Well I know you said 35’s but here are 37’s BFG KO2s on wrangler Rubicon wheels (can get them with less backspacing and 17x9 vs stock 17x7.5)
I have 2” forged aluminum hub centric spacers. My lift is 3.5” Rubicon Express.
I have 4:10 gears and Tazer, Jeep drives great . I feel like it actually...
Now this right here… is why you go 37’s. Women love a man with big tires… but you better be able to back it up… otherwise stay with stock tire size.
First off o found out why the ride was suddenly so awful (swayed as if front sway bar was disconnected… it was on passenger side. The bolt fell out, see picture. I had the lift put on by reputable shop but i still should have gone back and tightened everything after 500 miles and marked with a...
Wheel spacers are fine as long as you run the hub centric spacer and I buy forged aluminum. I’ve never had an issue, though I do check them after first 500 miles and then very oil change (5000 miles). I haven’t had any loose after over 20 years of running them on trail rigs to DDs.
I like the...
I would say you are good. On a 2020 Sport S, I used stock rubicon times and 37 BFG AT KO 2’s with now rub issues, turn lock to lock, on the road not off road.
I’ve owned many Jeeps and only issues I’ve had are the crank position sensor (on a Comanche with 180,000 miles). Then just the other typical axle breakage beating them off road and with my XJ’s I had two with eventual exhaust manifold leaks.
All else? Dead flat reliable. I’ve owned Toyota...
No this is not true, the gladiator is not a wrangler with the bed attached. The Gladiator is a real mid-sized truck (if you doubt this look at the bed load capacity and the tow ratings… all much higher than a Wrangler). This has been hashed out on here for… well since the beginning. The JT front...
For me… perfection in a second vehicle is a mildly built 2013 5.0 convertible Mustang GT 6speed manual… yes, Red of course! And for fun? Yes a red 2001 XR250R… perfect!
This is one reason I bought the JT… I’ve had a lot of Jeeps and trucks with solid axles and I love them for their simplicity and durability.
all manufacturers are struggling with quality control. This is a result of decreased labor force, and material supply chain. Many people working in any...
Found out why my rear end is totally out of control… on the JT that is! Really showed up after adding the 185+ pound James Baroud RTT way up high on rack. The JT would start to bounce like a … Bronco… !! Shocks were cheap and the rear springs have lost about 2”es of lift (out of 3.5) in 5000+ on...
Camber can be is spec with most any solid axle lift, caster can be in spec in a static measurement (as in at the shop on alignment rack)… but with short arms and that much lift I’ll bet the caster easily goes beyond spec when you drive it. Once the front pinion is allowed to rotate up, caster...
Still waiting on a bunch of stuff but put a James Baroud XXL RTT on the rack. I will need to lower the rack a little and add some center support ? maybe. Taking it back off today and putting in the garage for winter.
I don’t purchase cars on credit but I never answer the question from the dealers: are you financing or paying cash? They make money off of financing the vehicle as well as the little markups for vehicle lot storage and prep, tinting windows, adding ceramic coatings, interior protection for seats...
Ok well going to the dealer and driving one with 4:10’s and a 33” tire is not a very good comparison IMOP.
for me I have 37’s and 4:10 factory gears with a Tazer and it drives very well with that set up. Hard passes it will drop to 5th gear and grunts a little but I rarely need to do that in my...
Check that bolt on the axle side of track-bar. 19mm and it should have the factory bolt on there that includes the retainer/tightener metal wing. I also use lock-tite on the threads… I know most don’t recommend but I’ve used it in the track-bar for over 20 years. My first DW experience was in...
