I hope someone explained to the folks that stalled they could have popped the clutch in reverse and started it…

Never heard of that one giving more spare tire clearance, but I know the Clayton does. I’ll try to find some photos.

It’s just a mental block for me. Something else to go wrong, and when it comes to the battery pack, we’re all hearing horror stories as to how much those things cost and that’s just for road bound vehicles not off-road vehicles where they’re more susceptible to getting damaged.

One of the main deciding factors in choosing the JTRD was I absolutely didn’t want the etorque, which all JL’s came with at the time. I was also told the JT 3.6’s were headed that way as well.

Interesting…good eyes

I was gonna recommend the exact same thing, but didn’t know that there was a limitation of a 37 inch tire. Here’s the section that shows requirements/limitations.

What area of the country are you from? I can point you to a dealer that may have one in N Central Florida, but you’ll have to deal with them not fully honoring the Mopar coupon they list on their site. I walked out and will hold out for a Clayton system that’s more robust and complete for the...

Jeeps drive differently. They also change as you stack on the miles. It’s a trade off. Newer steering systems with the rack and pinion system have a much better on center feel and generally come on vehicles with Independant front suspensions. Solid axle vehicles have a completely different...

It may be a relative question. Are you new to Jeeps or are you coming from a vette or mustang?

In my mind, the break over for a 20”wheel is a 40”tire. 18s cost more and I believe you’ll have more of an issue finding a C rated tire. You just don’t need a 10 ply E rated tire on these rigs. The most I’d entertain would be a D rated tire, but there are exceptional C rated AT and MT tires.

I don’t see why you’re wasting energy getting worked up. Go to a different dealer.

Good news and bad news. Good news is it’s not the 37’s fault entirely. It was the improper wheel backspacing selection. The bad news is, the last I looked, RB wasn’t signing off on the rock-blocks for the diesel due to the high temp of the exhaust. as far as those wheels are sticking out I...

If you do a search on YT I’ve seen this discussed.

…not to sound like a commercial for Clayton, but I’ve seen numerous posts and YT vids where folks have swapped kits from other manufacturers to Clayton as other manufacturers springs seem to have issues with spring sag over time…especially the rear as weight is added.

If I’m not mistaking, @Clayton Off Road anticipates a steel front bumper with winch into their formulation / manufacturing parameters. Other than this, there’s no way to accurately account for all other options, body weights etc.

On my VW TDI Golf, all I had to do was add a bulb, because the harness already had the plug. They were automatically actuated with the parking lights. So, when your lights came on in automatic mode or I’d manually switched on the parking lights they were on. I’d tie them into this portion of...

Keeping cheap in mind I’m assuming you are sticking with your 18” wheels. So you’d be looking at a 285/65x18. All tires I’ve found in this size are E rated tires that go on 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. Way too much tire especially with the relatively shallow sidewall. Not to mention you’re only...

What wheels and back spacing are you running to get 1/2 poke? What arms are you running and are you experiencing any rub? I’m guessing +12 as the factory Recon flare extensions would be about perfect to cover.

Don’t know if it’s been said in this thread or not, but the owners manual is an excellent place to look. The actual paper version or electronic version.
