I fully agree. My post was a little personal experience with a silver lining added to the topic. By no means a counter argument.

The JT with a 2" lift and 37s is a GREAT driver's training vehicle! Parking, surface roads, and highways are all a bit more challenging than in other vehicles ... long wheel base, minor wander, & minor bump-steer. My 16yr old son did the 4hr drive home from vacation recently to get his final...

I have always been against snobby elitist club mentality. I pretty much disregarded brand name trends with clothing and such going through school. Before buying my first Jeep, I viewed the "Jeep Wave" as a stupid elitist gesture. I knew I wouldn't wave at other Jeeps once I owned one...

Finally got the Beast up on 37s! Lift: 2" Mopar Tires: 37x12.5 r 17 Patagonias Wheels: DX4 7s 17"x8.5" -6 offset Just got them home Hit a local MTB trail with my son

Great stance! Do you have Max Tow (with the wider axles)? What is your rim width & offset?

I swam in the Colorado, Platte, and Mississippi rivers ... all seemed reasonably clean, but I couldn't see to the bottom of any of them. Since I was near the boat launch at the CO River (in both Fruita & Moab), there was enough activity to keep sediment churned up.

I was just out in Moab two weeks ago. It was a very busy place! I was only in town for dinner one night. Otherwise, i was very much socially distanced. I didn't end up wheeling in Moab (just camped and mountain biked). I had bikes and gear that I didn't want jostled around, and my tight...

All good questions. Here are some related thoughts ... not necessarily answers or definite solutions. -Might the flipped up license plate still be technically viewable, and not be in violation of the law in TX? -Many trailers have a location for a license plate to be removed from the towing...

I like the design features I see! Any idea on the price? Any idea when they will be available for purchase? If there will be a pre-fab order discount, I'm in.

On my JLU, I used the Mopar ones. On my JT, I have the Rockhard Patriot sliders. I'm making my own removable mud flaps using a $25 generic set.

The 'low' tow receiver makes the already poor departure angle even worse. I'd like a bumper like this ... but with an integrated tow receiver. An integrated one could be about 3" higher than the factory one. Anyone know of such a bumper? I'd like to avoid this ...

I got my JT rear ended after a month of ownership! :angry: And I have a MTB & 4x4 trip to Moab & back planned with a departure date of June 15th. :crying: An oblivious driver in a Durango ran into me at full speed while I was waiting at a red light behind 5 or 6 other cars. I was hit at about...

LOL. Not joking. Thanks for the concern. Please tell me that pic was photo shopped! It is true that I know just enough about 12v dc circuitry to be dangerous. What I don't know, I'm asking and researching. Any 'weak spot' in the circuit, I've tested while exposed. I posted the result...

I believe that was a reference to your " Planned add-ons: , Rock Hard sliders, Rock Hard mid width winch bumper, Sunrider top, Mopar lift, 37x11.5 tires on 18" rims" in your signature below your posts. And, I feel your pain. Things would go very badly for me if I spent more on mods...

I found something interesting on another slider thread. It is posted by the JCR rep who makes a slider that mounts to the pinch seam of the body as well as the bolts where the body mounts to the frame ... similar to the RockHard slider. "Pinch weld and frame is a bad idea. But we use the pinch...

I appreciate the real life experience you shared on the topic. I do think there is A LOT of off-roading that falls between the extremes of 'tub cracking flex' and 'mall crawling'. While I anticipate my JT holding up fine while wheeling spots where I wheeled my JLU (see list), I look forward to...

I now have my main front to back wire terminating at an Anderson style connector for my air compressor. I tied into that line for a pair of 12v cigarette outlets with a 30amp inline fuse as well as a double USB outlet with a 5amp inline fuse. This is all currently connected to my Aux 1 wire in...

This post really struck me the wrong way... (maybe I'm just getting ornery due to 'quarantine') A 'bash' with no supporting evidence? A recommendation to avoid a product with no reason? "There's a reason"? Please educate rather than bash. If you are willing to share your knowledge, I'm...
