If you want to Rock Crawl then I agree, but as a general off road vehicle I disagree. Get a Max Tow with 4:10 Gears and limited slip rear diff. Spend $150 on sway bar disconnect and put in a front locker. 1.5 inch leveling kit with bumper/winch. Upgrade tires. You then have an awesome set up...
The Apex is a lot nicer with the dial, but is $450 vs. $173 for the Teraflex. It takes less than a minute to disconnect the Teraflex, I just can't justify that kind of money for the Apex.
I was down to the Synergy and Teraflex and went with the Teraflex due to how it installs as I can go...
Yeah, they're out there but few and far between compared to E rated tires. I put C on my JT. When I got my Power Wagon it had D's and I replaced them with E rated Coopers. When the Coopers wear out I'm going back to D rated. Looks like my options are Toyo or Yokahama. THe Hankook MT's are...
1. I'm not tied to diesel motors as I do not own any.
2. You are wrong about them being dirty. A modern diesel engine emits almost zero pollution. You can have one running in your garage and you'll get a headache, it won't kill you. There can be a happy medium to a diesel engine emitting...
Yes, I'll agree with you when it comes to weight of tires. It seems like everything is heavy Load Range E anymore. It's hard to find Load Range C or D tires. It's more than just breakage, it's the wear and tear that larger tires put on a Dana 44.
Diesel engines should be the future of motor vehicles, but they have been regulated to death by big gov. The push for electric which is so stupid as they are far from being "green".
Let me act like an old man and say "Get off my Lawn". I'm a Gen X'r and grew up in the 80's reading 4 Wheeler and Peterson's Off Road magazines. You do not need big ass tires for a good off road vehicle. You need low gears. For years and years and years there were Willys Jeeps, International...
This must be a common problem. Mine is doing it when I drive when it's windy at interstate speeds. It gets worse when I hit a bump. Sounds like I"m dragging something under the vehicle, but I'm positive its air. Sometimes just rolling the window down fixes it.
Forgot to add when I checked the codes it said it was due to Throttle Control. Hopefully this was just because of all the loose fuses from the factory and it doesn't do it again.
Got on interstate today and when accelerating My JT shut down. The Traction Control light came on and check engine light also came on and in the information area it said service electronic stability control. It was an unsafe situation as I coasted it wouldn't let me go over 30 MPH. I pulled...
Survey, don't get me started on that GD survey. The dealer wouldn't leave me alone about completing that survey as it is very important to them, blah, blah, blah. I kept telling them I never received their damn survey and had checked my email to be certain I never received the survey. They...
