Thanks so much, yup I'd been looking for a bumper and had previously put a front and rear bumper from Next Venture Motorsports on my past build. I was extremely happy with the design, quality and support so I went with them again on my JT. They have several styles, the one I like the most is...
Thanks so much. The spare is an issue, the Nitto's / rims don't fit under the truck unless I remove the heat shield and then the track bar clearance is super close. Not the way I want to go so I'm looking at either a rack mount or even the AEV JT tire bed holder, still looking at options so in...
Thanks, appreciate your comments. I'm really happy with the Clayton Lift and the Falcons, the ride is excellent! I've done AEV, RK and EVO on past rides, and I'm extremely happy with quality, ride and support from Clayton. I was going with the Clayton 2.5" lift but the height I've got now is...
Been watching the end of year 2023 JT discounts and enjoying a Buddy's JTD for several years, so took the plunge (and the discounts) on a 23 JTRD. I've had several Jeeps over the years (JL, JK's, TJ's and an older CJ) and just finished a two year+ build on a JLUR (3.6, 3.5" EVO/Kings, Currie 1...
I just bought a JTRD last month and had the same dilemma. It really depends on what your "use" is going to be. If you're just "Mall Crawling" and staying with the smaller K02's then the factory 3:73 gearing "may" be ok for you (but as you said it will be "laggy" on power).
For me, I'm a...
IMO if you're going to stay stock with w/3.73's then stay with factory settings and go up to 33's like the Rubicon. I think they would be perfect for the fit, mpg and your intended use. (Also you should be able to get a set of Rubi take-offs for a good price). Even though the diesel will...
You've changed the OEM suspension ride zone so you should expect some change (weight dependent). I just removed the "plastic/steel" OEM front bumper from my Rubicon and replaced it with a Next Venture bumper/skid/Warn Zeon 10s. I was also checking the new weight difference. The OEM...
I was looking online and a buddy who has an EcoDiesel, mentioned the improvement with a "Pedal Commander". I was so, so on it, until the Black Friday Sales got me - took the discount and purchased one. ($50 discount helped as these are a little expensive)
WOW, if you have a turbo then you've...
They are angled to the outside, maybe 30 degrees (I’ll measure in the am). One of the reasons I like the bumper as it gives a wider dispersion of light front and to the side.
Started my build this weekend. EcoDiesel factory bumper came off and installed a Next Venture Adventure Series front Bumper and Warn Winch. Build quality from Next Venture is awesome, packaging outstanding and install pretty simple. A couple of items if anyone does this - it's going to take...
Hi just joined the forum as I purchased a JT Ecodiesel a couple of weeks ago and I'm in process with 37's, a Clayton lift and Dana 4:56 gears (going to be towing).
I've been active on other Jeep forums and had many different Jeeps over the years, most with gear changes and lifts (dependent upon...
