Follow-up to my other review when they were new...
Size 315/70r17
After over 25k miles on the Firestone MT2, I will be buying them again. Still have life left in these but will replace within next few thousand miles.
Have been spot on in mud/trails/creeks, highway (noisy, duh), rain, and...
I wanted to mount mine on the bumper as you did but my issue with the KC's is the wiring. I would prefer a plug into the back of the light and not a short pigtail to connect to remaining wires. The wire connectors end up on the brushbar and not at the rear of the light or buried in the bumper...
Initially I installed with stock tires and stock steel bumpers. Right at 2".
After installing the aluminum bumpers, it raised slightly. Going to 35" tires raised it a bit more.
I would have trouble buying any used suspension from someone I did not know. Inspect it close. Hard to tell sometimes by looking at it. Check the shocks for signs of leaks/damage. Make sure springs are same on left to right. ETc..
After approx 2 years, 25k miles, and some hard trails, I would install this one again. Still very pleased with the street manners and trail handling. Running 35" tires.
The only other one I would consider is the AEV - lile the one on my other Jeep.
I made it an inch or two taller for more storage. The tweaks were most just an "adjustment" here and there to fit the tolerances of the space. Other than that followed the plans.
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...
