I don't see no wheels and tires on that list.
Uh, where beadgrips on list? I dun see none.
Come on guys. You know I'd bring my methods over with the 35" Mickey Thompsons.... But with the four door I'd have to sell the 35's and buy another set of 37's from NR4x4. 😂


I'm curious have you had any issues with the clutch or transmission ? I like mine, but again I dont tow or do any technical low speed wheeling.
I try not to jinx myself, but no. Wanderer has been a solid beast.

Aside from the freaking terrible 2 door seats that always seem to bust and not fold back... (which after the last fix I just avoid folding them forward)... and the UConnect 4 8.4" stereo that constantly fights with my iPhone and goes into a reboot loop of doom at random times... and the deep mistrust I have in the regear I got from the nearby shop...

I can't complain. She's always been far more capable than I on trails I would have thought I'd have to pull line on.

I really don't want to give up the engagement you get with a manual, but there have been many times that I'm reminded of how much of a after thought the manual transmission was for Jeep this time around. I believe the clutch is rated for 280 lb ft of torque while the motor puts out 270? That's just BS on any level of engineering. Garbage hydraulics makes me believe if I tow anything more than the load of mulch back from Home Depot I'm just asking for trouble.

So I guess I just don't trust it not to fail at a really bad time.

I could always sell the trailer again, but I do so like the option to do truck things.

Okay let me say the 4 doors and all their advantages do keep calling.

But Wanderer keeps on impressing me.

Did some wet and wild runs and she just straight made things feel easy. Not doing buggy runs, but yeah. 🤷‍♂️ 🎃
