Had a chance to run the Firestone MT2's (315/70r17) in deep snow up a 19deg grade and on streets in recent sub 20F and snow storm. Have performed stellar.
Not like a dedicated snow tire but full confidence when driving.
Mine is faster than individually airing up/down. The biggest benefit is the convenience (and it makes all 4 tires same pressure). Used it quite a few times and it is worth it.
I miscommunicated. I meant just the cable and using an NMO mount and the correct antenna. I do not want to wire a new cable in place and just repurpose this one.
I am using handheld radios that I can switch back and forth with the JK and JL - as well as take with me in the field to aid in recovery. Using the Btech GMRSV1 (https://baofengtech.com/product/gmrs-v1/). Now looking for another option to hardmount a unit in the JL to get more power. Will...
Last year I ordered a Zeon10s and winch plate from Northridge. They promptly sent me two winches and no winch plate. All documentation showed one of each and I was charged for one of each. As far as Northridge was concerned they sent me one of each. I promptly called them and told them of...
Will that work with this cable? This is the one I am running. https://www.rightchannelradios.com/collections/cb-coax-cable/products/firestik-firering-cb-coax-with-fme
I have a CB mounted now but have switched over to handheld GMRS. Want to mount a GMRS set-up in the JL and be lazy by just using the existing antenna cable. Can use my CB cable and a GMRS antenna?
Just mounted a single ARB under the hood using the already there bracket (engine cover) that was shown in a video. Supper easy install with existing hardware and using the included hardware with the compressor. Rock solid and right next to the battery made wiring clean and easy.
Cannot speak to the Nitto but I have had two sets of KO2's. The set that came on my rubicon (33") and then went with them for 35". Changed out after 2-3 miles due to very poor mud traction and rock slinging. Switched to the Firestone Destination MT in 35". Love them on the trail. More...
@Zotch looks good - now get out and test it. they do not make you invincible but do give a little more warm and fuzzy knowing you can get out when you bury yourself
Lot of going back and forth on synthetic vs steel. Both have plusses and minuses. Some love steel and would not use anything else - some the other way. Personally, I have used synthetic for 5 years and will never go back. For me there are no downsides. Research and decide for your self...
I have the Rock Hard aluminum front and rear. Very strong. I have winched heavy stuff out of mud and no effects on the bumper. Have it on things and just scuffed. Besides being crazy light and strong - it will not rust. Expensive but worth it.
Operator error in not spooling correctly when installed. It needs to be pretensioned and spooled correctly so it will not cross itself and lock up. That is what one pic looks like it did.
The angle, mud, and water had nothing to do with it. These will work in much worse conditions than the...
