Granted mine are smaller (315/70), but I can notice a ride difference between 37 psi and 35 psi. Might have something to do with my setup though (Alu-Cab and full-size spare).
37-39 psi feels firm/planted. Getting down around 35 psi is at the point where mine start to feel “squishy” (how I’d...
Have you tried running different air pressure in them? I think I’d look at the tire pressure, check that the axles are centered (only 2.5” of lift, but you never know), and check out the steering, as mentioned above.
I didn’t see it mentioned above, but what load rating are your tires? If...
Build year of your JT and the donor Wrangler? If there’s a mismatch (see discussion regarding build year above), that could explain why they’re not working properly.
You shouldn’t have to do anything to program them. Just install them and go.
At the end of the day, mine looks so damn good (lol) that if I run a cost benefit analysis, the tires arent going anywhere. The way I’d put it…I’ll hang onto the JTR take-offs in case I decide to tow a travel trailer anytime soon (before I get around to re-gearing).
As you joked…it’s definitely...
I can REALLY tell the difference with an Alu-Cab (light one) and 315/70’s, but some folks don’t seem to notice it at that size.
If you weigh a buck-fifty, don’t tow or haul, and don’t have a camper shell, you’ll probably be happy with 35’s.
Keep in mind that this is the internets…folks could...
Yes. Some models have brackets to mount the cover to the bed rail.
The brackets (four in the case of the one I had) slide in the tracks and the cover mounts to that.
For an example of how it works, see the illustration on page 4. ‘All other cargo management equipped trucks’...
Not very well, apparently. They threw the diesel fuel economy in there, for whatever reason (it angles at the desired conclusion…Gladiator is mo’ beta).
I think it would be more relevant (these days) to look at trucks in terms of mid-size, full-size (traditional half-ton badged trucks), and super-duty/heavy-duty.
The JT is a mid-size truck with a payload capacity that’s marginally better than my old Subaru Outback. It’s a blast to drive and...
Personally…I’d want a matching spare. I went to that expense when I just bought new wheels and tires, because that’s what I wanted.
You’ve got to do what’s right for you though.
If you don’t have storage space and/or you need to repurpose the funds that the extra wheel would bring, sell it.
See Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist for a set of take-offs with low miles. Would be a LOT cheaper than new.
That’s why I’m hanging onto mine. I don’t want to pretty much give them away. A spare set of wheels and tires is worth more to me than the x < $1,000 I could get for all five tires...
If you don’t want it, unload it. That being said, If you decide at some point to unload those wheels, you may have an issue doing so without the full set (five).
Personally, I’d hang onto it, but you do you.
I’ve been keeping an eye out, but I can’t say that I’ve seen them go on sale. I ended up just going with the ARB single in the tackle box looking thing. It’ll work for me (315/70’s).
I get that from a “rough draft” standpoint, but I can’t imagine someone selling that and not posting high resolution pictures to indicate just how “home built” they appear.
