If it doesn't look like the picture, then you have the plastic bumper that's not winch-capable. If you have the plastic bumper, you can still use just the winch plate by itself. Personally, I like the look of it.
It definitely would matter to an extent. Eventually, I'll replace the spare wheel with something with the correct offset. Right now, worst case scenario, I would pull a rear tire put it on the front, and put the spare on the rear.
Sorry about that. Your question about the track bar did remind me. Yes, the track bar I have is from Clayton and has a curve in it to clear the tire. A curved track bar will be inherently weaker. With what I do with the truck it should be fine. If you plan on hardcore off roading then I...
Same as what others have said. A 37 will fit without any problems. I've been running with a 37 Nitto Ridge Grappler under the bed for a year now. Drove from the Seattle area to LA twice along with going to Tucsan and Death Valley, and haven't had any problems.
Other than the color, that's the same jeep as mine. So far, I have zero complaints. It's really nice to have the power on tap to get up and move. The fuel economy is also nice. I've had mine on a handful of road trips with 37" tires and the lowest mpg I got was 19.5 by the numbers. As...
It looks like it was a good trip! The DEF use seems a little high compared to what I get but I don't tow a trailer. For comparison, I've taken two trips this year. One was a 2,600 mile trip and one was 3,400 mile trip. On both trips, I burned through 2.5 to 3.5 gallons of DEF
As a GIS forester, this is interesting. The best phone app I have used is Gaia but I still find it frustrating and limiting. OnX just makes me want to throw the phone out the window.
I'm someone who really likes my seasons, but I gotta admit.... That doesn't look too bad right now. Luckily I'll be down there for a few days in a couple of weeks.
There's already been some good advice on what to bring. The main thing is to go out and have some fun. I don't really know that area but if it's just dirt roads then you should be fine running by yourself as long as your smart about it. If it's a little more than gravel roads I would suggest...
I'm guessing that Jeep came out with the Xtreme Recone pkg in direct response to the Bronco being available with 35" tires from the factory. Jeep wasn't going to let that slide and take a back seat to Ford. Jeep doesn't have to worry about that with any other midsize truck, so there is no...
