I always thought those rubber plugs only kept mud/sand/wet inside the hitch. Since they mount from the back, they act to trap anything that gets in there while you’re driving forward.
Another aid in this battle and smells woodsy:

Also have heard people positioning their 5th sensor in the spare such that’s closest to the license plate when tucked under the bed, to keep it further away from the actual wheel sensors.
I just went through this dilemma myself. It required a hard look in the mirror and some painful truth pills to swallow.
1. you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Heavier tires will absolutely affect MPG and driveability. No one can tell you whether you NOW think your truck is peppy or a dog...
Sorry to hear brother.
For others that chose Rusty’s, I was doing the install on my own and didn’t want to take any chances on the control arms shifting when I removed the bolt. I stopped by the local hardware store and picked up a generic 4 inch bolt the same diameter as the control arm bolt...
In my last Subaru, I cut a horizontal slit in the trim around the center console, in the passenger footwell a couple of inches above where it meets the carpet. Then slipped the flap part of a 32oz Velcro Nalgene sleeve/holder through the slit and then re-attach the Velcro once it slipped out the...

I’m aiming for 7500 interval, currently at around 7k miles myself, showing 30% life. The oil life indicator is almost certainly not linear. Typically I’d have no trouble with a 10k interval with synthetic oil, but 7500 looks more realistic with the Jeep. Going to do my own oil changes, got a...
Be mindful of the fact that the usb port in the console is flaky for many people , me included. I have the cplay2air mentioned above and it would drop connection every few minutes when plugged in the port inside the center console, yet is flawless when plugged into the one on the center stack
Now that the aluminum engine skid from quadratec is back in stock, I ordered mine. I also want to add a fumoto oil pan valve for easier oil changes. Wondering if anyone has installed the long nipple version of the F106 valve and if there is still room above the skid to accommodate the long...
