I'm probably going to 37's after my 35's wear out but I just added a Rugged Ridge Spartan Full Width bumper and Badlands Apex 12000lb winch to mine and my MPGs went from 18.4 to 19.1 in the last week since installing them. It's really got me second guessing if I want to mess with the performance or not. I like the look of 37's but the Jeep is really doing well right now. I pretty much drive the same routes 6 days out of the week for work 50/50 Hwy/City

No reset on the computer since I put the tires and lift on at 400 miles.

That sounds cool, so same thing as the Pedal Commander right?

I really want a Tuner, especially if I decide to go down the hamburger route.
Yes, basically, but the iDrive is smaller, and more adjustable.

Nope, not at all. Tires don’t last forever. There’s always the next set. If you decide you want bigger get them next time. Happy trails!
At the rate I am going of 40k miles a year I will need new tires in 6 months, err a year (Falken M/Ts dont have a warranty rating but I doubt they will last as long as the A/Ts rated at 55k miles)

Oh boy i couldn’t contain myself just got Nitto Trail Grapplers 37/12.5/17 D , regear next week very surprised how well it moves even with 373 gears. That 8 speed makes a huge difference.

2017 Mustang GT Performance Pack 6-speed... Trust me, I feel your pain. This Jeep feels anemic to me, as well... Wish they had offered a 5.7 Hemi option minimum...Prefer 6.4 for Rubicon. As much as these things cost, they should have a V8 in them.
I've driven a lot of fast cars in my time and it's a big adjustment for me switching to a slow truck. Even my current ride, an F150 3.5Eco has a tonne of power. I wish Jeep went with the 5.7 Hemi, I bet the mileage wouldn't be any worse and you would get way more power. That said, can't wait for my JT to show up.

It’s fun, and it’s quick (for what it is), but don’t expect a monster. :like:

Yep, a hemi would be the only way I'd trade mine in. For what it is though, a mid size truck, my Max tow does everything I need it to do. Plus coming from a 2010 JKU this thing feels like a race car but not even close to my 2017 Mustang 5.0 or my 2017 BMW 440i hardtop convertible. But hey, 19 MPGs on 35's ain't bad at all:like:
