I had the same issue with my 32" (that was relatively big back then) BFG K2s years ago. Tire life was looooong on a two door 2005 TJ and performance was great on the road and off-road. BUT the tires kept going out pf balance and I would have to get them remounted/rebalanced like clock work...
First Jeep I owned was bought out of a grudge match with wife. I owned a small horse ranch with a fair amount of woods and hills and some really cool trails and old logging roads and she would not "let me" buy a four wheeler because she said I'd kill myself jumping rock walls so I was pissed...
Your opinion matters and thank you for offering it.
I do have a good set of windshield shades for the JT and they did help a little with the old JT. But when I'm home the cars are garaged and I don't commute to an office on a daily basis and I HATE going to places like shopping centers and...
I've bought a few black vehicles in my life but in my defense I've lived mostly in northern and temperate climates where the difference was not huge. So as I mentioned I was never a color buyer. As matter of fact when I went to get my new JT the dealer had 2 Mojave Xs in stock, a white and a...
I ran the AT3W that came with my Mojave for just under 600 miles but did some light trails and road and quite frankly except for the size I would have been 100% happy with those tires, they just WORK! But I had my heart set on getting the Gladiator on 35"s and I have the patience of a gnat so I...
I never really gave the color of my vehicles a lot of thought. God I'll never make that mistake again. I've always been a suited for purpose and features buyer and just lucked out with petty colors since I've never had a car that looked bad to me. Hell I've had some beauties over the years...
I just bought my "Dream Gladiator". '26 Mojave X and I immediately upgraded to the 35"x11.5" Wildpeak A/T W4 tires the factory should have supplied as an option. Added a few mostly cosmetic things in the cabin to make her more comfortable and gear like Bulletpoint stuff to attach iPads and...
I don’t know that 99% is accurate since I don’t think there is any kind of official statistical count. But I will agree that most Jeeps will never see even a dirt road in their lifetime which is fine of course.
Still, guess it’s kind’a a mystery to me why they send out Jeeps that are...
Congrats on the new money pit! The nighthawk is a nice trim package but I have zero clues why they put 20" wheels on ANY Jeep. Unless someone is buying a strictly street vehicle the loss of the much needed sidewall is crazy and the chances of screwed up rims increases exponentially with any...
Actually I’ve been taking my Starlink Mini with me when I go off-road. Nice to be able to have full internet access from pretty much anywhere. Just got a magnetic mount for the hood so I can use it on the move, not just while camping. Will be trying it out soon.
Hell I don’t leave the house without a knife on me and usually two!!!
My vote is for a recovery tow strap. Someone has to get those damn stuck Broncos out of the way so they don’t block our trails… 🤬
This was actually my first choice when I was shopping but the last picture on the Amazon product page warns of potential interference with back-up sensors which my Mojave X does have so I passed on it. It probably doesn’t but I didn’t feel like taking a chance. It looks like a very nice unit...
After scraping the bottom of my hitch a few times I decided some armoring was in order. This one is from Amazon Prime, serves double duty and was very reasonable. $67 with free two day delivery.

Living in the desert first WATER, a LOT of it. I won't leave the house without at least a few liters of water even for a short trip into the trails. A longer day trip means at least a gallon.
Next an appropriate firearm, at lest one, and of course ammo, reloads, hearing protection for...
This past weekend I took a long road trip (just over 1,700 miles) to break in the new tires and go camping with some friends. The Falken tires performed FLAWLESSLY on the highway from Las Vegas to Laramie, WY and then off road into The Snowy Mountain Range in all terrains including snow, sleet...
I've done sections of Wheeler Pass quite a few times (one of my favorite runs) and I've gone way past Wheeler Well to go camping, just never made it all the way to the other side of the mountain to Cold Springs. It's a really cool run and some very pretty country up there. Snow is currently...
