I missed the Eco-D…= full width axles👍🏻

Corrected in original post…thx

Ouch. @Free2roam, does your rig have the max tow package with full width axles?

I’m on the cusp of landing a smoking deal on a set of icon rebound pros which are a 8.5x17 -6 mm offset, which will wear 37x12.5 trail grapplers. This is really a little wider than I wanted to go, but the car savings would cover most if not all of the $$$ for a set of upgraded ball joints. Any...

Finally finally the planets aligned and promised myself I’d do something for me. I dropped what I was doing (work…always work…) this morning and gave the fella’s a call at Clayton. One reasonable dent later in the ‘ol’ account and I got them to agree to have it delivered the week of the 6th...

Sometimes that’s just enough to keep your both from getting stuck

Just look at the price of a new Ranger raptor. Granted it’s not a complete side-by-side comparison and a Rubicon versus the raptor. Some have standard parts while the others have other standard parts but the price on a base which is well optioned is 56 to 58 with a ton more power. When I option...

I bet that’s a sign of relief for the dealers so they can mark up MSRP even higher… you know, the old market adjustment quackery…

Aaahhh…the ‘ol skip shift witchcraft. Never thought of using it on the German tranny.

Why do you always run in manual mode? Just preference?

Love it. Just be sure not to leave dried mud on them for long or they’ll stain says my fenders…lol

For those that have not done this mod yet and even for those that have you may consider a little trick I learned with my 99 TJ. When I had the soft top on, and I had the air conditioner on recirculate, it would suck the windows in and keep the vinyl windows from buffering in the wind. The...

Higher mileage also has a direct result with road elevation changes and actually the wind or the direction the wind is blowing or even a breeze. Sounds stupid, but it’s very true. I can also run about 50 yards behind a semi be safe from any rocks and set my cruise to match his speed at about...

Since 1991 or so, I always see a drop in performance including mileage in the winter months with winterized fuel. It’s a thing. This has been in semi’s all the way down to a 1.9L vw diesel. Make sure you’re airing your tires back up when the temp drops. I see a fluctuation of as much as...

Lift…still haven’t decided between the 2.5-3.5 Clayton overland…even after 3 years. Tires…was really thinking cooper STT Pro’s, but Direct tire has them listed as discontinued. May go with trail grapplers.

How are the new tires!

For the record, Discount tire isn’t a tire manufacturers. They sell tires. As expensive as most of the tires are, most would like to keep them as long as possible. Put a tire on a rim that’s too narrow can cause it to pull the corners down causing odd wear. don’t get me wrong I like...

Go to Harbor freight get a floor jack and some jack stands. You probably already have the tools needed in your garage. If you don’t pick up a set while you’re at Harbor freight. Don’t forget the torque wrench that goes up to 250 pound feet.. Watch a handful of install videos for Clayton...

8.5’s will help save the rims. It’s the minimum recommended wheel width by most tire manufacturers for a 12.5” tire.

I just saw on Discount tire last night that the Cooper STT Pro’s are on sale for $362.
