I just went from 315/70r17 BFG KO2 to 37x12.5x17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/T. Used a decibel meter app and the old tires were 63-64db, the new ones were 64-65db, both at 70mph. The new ones were a little lower frequency too. Very pleased with how little noise they added.
Hey welcome. Can't verify the axles but regarding the ARB covers - make sure before you start the install that the bolts are the correct thread pitch. Had one come with the wrong bolts, not fun when the factory cover is already off. You do need to mark the dipstick since the fill port is on...
Are you feeling the symptoms or hearing them? The other day I was hearing it at the same times as you (park ā> R/D) and it turned out this bolt holding the transmission cooler lines had backed out. In my case it was pounding a hole into that silver belly pan mount.
Of course tightening the...
Just had Discount Tire warranty out two tires (cut sidewall and unable to balance after they plugged). Used the opportunity to go up a size.
Very even tread wear, 5 tire rotation, rotated every 3500. 30k on Jeep -20% = estimate of~25k miles per tire. All very close to 8mm or 10/32 tread...
Personally I wouldnāt use a bolt holding the seat belt. I wouldnāt want to compromise that connection.
Iād go to the tub near where it is mounted, drill a hole, scuff the paint off, put in a bolt and ring terminal, then cover it with silicone or RTV when I was done.
I had a ticking sound myself but fortunately it only happened on the passenger side with the top open. I listened the bolts enough that I could run a pipe cleaner with glycerin on it between the top and roll bar. Then I tightened the bolts to spec which, I donāt remember at the moment. Itās...
Thatās what @Artec told me via email too so I put them on. Iām not 100% comfortable with the amount of thread past the bolt though. This is the LCA to axle, the shock bolt looks the same way
Is that the only reason you dropped the axle? I think Iād like to put those in too but leaning towards spring compressors. Let us know how you like them.
You wouldn't happen to recall what size bolts you got for the rear LCA skids would you? I'm probably going to have to order something, local stores have bad selection on hand.
I added the mopar hitch receiver after the fact and I had to take out the two bolts going into that spacer. I then put in the receiver, reused those two bolts and two additional bolts (sorry donāt know the dize).
I do have steel bumpers and Iām not sure if the plastic bumper is set up the same...
I think the 3.0TD is the EcoDiesel. Is the 3.0TT the inline six big brother of the 2.0T?
Also curious about the color coding. The diesel has 3.73 gears, does that change the regear/don't regear question for those?
Edit: I re-read this thread from the beginning and I think the consensus is to...
Hey those look good! When you have a few minutes could you get a few more pics? I'd like to see how they mount underneath and from the top down between the slider and the body.
