I have ones on front too.
Yeah sounds about right. Between front mud flaps and overland side steps keeps most of the mud, rocks and gunk off. At over 50 I'm starting to like side steps on some vehicles. A guy who has his truck lifted to stupid level he talked me into going with him to look...
I try to change it when 20% or less oil life by the dash gauge, some have been lower. To add much of it is towing trailers too. One is a over-built utility trailer that is very H.D. for its size made by company that makes commercial work trailers to haul zero turn mowers and like equipment...
I've read / skimmed though 3 pages of respondents. So I'm not trying to piss in anyone's wheaties but forewarned.
Yeah a 8k or 9k winch is capable of recovering a JT and the "Old standard of 1.5 times weight of" is fully within a 8k or 9k winch ability. But, a 10k or 12k isn't as much...
With my 90XJ I've been in water about 4 ft deep and no problems with keeping it running, not good for wiring inside. Rear diff flooded and fuel tank got water in it. The difference and tank wouldn't have if I known guys had decided to run their mud buggies down the creek and rutted it out...
I thought I'd drop a oil analysis report on a JT that has a few miles on it using Valvoline 0W-20 with fairly consistent oil changes. I was looking for a certain thread here about life cycle of 3.6 failures, oil type used ect. I have posted on but not found. So then here is a history for a...
Not a full tilt one but having a wide track full floating rear axle with the limited slip or locker with 4:56 gears, Rubicon tires & rims or "33s or35s AT load range E tires" for the "Maxim-Tow" package could sway some in possibly. I'm not in the market though. Changes with engine could be a...
Hmm, this reminds me of renting a pickup truck to tow a few of my Jeeps from Savanna GA. to Alabama. Brand new pickup truck 4x4 and car trailer with pickup of it in GA. A slightly "fuzzy" rental agreement. "I got clarification on towing" before leaving, but no 2" receiver hitch box. So hunting...
Well my "TJ" is a Unlimited with the 6 speed M.T. and basically same one that in JK's and JL's first gear isn't really used unless tire size changed or some road conditions. Some of the "re-gear" crowd wants to get back some of the mpgs and why some change gears. I definitely noticed the change...
That was for temporary duties not leave. In one month I was in over 5 states and multiple countries. Some serious frequent flyer miles at times. :like:
With all the drama likely on warranty service needed I'm in the OEM plan. Even with it some service clowns try to deny service. My experience was early this year before mine hit 100000 miles. The ass clown service guy was trying to weasel out of it starting with "I've got to verify your extended...
I was looking there before I got the one I have. I liked the aluminum shell version but decided on the pop up box shaped one. Worked out the order ect ect. Then came the shipping and they tried to change shipping costs, port, and port fees on and on shenanigans. I did briefly consider ordering...
My friend's wife works as a supervisor at a car plant. Her training was inspection for flaws during assembly at all steps. They have a short time limit to inspect, find and fix minor mistakes or flag vehicle with major problems to be pulled out of line. It was a 9 month training program. She was...
Not a chance I'd run without them either I'm in N. AL. To much crap getting launched already from my tires, actually why I swapped for the OEM running boards too. Cuts down tires throwing crap all over my Gladiator beating the paint off. The chipped paint on my Wrangler is bad enough.
If you...
I'm with BennyD on this, going from 4:10 to 4:56 isn't worth the money and time (I might question even 4:88). My passed experience is my XJ it started with 3:54/55 gears (27-29" tires)and I re-geared to 4:56 (33-35" tires) according to the gear swap calculator I should have done 4:10 the 4:56...
I went 3 in a week with my Wrangler I gave up after that. Road debris on 565 in Huntsville AL.
Back to the thread, your vehicle insurance company can be a lifesaver and or C.C. covers some. If I'm renting one for personal use I'll foot the rental insurance for damage, a bad experience with a...
Load rating isn't going to change up but down, with that out of the way. It will depend, it seems you have used about 700-800 lbs of capacity up. A SWAG there, mine is a Max-Tow package. I hauled a few loads of concrete in bags 800-1200 lbs it didn't seem like it was there, now with topper...
Big brother is watching you. :giggle:
Your lucky to be where you are then, on Google maps always working, within 3-4 miles of my place I can lose signal and phone coverage even. That's in Alabama, in multiple locations here I've seen the screen just turn blank when driving and no signal or...
