Back to the topic at hand: prices be crazy, yo!

You never do

However the tire shop does it. I don't have a stable enough surface to do a rotation. The were new tires. 2020 mfg date.

Rotated every 5k miles, though one time I went 10k without rotation. The wear on the passenger side is actually greater than the driver, it's 14-15 32nds on the driver side front and read, and 12 32nds on the passenger front and rear. No idea why, there is more weight on the driver side with...

As stated in original post, May 2020 so a year and a half ago

I have seen a few folks on the trails running those. They don't do as well as the Falkens

Im seeing 35x12.5x17 tires hovering around $400 a tire! I know, supply chain issues. I picked up my 5-set of Falken MTs in May 2020 for $280 a tire. Seeing them go for over $400 now (some places $380 but unknown shipping costs...) is a bit of a surprise. I fortunately have 2 unused tires. One...

I had those steps, until I hit a rock wheeling and cracked one. It was a good hit, minor damage. I prefer the rock rails. But yes, adding 100lbs rock rails and a 100lb horse stall mat for the bed and 100lbs of bumper and winch and 50lbs of gear, well now my 1550lb payload becomes 1000lbs payload...

That reminds me, I'd say I lost 1mpg from making the bumper stubby!

Yep, I had a thread about it a couple years ago on the effect on performance (towing, payload, etc) with mods like larger tires, lifts, winches, etc. Stock I was getting 21mpg mixed highway. Mud-terrain tires (same size as OEM sport) dropped me down to 20mpg. Front steel bumper and winch...

There's a spot on one of my favorite trails like that, no avoiding it. Long wheelbase helps. My wife was freaking out, I was loving it.

Following, seems I too have an intermittent rattle that goes away from my JT, sounds more like a metal creak rather than metal rattle, from the truck bed area.

4 doors more.... something. Saw it in the news a while back.

Oh I get that it is worth the price. Nice features and comparable price to competitors' racks that accommodate the soft-topper type products under them. But speaking of more steel and hardware, what's this thing weigh?

Bigger tires yes

Shame you were in California

3 trips or a trailer. Hauled dozens of bags last summer, made multiple trips. I learned ordering 8 pallets and having them delivered was cheaper and easier That is 1165 less your weight, the weight of stuff in your vehicle, and the weight of gas in your tanks. See my payload thread
