You rich uncle died and said you could have the LUXE-GT Bronco ($666K) or any new Bronco, or $55K credit towards a new JL. Which one would you take and why? You can't sell what you're gifted. I'd take the $55K towards a JLUR. Keep in mind this scenario is just as likely to happen to you as...

I put a RK 2.5" lift kit on my JLR with 37" KM3's and bumpstops worked fine. Upgraded to 38x13.5R17 Nittos and had to add these $10 1/2" Bump Stop bolts on in the rear. Fixed the problem on one side but the other side the BS is split. I was thinking I'd replace both rear with these...

Sand pull that did the damage. R&P Now that we're not breaking axles, we broke the R&P Metal cutting, no eye protection to keep with the theme of dangerous pulls. 5.38 Yukon auto locker for D60 Grizzly auto locking for front only, in the back you need air. Torque wrench not required. That's...

Installed my Rugged Ridge Bumper, Stubby and 12 K superwinch today. BTW, both delivered to Hawaii for free and at a great price. Watched a few youtubes on the process. I did 12 winds, pulling back as hard as I could with one hand, maybe 60 lbs? I then hooked up the remaining line to my TJR up...

A guy in our group with a JLS and stick does about 80% of the lines the Rubicon folks crawl, but he bumps his JLS where we crawl. He loves to follow me and on the occasion I need to give it a 4 MPH bump, he's on the radio, can't crawl that line. He's only on half the runs because he's always...

For my JLR with JL 2.5 Inch Adventure System - TT lift, I measured 37 7/8" (37.875) What lift and DS length do you have?

@Beachcomber72 had an excellent recovery post which you can read by selecting the following link: I've frequently done light (less than what I estimate is 3,000 lbs) recoveries. What's the safe limit? The recovery expert, MattsOffRoadRecovery, frequently does low load reverse pulls such as in...

When I was young, I had no problem wheeling solo. Spent 3 days on one solo -self recovery. Eventually had to hitchhike back to town, grab my buddy, my dad's 4x4, and a hand winch. No biggie. Now I don't like to go anywhere with moderate difficulty solo - too many horror stories on this forum...

After breaking my front bead for the 3rd time (13.5 PSI) on factory wheels & 37" KM3's, I got RACELINE BEADLOCKs for $329 ea on BF. BTW, they look 10 x better in person than on the interweb. Also ordered a set of NITTO TRAIL GRAPPLER M/T 38X13.50R17LT Raceline support responded Tires beads...

The following comment on the Moab Off Road info page: I just found -R&c[0]=AT2gb9N-3T9vAqU_mJ2v4kGNPqDyaY3gHwHSqXFOQv_eoWxksgP04hZbzy1kVD3pppS8bJ77nwgHP09DbBKDy9RRYDamL4MQaIzLZvHo4ABcKxjqwZUHP3CEwxZodvBed3d5zg93H6w-y7h6tnNPSwPXFzYHtig_Jwn9GTM']Jeeptheusa.com and it had what I believe is a...

Stellantis' China Jeep JV will file for bankruptcy. Your dreams of a $25K made in China wrangler just went up in smoke. The improved Chinese made Jeep had the following cost saving: No more single ESS battery, now you get 3 small batteries and no full size. No hinges. No more hinge corrosion...

Hawaii is famous for red staining mud. I crawl through the mud and avoid it as much as possible and pressure wash my JLR as soon as I get home. The 3,300 PSI washer takes of 99% of the mud, but I still end up with many small stains. I've tried every type of solvent and what works best is a good...

I installed this SUPAREE for Jeep Tailgate Storage system today, very easy to install. I only used the rivet nuts on the top and two zip ties on the bottom. The zip ties are really easy to feed through. We only crawl, I neve send it, so the two zip ties should be fine. The ALL-TOP Spare...

I was lucky to get 37x12.5R17 KM3's at Costco and they're an amazing improvement over the stock 33" K02's. But the KM3's are short (35 13/16") and look really skinny. I can get 37x13.50R17 NITTO MUD GRAPPLERs that are probably 3" wider at the tread and 3/4" taller. I hate mud, mostly rock...

I've yet to break a bead in the rear, only in the front a couple times. It seems like the front is more likely to break. 37 KM3's with stock rims. I've marked all my J.T. Brooks Automatic Tire Deflators but I'm thinking 10 PSI in the rear is probably safer than 13 in the front. How To...

I would have bought this 2022 Wrangler Rubicon 392 - (D60/80 - Hemi - 40s) but it doesn't have a front camera. The owner claims ECGS makes the axles. I thought ECGS just resold other axles, but he claims they make axles in house. It's a pretty good price. For me, another major downside is the...

MOLLE bags seem to be the preferred tailgate storage. See also this thread. The SUPAREE for Jeep Tailgate Storage Bags seems to have more storage and flexibility.

My Uconnect 7" screen only goes up to screen 7, EDIT My Dash doesn't have the 8th screen. Per the manual the EVIC screen first needs to be in a state where it’s showing the AUDIO screen. I don't have an audio screen. All the youtube vides have the bigger screen and an 8th audio screen I don't have.
