I’m considering getting a set of JLR takeoffs on Craigslist with brand new BFG KO2s for my JTR.
Main reason is it’s a good price ($1100-1200) for 5 wheels with tires and TPMS. Allows me to do a 5-wheel rotation.
Most JT takeoffs are asking the same or even more but with a steel spare.
I...
Ooo I like the pricing. I'm wondering if it's essentially plug-and-play with a Tazer session.
Anyone confirm if there is a plug on the harness just waiting for a camera? Does it require an options, like LED lighting?
I’m regretting the M/T selection on my order and looking to trade for A/T.
I have the standard Rubicon wheels, but don’t mind the upgraded wheels, but not looking to add cash on top of the swap.
I haven’t taken delivery yet so tires will be as new as reasonable. Looking for near brand-new...
I’m not sure on pricing since it wasn’t really an option as I had already selected Max Tow. I imagine they would be identical to the Overland color-matched fender flares.
FYI for those who may be in the fence with Sport S vs Overland/Rubicon due to available options:
Just put in an order for a Sport S with Rob at Courtesy. To my surprise, he was able to add the 8.4” + Alpine for $1695 (MSRP). This is only *in addition* the “Technology Group” for $995 (MSRP)...
Yeah, probably find Rubicon takeoffs lol. Suspension, wheel/tires, metal bumper, rock rails. Would these items reduce capacity based on the added weight? I guess a good question is how much more do these let’s weigh and contribute to the Rubicon’s reduced payload vs the other components...
Totally agree. Since I’m planning on getting a 4-person RTT, I just want to be sure I’m covering all the bases. The truck will probably be used by my renters in paved campgrounds and not true overlanding since off-road travel is also prohibited on Turo.
I’m planning on putting this in Turo to rent our, no towing allowed on the platform.
My thoughts exactly. With the rig going on Turo, I want to make sure I am reducing risk as much as possible and not liable for any issues that may arise from exceeding the legal payload or GVWR.
I do plan on...
Yeah, “Overand” lol.
I’ve always been overly analytical and this build won’t be any different. Thanks for being another voice of reason. I knew Sport S Max Tow was the way to go, just needed some validation :)
I’m going crazy here, back and forth between Sport S Max Tow and Rubicon for an overlanding rig. RTT, rack/canopy, drawer system, etc, etc.
My heart (+another body part) is telling me Rubicon, but my brain is telling me 1200lbs payload is not enough. Sport S Max Tow with its 1600lbs, >3/4 ton...
