Congrats on the find. I know how it feels. About a year before buying my 80th anniversary I test drove one and really liked the subtle 80th details. I thought this would be the one only if I could find one when I was ready to make a purchase.
Fast forward a little over a year later, I sold my...
I run mine through Russel Speeders, they are now the only ones that has a wide enough track to fit my tires through. I used to run it through a touchless but someone with wide tires must have jacked up their track and now they won't let me go through anymore. There is another drive through I...
Looks good, yeah, I'd say 38psi is too much and would give a rougher ride, you should be good at 33psi.
I didn't see it mentioned, but what lift did you go with?
I have a full sized 37" spare in the stock location*. It's mounted on the OE Overland wheel my JT came with. I rotate every oil change but I do not rotate the spare in.
*I replaced the rear OE trackbar with a Clayton trackbar to accommodate the spare's size.
I went to Lowe's and they have left over/scrap lumber on a rack in the general lumber area. I picked out the straightest, treated 1x8 and the guy cut it to length for me and he said "no charge". Once I got it home I made a couple 45 degree cuts at the bottom and Voila!
I can't speak on the BDS lift, but I have a 2" Mopar lift on mine. Bought it with it already installed. For me, and my driving style as a daily driver, I am very happy with this lift. It rides great on the road with zero issues and we have taken long road trips without issue. It rides very much...
I bought an eBay grill a few months ago. Fit is spot on, but I had to assemble it myself and get it painted. The grill was around $175 and having it painted was another $200.
SJWGladiator, your Jeep looks great. Remember happy wife, happy life
Welcome, nice buy!
I would suggest spray-in bedliner and all weather mats to start with. I started out with a soft tri-fold Tonneau cover that I got off of FB marketplace. It worked well but wanted a low profile hard tri-fold for more security on our travels. Also wanted to access the entire...
The calibration should adjust the speedometer based on the new tire size if that's what you are asking. When comparing my speedometer reading with a GPS app, I am within 2 mph at highway speeds, right on at lower in-town speeds
Keep in mind that you should recalibrate for correct actual tire size with a programmer. I used Jscan. It allows your computer to readjust shift points for the tranny so it drives like normal as well as calibrates your speedo. Probably does a bunch of "other stuff" as well so your JT drives as...
