Your JTM is rejecting the winch mod LOL

Funny! That reminds me that I still need to tension the line...

When we modify shit we have to have a sense of humor right? Regardless of how much we plan, random shit happens

Got a Check Engine Light last Saturday... I was driving close to the dealer and decided to go and get it documented. In previous situations were the Check Engine light came on, by the time I got to the dealer, it was gone... I wanted it documented so I got there quickly and had them scan it and record it...

Made an appointment for today to address this... code showed Randon Misfire Cylinder 5. And what is the reaction of the service guy??? Oh, there is no check engine code... I got a little agitated... I shared my experience and that I had stopped Saturday just to make sure it was recorded/registered... he looked at my history and found the entry from the service rep from last Saturday... good...

I have had this since it had some 80 miles... then again at around 1700 miles... anyway, wanted to make sure I got it at least documented.

Turns out there was a software fix for it. I am hoping this addresses this issue and I will never see it again... fingers crossed.

I traded my Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison Diesel when it started giving emission issues... as soon I started seeing the check engine light and reading on the ongoing issues with misfires and camshaft issues, I was already starting to look at the Canyon AT4X and the new Tacoma Trail Hunter trim... I love this Jeep and I wanted one for sooooo many years, that I just want this to really be fixed so that I can have peace of mind... We will see...

Guys,
Looking at the Go Rhino XRS exactly like you both have, Also looking at the same thing in a Billie Bar setup and a Tuwa half rack that mounts to the T-slots. Question, How are the Go Rhino bars and mounts holding up off-road?
I read in another post that the welds broke on one of the mounts when off-roading.
Thanks

Using the Gladiator to move stuff from Orlando to Ocala...

And to finish the workshop...

I really like this Jeep!

I do not know enough on this subject... but I like these wheels:

Can't figure out the brand... When the time comes, this is what I want to go with... I want them to fit like the factory ones with some pizza cutters tires. So I will need to figure out correct off-set so I avoid any stick-out. Going with 255/85r17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs.

Those are Black Rhino Armory wheels.. but they only make them in a 17x9.5 for us.. thats a really wide wheel for a narrow tire.

Found them on TireRack... they show them available in 17x8... well, not immediately available, but soon...

I have time, not buying anything until it is time to replace the tires.

The 17x8 +30 will definitely work. Should keep a 255 tire pretty flush with the edge of your fender.. Those E rated tires though.. I had D's and didn't enjoy them, went back to a C and my kidneys appreciated it.

Forgot to ask... these would be like stock wheels, correct? Off-set wise? I really do not want any stick out.

Thank you for the confirmation. Not sure what to do with the tires... those seem to be the only ones with the correct size for the looks I want.

They will work, and if you don't plan on lifting the mojave, the bypass zone you have in the shocks should make it tolerable.. be sure to call MT and ask them with your setup what pressure to run.. it may be more than the door placard..

Will do. Thank you!! And correct, I do not plan to lift my Mojave.

Will do. Thank you!!

@Mightytalldude runs that exact tire. And I think MT told him to run pressures in the mid 40s, but I don't remember if his is a diesel.

I have the Gas 3.6. Call M/T give them the door tag info, the original tire size and your new M/T tire/size and they'll give you the correct pressure. I'm running 46psi per their info.
