Unless you are tackling the obstacle courses off mccray road. Then there are some very challenging obstacles at any psi.

Check/ change the cabin air filter. The filter being dirty is amazingly restrictive.

I'm guessing 100% of the "not with 3.73 gears" crowd have never run 35s with them? The diffrence between 4.10s and 3.73s is slight at best. The JLU is only a few hundred pounds lighter and comes with 3.45s and 32's. That's nearly identical to running 35s and 3.73s. If you want to know how it...

Just because they teach doesn't mean they don't do dumb shit. Ride will be shit, they won't get any longer tire life. The fuel economy will still suck (its poor aerodynamics not tire pressure). Butt they can get by with it on road and off road when traction isn't bad... until it is. They didn't...

Triangulated 4 link rear from rock krawler. I was amazed how bad the head toss was hitting bumps and dips at an angle with the stock suspension. Almost non-existent with the triangulated uppers that are much longer than the stock. The suspension geometry stock is a joke. The lowers are nearly...

I wonder why we are all stuck with auto-park when you open the drivers door without your seat belt on... what could go wrong?

Running lockers when there's no need is more damaging to the trail if you aren't driving in a straight line as they cause slip in turns. It's the same reason I hate Fords trail turn assist. You're tearing up the trail when you don't need to. If the trail causes wheel slip, I'll put it in 4wd...

Which is just as improper as shifting into neutral. Gotta love the manual guys trying to imply some superiority while demonstrating that the auto does it better than they do...

I loved my old waggys. That said, the 360 could use some breathing help in stock form. I know it sounds crazy to drop $1300 into a $2500 rig out the gate, but this combo really wakes up the AMC motor. Being you need carb work anyway, this is the route I'd go...

In reality you can run anything from 23 psi to 50 psi and not see much of a difference in wear. The difference in ride and bump handling on the other hand is night and day. We run 37-39" tires on both Jeeps and never air up beyond 25psi unless towing a heavy trailer. We drove all the way home...

I'll take the 20% loss to not lug a heavy snatch block that can destroy the winch line if it slips. The potential friction loss is one of the reasons I run a 13.5k pound winch on the JT. Most times I won't need a double line pull. If I do I've still got 21k+ pounds of pull force after the 20%...

The amount of mods and the cost are the huge difference. Winch, 2" spacer lift, and 37s and you're good to go. Granted I got a screaming deal on the new 37s from Walmart.com so that skews the cost. They were $400 and being that the stock 33s only had 1100 miles on them I sold them for $600...

Slickrock is damn near the grippiest surface you'll ever wheel on. The easy trails in moab might as well be paved roads. Show me the 2wds and stock tacomas or Broncos on the rubicon trail or an actual hard trail in moab like Pritchett canyon or even cliffhanger. Show me the built ones on...

Assuming you aren't changing the shocks, you won't need to change bump stops as they are already set up from the factory to prevent bottoming. If you add shock extensions then you'll likely need to add bump stop.

Or 2? Despite what Ford or Toyota want you to believe, there is 0 competition out there for a serious wheeler. That said, I don't even go back to the dealer for the free oil changes. Can't be disappointed by their services if you never use them. Fortunately at 180k+ miles between the 2 JLs...

Not to make light of the situation or the bs dealership, but under 10mph under load...in 2nd gear? Sounds like user error causing the failure in the first place. The v6 makes peak torque at ~4200rpm and peak hp >6200rpm. There's no benefit to lugging it around at 2k rpm, which is why you'll...

Assuming by block height you mean coil bind, none of them are hitting that before the bump stops anyway. No a larger wire spring cannot be softer than a smaller wire one unless the smaller wire one is into actual coil bind, which makes the spring rate effectively infinite as you cannot compress...

Sort of true, but not nearly as much as people think when it comes to off the shelf shocks. Companies like JKS sell their kits with a choice of off the shelf shocks from cheap to fox 2.0s to fox 2.5 elites... none of which are custom tuned. Clayton, metalcloak, and rock krawler do similar and...

Stock? Mine are long gone, but the pictures from mopar show a single rate.

The stock Mojave rear coils are 170lbs/inch. Load up 500lbs constantly (250lbs per side) and you're down ~1.5" from stock. Add another 400 lbs as you mentioned and you're down another 1.2". By that math alone if you get a longer spring with similar spring rate you'd need a 3" spring to look like...
