Speaking from experience just use an extra bit of caution jumping in an out. Ive left my shin skin on the panels more than once ;)

The plethora of aftermarket solutions for v8 swaps hints theres a market for a v8 JT....how many aftermarket ifs solutions are there?

I did have to clearance the passenger bracket for fuel tank skid plate but otherwise happy.

Hardware was a puzzle but def a sturdy kit, and total bargain at 300 a pair.

Right on! Ordered a set....long overdue. Whats the mudflap setup u have and did it work directly with steps?

Ive been wanting a set for a couple years and looks like currently 600.00 off...

Stock mojave with 37x12.5 factory width and offset

Stock mojave (non x) ran 37 bf Goodrich on stock, raceline, and now fifteen 52s...standard offset. No rubbing but never had need to disconnect swayvar.

+1 for bluetti. Their stuff scales really well even for full home use and very portable. Saves a lot of headaches with noisy generators.

37s overloaded and yearly trips to moab from fl and my stock foxs never had issues. 40k miles now most of which are offroad and/or hauling concrete

If its not been posted already good deals on the badlands units.

Your maintenence is more expensive by the simple fact that you have additional parts required by the ESS system with high failure count. Yes batteries will fail they don't last forever but the ESS system forces you to have additional batteries....which is a higher cost and just because you are...

The factual data I provided earlier holds true. Your 4 years with a conservative estimate of 100.00 a year savings is eclipsed by the the typical maintenance required by the system. I.E. Simple Aux batter replacement. That is not opinion in regard to the system one way or the other, and I'm...

Pot calling the kettle black here. You still fail to recognize the greater discussion here. I will reiterate yet again the information I provided factually proves the ESS system does not result in a cost benefit.

I've never stated anyone is replacing a starter every couple years. I've never stated shorter lifespan than typical. Your exact quote was: "Starter wear is a non issue these days". That is refuted by jeeps own TSBs specifically for repeated starter motor failures due to high cycle count in ESS...

No matter how many times you say it, it doesn't make it truth. I've never once made a claim about someone changing a starter every two years. Again look no further than the aftermarket replacement starter sales data. Here's some more readily available data on ESS systems (with their sources)...

I specifically provided the sources it used, none were forums. And starter wear and failure is still and always will be a "thing". You can't argue physics. Don't kid yourself on that, the technology is improved but look no further than any parts supplier and their sales history which absolutely...

Thats spot on with what I've seen. Source data: https://www.edmunds.com/fuel-economy/engine-stop-start-systems-save-fuel-at-low-cost.html https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/fuel-economy-efficiency/does-start-stop-function-really-improve-cars-fuel-economy-a1028235974/...

Cost analysis on these systems are eye opening. On average the net cost savings over 5 years is $25-$125. Thats it, and that assumes a 5% fuel savings. Much of the savings is offset by significant increase in part cost due to added complexity. I can say first hand due to cost of battery...
