I guess I like black wheels...

Looking more into Jeep documents, I don't know how much I trust them. They have conflicting information on their spec sheets, brochures, and website. Just look at the Rubicon and Mojave GAWR of 2,952. The 1710lbs payload was only available with the manual transmission in the past and is now...

It looks like Sport gets max towing capacity while Sport S gets max payload: From the 2024 Spec Sheet, Sport gets up to 1710lbs payload.

I've been tracking the MSRP pricing of my specific Sport S Max tow over the years based on the Jeep Build Sheets and the exact same configuration has gone up from $46k to $58k in 3 years. My Sport S came loaded with all packages except LED lighting. Including 8.4 Audio, Cold Weather...

Thanks. Your setup is pristine! The previous post looks spot on and seems to carry the load well. I'm wondering if the diesel AEV springs are different than the gasser ones. I'm eying the standards because I run the truck empty most of the time. Not many people out there running the Dual Sport...

Did you go with the standard or HD springs? How well do they carry weight and how much sag do you get when you hook up a trailer? Any pics of truck and trailer by chance? I run AEV on my JKU and I'm considering the DualSport for my JT. Curious how the AEV springs compare to the Max Tow rear...

I have both a JKUR and a JT. The JKU is for getting in trouble on offroad trails. The JT is my daily driver with towing duty and little dirt time. If I had to pick only one, it would be the JT as it does a bit of everything without being great at any of it. I have considered many times selling...

Cycled the front suspension while replacing the shocks and coils with Rubicon takeoffs to get a good baseline of limits. Removed the coils and jounce bumpers, disconnected swaybar, and left shocks and trackbar attached to simulate maximum droop and compression. Replaced the stock max tow front...

The double bunks and big front window are nice for sure.

Nice setup! Which Apex camper is that? I have the 208BHS and the Apex are notorious for heavy tongue weight.

Data overload. I made three changes to compare the towing experience: 1. Switched back to stock Dueler 245/75/17 tires from the 285/70/17 KO2s. 2. Changed my WDH from the Equalizer 10k to an Andersen 3. Moved cargo around in the trailer to reduce tongue weight from 840lbs to 760lbs Results...

I took my setup to the CAT scale with the results below. These are WITHOUT people in it, so I'd need to add 350lbs to get the full carried weight for the trip. The truck had gear in the bed that was included on the scale. The camper tanks were all empty. Truck only: Steer Axle: 2560lbs Drive...

Finally had a chance to put the truck through its paces. Spent a weekend in a loaded truck towing a 5k camper up and down various passes in Colorado, including I70 through Eisenhower tunnel, Leadville, Kenosha Pass, and Guanella pass, with the highest elevations over 11k feet. My truck is a...

Very cool. Which trails did you run in Moab? I just got back from Easter Jeep Safari in my JKU. I was amazed by the number of JTs in town. Looking forward to some spring wheeling.

Coming out of hibernation. Any plans for local runs or meetups? I want to see some Gladiators in action!

Set up the Equalizer 4 Point 10k weight distribution hitch. I took several measurements to adjust the tension bars. With the trailer attached, the hitch dropped by 4". After engaging the weight distribution bars, the hitch gained 2" back. I still have a slight negative truck rake with the front...

Installed the Redarc Elite brake controller. Trimmed the cubby with a dremel for a clean fit.

Added a few family friendly features: - Rough Country trifold hard cover - Running boards - Husky Xact floor mats I also got a set of Rubicon sliders. I plan to weld step rails on them at some point. They are 34lbs each and twice as heavy as the plastic running boards.

Speedom Shift points are comparable to the stock tire setup. Speedometer is spot on per GPS. Per JSCAN directions, I should use 32.25 as that's my actual tire height. I started with 32.75 and used distance driven to validate. Results were low so I bumped it up to 33 to get closer to stock...

Good to hear about your towing experience, especially in the mountains. I looked at the 285/75 KO2s and really like that size but they only come in load range E and were 11 pounds heavier than mine. I wish they came in a load range C or D. My tongue weight is about 600lbs and I have an...
