Just because a tire is E rated doesn't necessarily make it stiff. The stiffness can vary based on the tire and/or manufacturer and, as seen in the video, even 2 of the 'same' tire but different sizes can have different stiffness. I'm running 255/85R17 Baja Boss ATs (E rated) on my 2-door JKR...

Some people just like to argue opinions on the internet. I think there are people who simply enjoy the back-and-forth internet 'sparring'. I threw in that work comment (my opinion) to see if you'd bite, and you did. It's all good though, you can't take any of this online stuff personally...

Arguing an opinion on the internet is almost always going to go all sideways. It usually goes better if you are correcting a factual mistake and can provide verification of the fact. Like is often said, you need to know what fights to pick. Instead of arguing, try stating your opinion and let...

FREE to a good home, picked up in Windsor, CT. I have a like new BF Goodrich KM2 in size 255/80R17. I say "like new" because it has a date code of 46th week of 2014, and it has maybe 25 miles on it. I only ran it long enough to determine the tire & balance was good before mounting it as my...

^^ There is no doubt that AEV is limiting their liability by advising not to powder coat their wheels. But, with that said, I'm not sure that you could find a powder coater that will provide a written guarantee that the powder coating process has no impact whatsoever on your aluminum alloy wheels.

This is from the AEV website: Please note: As a general safety precaution, AEV does not recommend powder coating aluminum wheels. The heat range and duration of the powder coating process may overlap the heat treating and aging of cast or forged aluminum wheels. For this reason, powder coated...

If you look at the way the factory Tru-Lok ELD is made, it is my understanding that the spider gears & side gears are made with a significant amount of play (backlash) to allow for quicker/easier engagement of the dog clutch teeth when you select the 'lock' function. There is also quite a bit of...

That's a good question. I wonder if it has anything to do with the shape of the Mojave hood and potential stamping/manufacturing limitations with aluminum.

That's great, but not true at all. Just because it's on the interweb doesn't make it fact. I can tell you from first-hand experience that the lower offset is 100% not needed for shock clearance.

The Mojave does not need any extra clearance for the shocks. I can only assume that the different offset was to increase track width. I run JL Rubicon wheels & tires on my Mojave in the winter, and there is still plenty of clearance to the shocks.

I'm running the Mopar "CAI" with the factory air filter for exactly that reason - I've never liked the 'high-flow' type filters (either oiled or dry). A couple of my car guy buddies have actually commented on how nice it sounds when I get on it a little.

Funny, this is exactly what we all say together at the start of every Jeep Lover's Anonymous meeting.

Fun fact: Old diff lube (at least the "special" GM stuff) was actually made with whale oil.

There are a few JL diff oil change videos out there. A quick google search will find them. From your Owners Manual:

Whenever I drive my Mojave to work, I usually take 3-4 trips to the windows overlooking the parking lot to check on it throughout the day. Occasionally I get 'caught' by a coworker. They all know what I'm doing and they just can't understand why. It must suck to drive a vehicle that you...

IMO, it's really difficult to compare the Gladiator to these other vehicles because of the intangible aspects of the JT. Any time I'm in my Mojave (or JK), no matter where I am going, it feels like some type of adventure. I don't know why. And, I'm in no particular rush to get whereever I'm...

Suspension component nuts on the JT? That was the specific question. I've had a few off my JT and never seen any. Nothing on my JK either. The FSM makes no mention of using threadlocker on suspension hardware. I like the restoration comment, but that really doesn't matter much. When I do...

Are you saying that you've seen red threadlocker on factory-assembled suspension hardware?

My misunderstanding. You quoted TheTrailGeek's direct reply to hjdca's post specifically about Method "Bead Grip" wheels. That's what threw me off.
