The JT is my 5th, still own the other four:
'68 J3000 Gladiator SJ, parts source
'69 J3000 project, just gave it to my 16 year old
'69 J2000 my project
'69 J3000 Farm Truck (in the avatar)
That's good!
The BFGs I mentioned measure 15.5" from the ground to the hub center (front wheel) with 37 lbs air I've been running so I tried setting the size to 31"
Speed is dead on with my app now and also noticed the 8 speed shifted a bit sooner, very happy with that, wasn't terrible but had...
Well, here's what I just found on my '21 Max Tow Sport S, hooked up the J-scan and the factory had the wheel size set at 30.65!!! Speedo has been reading 2 MPH low according to my speedo app running 285-70R-17 BFG AT KO2s. I don't get it.
I had a drop in liner in an S10 I owned for quite a while. I knew crap was getting behind/under it so I pulled it out for cleaning, the third time or so noticed it had rubbed through the paint to bare steel in places. Happy with my factory liner now and don't miss how items slid around on the...

Agreed, Greg. Some might have a problem with the extra 1.5" poke out but that's part of why I like them. Been getting a lot of positive feedback on them and the quality is very good.
Took delivery of my ordered 2021 Sport S Max Tow yesterday! What a fun day. My son was so stoked! Put about 100 miles on it driving home. Had the dealer order and install the Mopar wheels and 285-70-17 BFG AT KO2. Thanks everyone on this site for all the info and help learning about and...
Unloaded from rail 9/20, trucked to dealer in ID on 9/22. My ordered wheels/tires on today, still needs front windows tinted and prepped, I can't go get it until Saturday :headbang:

I like the subtle amount of bling left on this interior now.
