Here’s a picture of our JLR on 37s with stock wheels after installing an AEV lift. What’s nice is the tires stay tucked in with little to no rub on tight trails.
I’ve BFG KO2s on both my JTR and JLR and it’s like the Jeep engineers engineered both for 37s. Both are daily drivers. You’ll need a 2” lift and 4.11s but worth it!
I'm interested in the powertrain. With 375HP in the 4Xe JLUR, and its 0-60 six-second sprint, the GW has room for many more batteries and a bigger solid-state motor driving the transaxle.
I don't consider it an off-roader, as FCA made clear in the reveal, but a comfortable long-distance...
I don’t understand posts like yours. Seems obvious you didn’t do your homework before buying a JTR, having over $70k into your rig, and not understanding anything about my post, clearly shows me that you’re a defender of the mall crawler class.
Prove me wrong...
They fit larger 33.5 KO2s on the Defender, TFL calls this out. Doesn't matter though, you won't find many new Defenders out on the trail. It will be for the "wanna show my friends I spent $80k for a mall crawler" crowd.
Not knocking it for its capabilities when needed, but let's be honest, mall...
Not impressed by the “new” Defender. The “new” Bronco will have the same issues too. What are some of those issues?
One wheel in the air while the others jerk and stumble over the obstacles, ala IFS
Uncomfortable maxed out air-ride suspension
Limited after market support means costly...
You try moving your right side tires to the left side and vice versa, obviously. Unfortunately, the brand of tire you have doesn’t have a lot of folks using them but if you had Nittos they seem to cause the same issue.
Good luck finding a fix.
No need to regear. 4-Lo for when you need it in the rocks, 2-hi for the freeway on ramps, and 4-hi when you don’t need 4-Lo. I’m at 6,500’ for daily commute on 37s. Offroad + actually works well too.
