I'm a member of Cal4Wheel and Contra Costa Jeepers. Feel free to hit me up with a private message so we don't clog up the public forum.

I see you're in NorCal. The specific America's Tire I use is the store in Concord. They're very experienced with these Icon wheels because several of my friends also have them on their Jeeps and Raptors, and all of them use this store. As for tires, I felt morally justified in buying Yokohama...

I have the Bluetti 560 watt DC-DC charger. I use it to charge my Anker Solix C1000X battery box. They work awesome together, and the charger should work well with your Jackery.

One of my friends had a set of 37's on one of his Jeeps, and they were the fastest-wearing and most uneven-wearing tires any of us had ever seen. The tread started to immediately get cupped and feathered, and were louder than a set of Mud Grapplers or Boggers. They seemed to perform decently...

I can confirm that America's Tire had no problem installing mine, which I'd sourced from Poly Performance. They were a little concerned about the "curb damage" the last time I brought the Jeep in for tire service. :CWL: Here are 2 of my wheels, showing how well the thick bead area shrugs off...

I am a rockcrawler and I've had them since 2022. They have lots of rock rash but have performed as expected, aired down to 7psi in the sand dunes and 4psi in the snow, never once burped any air or had any problems with the O-rings leaking. I really do think that these wheels are the best thing...

Same here, I installed the longest and widest RockBlokz because my 37's throw quite a rooster tail of water, snow, rocks, etc. all over my travel trailer (and other cars following behind me) without them. I pull them off when I'm rockcrawling, but I've never needed to remove them on snow runs...

One our Jeep club's snow runs, the Jeep with the regular Toyo R/T (not the R/T Trail or R/T Pro) is consistently the worst-performing Jeep. The regular R/T's are simply awful in the snow. I hope that the two new R/T's will do better.

That's good to know, even though it's bad news.

The next time you watch a traction-control-only vehicle attempt the Rubicon Trail, report back to us on how much wheelspin you observe. I'm not talking about a flat road with a little snow on it. That's easy for a traction control system to cope with because there's so little ground torque to...

No. I'm talking about clutch based limited slip diffs. They're not very effective at limiting slip, and they wear out really fast when used off-road. Worm gear (Torsen type) LSDs are the ones that work decently and which last the life of the vehicle.

Why quibble? We're making the same point, but I was trying to simplify it so people would understand the difference. With a fully locked 4WD with 1 tire on asphalt and the other 3 on ice, only that 1 wheel with a tire providing any traction is having any effectiveness in moving the vehicle...

I was trying to simplify the explanation. You're saying exactly what I was trying to convey. Both wheels on an open diff axle are getting the same torque, but only 1 (the one that's spinning) has any power. The one on ice is absolutely worthless, and because the open diff can't redirect any...

This video (and many similar ones) incorrectly describe torque distribution percentages in the various drive modes. It drives me nuts. The 50%/50% torque distribution f/r is only under ideal circumstances where all 4 tires have equal traction. Same with the 25%/25%/25%/25% torque distribution...

Can you tell if it has full-depth sipes? The Kanati Trail Hog does great until around 50% tread depth, at which point its sipes are gone and the tire's performance degrades precipitously.

I wish they made the A/T Pro in a 37x12.50R17 size.

I cut a hole and installed a 175a Anderson connector in my bed with a 3D-printed mount and weather cover I bought from Etsy. Power is routed direct from the battery with 00 welding wire and a 150a circuit breaker. I use it to power my 2000w inverter, charge my aux battery boxes, run my...

Everyone is already totally aware of the LP6's performance and functions. What we don't know yet is what people's firsthand experiences have been like with the Sylvania lights.

It's important to buy the right tires for your application. Too many people simply buy tires based on looks and then wonder why they aren't happy with their vehicle's performance. Tires play one of - if not the - most important role in how a vehicle rides, drives, and survives. With that...

Imagine how bad the damage would have been if you'd had a lesser tire.
