doesn't seem like it would be much harder than simply changing the bulbs -- which was my comparison point here. These full replacement units cost about the same as the higher output LED...

I just ordered a set of the "wide 6-pin (halogen factory)" LED replacement turn signals. I did not see other threads on this, and @Minty JL got me there with his suggestion of the fender chop kit from Infinite Offroad. I don't think I'm quite ready to chop my fenders (just running 35s) and...

Thank you and good to know! Can you comment on differences with the Rugged Ridge kit? They look similar in the wide photos. I'm guessing those Infinite Off Road units were out first?

Special thanks to @Minty JL for the hookup with the OEM LED headlights and fast shipping. These only took a few minutes to install. The longest part was figuring out how to get the halo "signature" enabled with Jscan. Works great! Now I just need some LED fender lights and think I may go the...

Okay... I re-enabled ESS (both options) and reset the ECU. Sure enough, that's it. Open the hood while the alarm is armed and it sets off the horns. Those are louder than I remember. ;) While it isn't a factory default for hood monitoring/detection, I really like that feature. I suppose I...

Thank you. I used Jscan to disable ESS by toggling the values for both ESS menu display and ESS active (to inactive). What made me think about ESS here is that with my JL, I know that ESS would not function if you disabled the hood sensor physically (i.e., removed one of the plungers). I...

On my Gladiator, I can see that Jscan values for VTA System and VTA Hood Ajar/Monitoring are active/on but does not seem to ever trigger the alarm when opening the hood without first deactivating the system. I can simply open the hood and the vehicle remains silent. It was my understanding...

Here’s a photo of the mounted driving lights. I’ve since played with aiming them more outboard (say 10 deg off center) and think I prefer that. Great pattern and coverage and this has made a big difference in night driving in the rural desert. The single bolt mounts are very stable and I can...

Yes, that's nice! I saw that...and figured that was how they did their bypass. I might grab those to keep it looking factory.

On a related note, anyone here ever try the disablement for x number of starts (JSCAN)? I could see that being useful on an off-road trip with lots of stops and starts, but was hoping the arbitrary # could be higher (99 or FF!). I think the highest I saw in there was five. I'm coming from...

Thank you, I appreciate that. I don't use FB but expect that's a fairly common request. I just might get another Tazer. Unless things have changed, it appeared to use a timer and send a pulse to toggle the function (effectively a "press" of the button). I noticed that because it would...

Ah! So my 2018 JL Wrangler did not have the Secure Gateway (surprised most) and just used the OBD port without the bypass... Since this is new to me, I thought the OBD port was rendered inoperative with the bypass cable. It is not? That is good news... ...except I sold my TAZR and would...
