Yeah, that's what I meant to write, but my mind is playing opposite day.

Thanks for the info. It's a bit of a shame that Jeep doesn't have something like the "Tow/Haul" setting I had with my GMs. It lowers the shift points. For those running 37s, you could just hit that button on start-up--kind of like how I hit the Engine Start-Stop disable button on my Gladi as...

I went from stock 33s tires to 35s on my LTR. I had the dealer reprogram, so that my speedo and odo are correct. I can't say for certain, but it seems to have lowered my shift points. Does anyone know for sure whether dealer reprogramming lowers the shift points to account for the larger...

Many thanks for the helpful response! I'm selling mine, as I am getting a full-height Softopper, and just wanted to make sure that a purchaser could use it without too many headaches. I assumed this because, as you can see in my pics, I have various threaded holes in different places in the...

A modest difference in tire size won’t matter. I wouldn’t do it for tens of thousands of miles. But you’re normally going to be within 20 miles of a shop that can repair your damaged tire. You should watch this ingenious 1937 video that explains how an open differential works...

Do all Gladis (including those without the stock Roll-Up Tonneau Cover) have the threaded holes in the bed for the four brackets illustrated in the thee pics below? In other words, will the Roll-Up Tonneau Cover bolt on to a Gladi that did not come with the Cover without drilling threaded...

Right. You can see it in post #124 just up the page a bit.

Getting a full-height Softopper (https://www.softopper.com/softopper) on Monday. My Roll-Up Tonneau Cover is like new, but needs a new home. Just over 2,000 miles on it. A $595 item on my window sticker. Will sell for $350 to anyone in the NOVA area. I will post better, more-specific...

Cool.

According to Wikipedia, the average U.S. adult male weighs 196 lbs, and the average U.S. adult female weighs 168 lbs. Those seem kind of high to me. At 5’10” (i.e., pretty average), about 6 years ago, I got up to 203 lbs, but dramatically changed long-standing habits and am down to about 174...

My JTR hardtop with auto trans says 1,240 lbs. I rarely have over 550 lbs of humans in my cab. So, I have about 700 lbs to work with, which is enough for what I do. On rare occasions, I overloaded my GMC Sierra by about 400 lbs over the max payload (e.g., hauling gravel), and There was no...

Central Colorado.

I haven't. I can see how that might work in some situations, but I don't think it would be much of an advantage for the types of hunting I have been doing, which mostly involve hunting on a friend's farm, on one end, or backpacking way above tree-line with a lot of gear where vehicles aren't...

Yeah, the tow-hitch rack is no good for boats.

I can't tell for sure, but the trailer may hold more volume. But they both hold 500 lbs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BL5SLGB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1; https://www.yakima.com/easyrider), and they both remove at the campsite by simply releasing each of them from...

What are the advantages of one of those trailers over something like this?: It cost me $150, which appears to be 1/20th of the Yakima trailers.

If you have a tire failure, you don't need to worry about spare treadwear. You have open diffs driving to the nearest tire shop. You will have the slightest, non-material wear on your diff getting there--basically nothing. Notice how many vehicles have small temporary spares. Much larger...

Perhaps not easy, but plausible. Just buy a fifth set like the other four. Costs a bit more in the short term, but pays off later.

I always have five equal tires and wheels and rotate all five. Works best for my needs.
