The problem with these type of parts is where they are located.
You can have a professional powder coating done and it still gets rusted. It takes just one rock to fly up and chip it deep enough to allow moisture to get to the metal.
Better powder coating might be more resilient, but...
I just installed rancho 1.5" front springs on my sport S. They added about 2" to the front so far. I expect them to settle a bit. Leveled the truck nicely.
Clayton makes a 1/2" spring designed for diesels to prevent bottoming out. It has a higher spring rate but same length as stock. Might be...
Welp, front is installed! After a fun 8 hours! Why it took so long I dunno, first time taking a jeep apart so I was "cautious".
Bought 6 ton jack stands and set them to 21" high. Unbolted the track bar and all the wires/hoses. Loosened control arms. Axle dropped right down and OEM springs came...
Just get out on the trails. Don't be afraid to get out of the truck and walk the obstacle. As your walking the obstacle, picture your tires and where you want them go.
This helps get an idea of everything before you drive on it.
After awhile your build up that experience and can tackle the...
Main reason the springs and other components were 50% off.
Also, I have no plans to go above my 33" tire. I am just looking for slight clearance increase and a bit more up/down travel. Which the rancho springs will provide as they are longer springs and around the same rate as stock. Coupled...
Unfortunately, the coils and other components are back up to full price ($200). But here's the link for them. The RSO track bar is still a bit cheaper though.

I just add everything to a list on Amazon and check it periodically. Random stuff goes on 10-40% off all the...
Using Various memorial Day deals and random amazon gift cards I pieced together a little lift/leveling kit.
Front coils - Rancho 1.5"
Front spacer- .5" teraflex
Front sway bar - Rancho end links for 2" lift.
Front shocks- Eibach for 2" lift.
Front Track Bar - RSO forged adjustable.
Front...
Rust-Oleum truck bed liner.
I bought some used Rubicon rock rails. Scuffed, sprayed rust converter, then top coat with the bed liner.
Looks almost identical to the OEM finish. Easy to touch up and cheap.
Just make sure to treat or remove any surface rust.
LEDs don't make enough heat. So Snow/ice/sleet often freezes onto the housing.
It's one reason why I chose the base halogens. Less likely to freeze over.
Heaters should be standard per DOT laws
Couldn't pass up Discount Tire black Friday deals on these Cooper Rugged Treks. 285/70/17 SL.
Had them marked down to $241+ $80 online discount + $75 Cooper rebate. $203 a tire. Went with the SL version. But it's built more like a C load. Should do fine for the 10x a year I go on moderate...
If I had to take a guess. The rear springs are Rubicon X and Mojave X dependent.
Rubicon probably has higher rate springs for towing capacity?
No facts to back that up just spit balling.
I have read through every thread on here about a 295/70/17 and 285/75/17 fitting on a stock Sport S (NOT MAX TOW) with stock wheels.
Will either of the sizes fit without rubbing the lower control arm?
Many people posted their max tow models as examples saying they fit or their truck with...
Voluntary means, if it breaks you won't crash and die, so it's up to you if you want to go through the hassle of getting it replaced.
Usually for these type of recalls, you will wait until the part malfunctions, then just get it fixed for free. The part has to be made available for the "service...
MSRP, interest rates, and the fact it's only 4 years old are all contributing to its slumped sales.
In order to have continued increase in sales, you need to steal from the other market share. Which would be Tacoma, Frontier, Colorado, and Ranger demographics.
Colorado and Tacoma recently...
Yeah, I'm going to assume, based on all the additions and upgrades on the 2024, putting them on a 2020-2023 Sport will probably be a more consistent +1" and less of the 1/2" to 1" won't know until you try game.
Especially since there seems to be a consistent spring pair with the Rubicon X and...
For anyone that's wondering
Front part # for both coils is
68607513AB
And both rear coils are
68607540AA
They won't be for sale as parts until Mid July.
From what I have found the front coils are the same for 2024 Rubicon X and Mojave X. That part number should be the highest rated OEM...
Hey everyone?
I have opportunity to buy 2024 Rubicon X JT coils. Obviously the part numbers are completely different.
So can't confirm if 2024 coils should work on a 2023. I believe nothing has changed but just want to confrim.
