I’ve had 2 sets of BFG AT tires. Both sets had one tire that took much more weight than the others. I’ve switched to Toyo tires and been very happy with them.

Those lower control arm bolts are double tough to get loose. On my Wrangler, even with a he-man impact gun, I had to loosen from the bolt side. The nut would not come loose.

If your wheels are hub centric, there is little value to the procedure. Note that Gladiator lug nut torque specs are 130 ft/pounds. The blurb was originally post with 90 ft/pounds (specs for my TJ).

Good catch. The info was originally written for old Jeeps with smaller lug nuts. 130 ft/pounds is correct for Gladiators.

Sometimes wobble is caused by wheels mounted so that they are out of round. Stock wheels are hub centric to avoid this issue. Aftermarket wheels are often made for multiple vehicles and the center hole may be larger than your hub. These wheels are designed to be lug centric. The problem with...

Except for the ORV parks, all the trails I have been on in N Georgia have been on public roads. All of the are passable in a stock Jeep. Some of them have not been maintained recently and you may have to negotiate large ruts. Charlie's Creek is the most popular spot for Wheelers/Campers and...

I bought the lift for my Wrangler at Quadratec. Their price for a JT lift is $1500. Mopar 2" Performance Suspension for 20-26 Jeep Gladiator JT | Quadratec I tried pricing out that parts list that was shared earlier. It didn't seem cheaper. From ChatGTP: 💰 Complete Price List (by part...

HAHAHA - I'm 73 and I can identify with your conclusions. I put a Mopar lift on my Wrangler. I found thar reading the instructions (Not normal for me) provided good rest between the on the floor slut work. Also, getting those front control arm bolts off was tough!!! My super strong impact...

I'd say the failure of remote start to work first thing in the morning is a sign that your batteries are getting weak. It is impossible to say which battery is causing the problem using just the noted remote start issue. However, if you have a 2021 and the batteries are the original ones, I'd...

I have the Mopar lift on my Wrangler. My OCD would not allow me to run the stock track bar so I upgraded both the front and rear track bars. I didn't want to spend big money for track bars so I put a JKS trackbar on the front and a Lynx track bar on the back. Both bars are longer (as...

Are your wheels stock? If not, are the wheels hub centric? If not, it is possible to mount the wheel off-center which can cause wobble. The variation of the problem with wheel pressure suggests a wheel out of round or off-center. Here is how you should mount your aftermarket rims, after a...

I rode around trhe Frank church wilderness on a motorcycle a couple of times. The last was in 2015. We called our ride the "Six Days of Idaho." It was great! https://advrider.com/f/threads/my-dad-rode-the-six-days-of-idaho-and-all-i-got-was-a-t-shirt.1084303/

I've been dirt roading in Idaho 3 times - in 2007 and 2015 on a motorcycle and 2021 with my Jeep. The forest roads in Idaho are well mapped and kept in good condition. The biggest challenge is routing for gas and food. Don't miss the Custer Ghost Town and the dirt road that goes from Custer...

The 2 batteries effectively function as one except when there is a stop/start event and the engine is off (during a stop/start event, the batteries rejoin for starting). Since I do not like stop/start, I switched to one battery...

I ran KO2s on my TJ for a couple of years. It seemed like there was always one in a set that was hard to balance. I did not think that they lasted long enough either. The Toyo ATIII were a similar alternative. The bonuses were that the Toyos came in 11.5" wide (stayed in the fenders) and...

Running stock wheels with Toyo 35x11.5r17 All Terrain tires since 2020. These tires have always done the job. In fact, I run the same combo on my Wrangler.
