Kernels of truth filtered through the mouths of people who expect this great little Jeep/truck to be a sports car. Who bases shifting on redline?
To be fair, I have 4.10s. To also be fair, I'm making them turn 37s.
I love it more every day.
I've been thinking of getting a small utility or dump trailer for hauling stuff, rocks and dirt and mulch, etc. If I pull the trigger I'll let you know.
Those late 60s Chevy's were beautiful. All the way around.
Some day that may never come when I have both more space and more money, I'd love to get a step side 4x4 from that era.
And yeah, lifting those round wheels out of the square wheel wells is absurd.
They know. The difference I give them all the credit in the world for compared to any other manufacturer is that they keep providing for it and improving the ability to do it. They're the only company that makes modifying easy and purposefully keep it that way, and even make it simpler in a...
I've got you on slippage and user error.
For all my planning and research, I never noticed the reverse lockout ring. Never had one, didn't know it existed.
Pick up my new Jeep, which is parked sitting nose uphill. Go all the way left on the shifter, back one to the right and try to go...

Usually Mall Crawler (as opposed to Rock Crawler) implies a built up Jeep that never sees more mud and terrain than a puddle and a curb. Bit of "why did you do all that and not take it off road?". Term of derision.
Your pics are crawling ON the mall however, which is acceptable and...
I don't think I'll have a problem. They're out less than the JK I've been getting inspected for years.
If you look at it dead straight down, it's the sidewall gnarly bits that stick out, not the flat tread cleats. If they're out, it's barely.
I chose them specifically for that, I'm not a big...
ARB compressor. Bought the toolbox kit, de-toolboxed it. Went with the smaller one for amp draw reasons. Easy aux switch hookup that way. Couple holes drilled out in it's mount plate, couple through the underseat retainer thingy... presto! On board air.
Toolbox still usable, just has some...
