It is a Sport S Max Tow package (4:10 gears, wider axles, heavy duty rear springs etc.). I purchased the JT in October 2019.
I added the black bezels from Quadratec I believe. They do not make the black inserts that fit the Gladiator grill like they do for the wrangler JL. The JL has smaller...
Okay, Time for the final name change! With the help of my girlfriend… well it’s all her on this one but I like it!
HOOKSTER
So if you want a laugh first off need to explain the “ Hookster “ name’s origin.
I have had one hell of a year starting in June 2021 when arriving back home after a...
I have not had trouble but I am checking them constantly. I won’t stay with this setup for long and I need to add a middle crossbar as JB says this XL needs 3.
Trying to wrap my head around the idea that I still need to carry a canoe ?, So I am working on a plan for that. Of course that means...
Love my James Baroud XXL RTT. Up in a minute, down in 3 min (tuck sides in and be sure to leave zippers open position both sides of RTT. The thing is nearly air tight and is really hard to close otherwise!).
This is hard cover, aerodynamic, great easy ladder instal and long enough for my 3.5”...
Took it camping this past weekend. Love the RTT, even with heavy winds the James Baroud did not flap around (gusts to 35mph). I had an easy nights sleep.
Also, the Solo Stove is incredible, first time to use it and loved it. No smoke and I didn’t smell like a campfire afterwards. Easy to cook...
3 years (in October) and 73,000 miles and runs perfectly (8 speed auto, factory 4:10’s (Max Tow) 37’s, 3.5” lift RE). Love it can’t imagine not having a JT ever again. I use mine like a truck, towing hauling, camping, and around the house work.
Quadratec also makes stock wheel copies in 9” width with 3.5” back spacing I believe (or is it 4.5? ) still way better than stock. I have one of these quadratec wheels that match my Rubicon wrangler wheels and you can not tell the difference accept… no red Willie’s Jeep on the lip. You can...
as with all Jeeps… “they are like a box of chocolates… you never know what you are going to get”
mine is an early JT 2020 Max Tow purchased October 2019. Mine does have the limited slip… yes I know how to check for one. Plus it must have been built on a good work day, 70,000+ miles so far and...
Hey just drive the damn things, if you want a rubi get one if you want a moab, buy it, a HA, ok. With 4/10 gears, 37’s, 3.5” lift, stock ruby wheels with 2” spacers, ARCUS front bumper with 12,500lb Smitty Built Synthetic lined winch… well my max tow does all I need it to do.
I am going with...
Ceramic coating done by a reputable shop is very worth the price IMOP. No scratches (I’ve been on trails that ran dry dead evergreens down the sides (oxymoron) no scratches. I just run through a car wash it looks like I spent all day meticulously cleaning it (yes it still fits with 37’s and...
Winter: 34lbs with BFG AT KO2 37’s on 17x7.5” rim, load range D. Summer 30-32lbs
(oh so scandalous, a 37x12.50 on a 7.5” wide rime??? ?. Other than an occasional stop to run back down the interstate to get my tire that came off, they are no problem. Okay… That’s a joke…. No really it is a joke...
37” BFG AT KO2s. Forget the 35’s. The 37’s are perfect with 4:10’s and I have no trouble pulling hills with the 8 speed automatic. You will see 7th gear more often, and it will drop to 5 or 6 on steep climbs with a load. This is not noisy however or jarring like a 5 speed auto would be. You...
It’s a Jeep Thing… you don’t understand ?
good luck with the Taco, I’ve had them and I hate them. Right now the funniest thing for me to do to the Yota lovers
Interstate steep grade climbs; me on 3.5” lift and 37’s them on 6”es of lift cut fenders and 33’s ?…?. They try to pass….? I accelerate...
Contrary to popular belief, monger wheelbase is more stable and climbs most ledges easily.
I had a chopped long bed (I.e. long frame, that was not shorten, so longer wheelbase on 38’s). My MJ was stable and a climber. Break over wasn’t a problem and I imagine this guy will have at least 42’s on...
I talked with him briefly at stop light. He did it for rock crawling and he just started Conversion . If you look at doors of his jeep you can see some dents and scratches I assume from crawling.
