I had the same problem and took it in to the dealer. They torqued down the lower ball joint nuts and that helped a LOT. Now I hear other creaking noises when articulating but from all 4 corners individually. Sounds like either all sway bar nuts could be loose a bit or bushings need greasing.
Using no sources and no industry information whatsoever, I highly doubt we see the 4xe in a Gladiator in 22. I would guess 23 or 24 to give Jeep more time to sell the existing drivetrains and then have the potential for original 20 and 21 owners to trade up to the new options.
While its not the...
Wheels are KMC KM545 TREK in 17x9 +18mm offset. The backspace is 5.71" but you need to keep in mind that backspace or offset is directly related to wheel width when you're concerned about how much it pokes out. A 10 inch wide wheel with 5.71 backspace will poke out a full 1 inch further than...
I'm running 315/70-17 (BFG KO2) tires on 9in wide wheels with +18 offset and this is what it looks like, +12 will stick out just a little more.
IMO its perfect but everyone has their own taste.
My wife makes fun of me for both waving and getting waved.
Also funny story, my first getting waved happened when I test drove a JTR before I got mine. It didn't occur to me that this was a thing until after the fact.
I got mine with TPMS installed from the shop. They got picked up immediately by the computer and allows me to sell the stock package intact. Adds a bit of cost but so much more convenient
Waze 100% pulls speed data from the car computer, unless it malfunctions or its connection isn't working. Try using it while the phone is not plugged in, that way you'll see your speed as read by GPS. That's actually a good way of setting it yourself if you have a Tazer or something like it...
Most 315 width tires are designed for rims at least 8" wide. That's not to say they can't be mounted on to 7.5" wheels like you have, but they won't perform at their peak. They will naturally have a bit more curvature to the tread and wear more in the middle. A wider rim will flatten the tread...
I deleted my last reply because I only took backspace into calculation.
You're looking to do 2 things here, go to a wider wheel and maintain the same stance you have now using spacers.
The stock 7.5" wide wheels have a +44mm offset. Using 1.75" spacers effectively makes that offset 0, its not...
I'm really curious to see how much wheel poke there is with various wheel and tire combos.
I'm strongly considering Black Rhino Kelso wheels that are 9" wide and 0 offset along with moving to 315/70-17 tire but I did some math and I'm afraid that would poke out too much for my taste.
So if you...
Right, I only really did online builds for a mojave and rubicon where screen size does mean premium sound, or at least they make it seem like it does.
In either case, I replaced only my front dash 3.5" speakers with infinity and the difference is night and day. The lack of true tweeters in the...
