The tires are small! They are the same size tires as the factory tires on my JTR. The PW rims are 8" wide while I believe the Rubi rims are 8.5" wide. Most PW folks immediately jump to 35 or 37 tires. I have no pending plans to do either. I have owned a 98 Cummins and a 05 Cummins for the...
.......even though I added on to the fleet. JTR is sharing garage space with this guy. I ordered the Power Wagon in Oct and picked it up in late January. Loving it so far but the JTR is easier to deal with in day-to-day driving. I have been driving (sometimes daily) Dodge 2500 Cummins 4X4s...
Do you have a spray-in bedliner? Is so, you will likely need to clear some of it from the entrance edge of the holes. I found it to be tedious work just to get a tap started on the holes. The holes are definitely 6mm x 1.0.
I have never been back to an automated car wash since 2005 when they damaged my then new 2005 Dodge Ram Cummins. I am lucky.....I am retired, so I have the time to hand wash and I set up my climate controlled garage to have a wash bay. It is never too hot or too cold outside to wash my...
I picked up a set of the Mopar plastic side steps a few weeks ago for $100 off of FB Marketplace. Locally there were a few sets to select from. I used the plastic rails to replace the Rubi rails. So far I am happy with them.
Here is a post I made about using the trailer plug as access for charging the batteries.

Another vote for the Honda Silicone Grease. I used it on my '14 JK seals when new and it never had a leak with the Freedom panels or doors for 9 years.
I just did the opposite. I installed a set of High Altitude side steps on my Rubi. I picked them up on Marketplace for $100. Yes, the switch over is very straight forward. It is the same mounting hardware for both.

And After
I also added Weathertech front mud flaps which are...
My '23 Rubi turned 1 year old on June 15. To mark the occasion, I washed it on Friday, waxed it on Saturday and cleaned the interior on Sunday. Last wash was some time in February. In my defense, the JT never sees winter salt. That is what the '88 YJ is for. Washing included a thorough...
Yeah, I hear you. Thanks for the clarification on wear items! I was disappointed that Snap-On would not calibrate, or if necessary, repair the wrenches. I was operating under the assumption that Snap-On stands behind their tools for a lifetime. I didn't know that their torque wrenches were...
I have been purchasing tools since high school in the early seventies. I have used them strictly for home mechanic use and I still have just about every tool I have ever purchased. I was a Craftsman kind of guy unless I couldn't get a particular item from Craftsman. That stopped immediately...
Quite frankly this is the most stress-free automotive forum I have had the pleasure of participating in. To see a valued contributor like Kevin respond to another valued contributor (Bill) in this fashion did not sit right with me. I am not a keyboard tough guy. However, I felt that I needed...
