  1. Lighter Wheels vs. Heavier Wheels?

    I am looking at a couple different wheel options for my new 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers to go on my 2020 Rubicon. One of them is the SCS K5 which is 25 lbs. and the other is the Raceline 949 7X which is 32 lbs. How much difference would I feel between these 2 different wheels on 35" Ridge...
  2. Method 'Bead Grip' Wheels vs. Non 'Bead Grip'?

    Thanks for the reply. So I guess the question is, if I'm off road and airing down to 15 psi or so, how likely am I to have issues with a 'regular' non-Bead Grip and non-Bead Lock wheel?
  3. Method 'Bead Grip' Wheels vs. Non 'Bead Grip'?

    I've got a 2020 Rubicon and I am looking for some after market wheels to mount my 35x12.50.17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on. It will be only rarely that I will be airing down as low as 12-15 psi when playing off road in the rocks or snow or whatever. It was suggested to me that I get some of the...
  4. JL aftermarket wheel questions - quality vs price, backspacing, etc?

    That looks great to me. But in addition to knowing the offset, isn't it important to also know the proper backspacing? What is your backspacing?
  5. JL aftermarket wheel questions - quality vs price, backspacing, etc?

    Thanks for the info! That wheel backspacing/poke looks perfect to me and just the way I would want to do it.
  6. JL aftermarket wheel questions - quality vs price, backspacing, etc?

    That's good advice. I would only buy 35's for now if I found a good deal on some used ones, knowing that the eventual end-goal would be some 37's. So I was thinking used 1/2 price 35's and decently affordable wheels now, then the lift and 37's and the same wheels later (and then selling the 35's...
  7. JL aftermarket wheel questions - quality vs price, backspacing, etc?

    I've currently got stock wheels and tires on my 2020 Rubicon and am starting to look into aftermarket wheels and tires. I'm thinking about 17" wheels that I could put 35x12.50's on for now and then eventually put 37x12.50's on them someday when I'm ready to spend the money on a good 2.5" or so...
  8. Why are roof-top tents so popular?

    Do you pull the travel trailer with your Jeep? What length/size is it? Even if moving to a different place every night, I would think it wouldn't take that much extra time to set up a tent on the ground, and it would probably have more space, and then the Jeep would be free to use still, as well...
  9. Why are roof-top tents so popular?

    That's what I was thinking - bears and snakes!
  10. Why are roof-top tents so popular?

    I know that roof-mounted tents are extremely popular with Jeep owners who like to overland. I was just curious why so many people use them instead of using a regular tent on the ground? I would think that it would be nice to be able to set up a camp and still be able to go out exploring with the...
  11. Toyo Open Country R/T 35x12.50x17's?

    Ya I know that AT's do better on compact snow and ice than MT's. But I want something more aggressive than an AT, not only for looks, but also for when I am off road in the rocks :)
  12. Toyo Open Country R/T 35x12.50x17's?

    I found a set of 4 for $1000. I live in a small town in the Pacific NW and am on the pavement 90% of the time, so want something that drives decently on the street in town and highway (not excessively loud or rough). My Jeep is now my daily driver. In the winter months, we have compact snow and...
  13. Toyo Open Country R/T 35x12.50x17's?

    I've been watching around our area for a good deal on some used but low mileage 35" tires to put on my 2020 Rubicon. What is the general consensus on these tires for Jeeps? Like many people, my Jeep is my daily driver and only gets occasional off road use. Thanks.
  14. Rear Cargo Area Security Cover/Storage Rack?

    That is my old Jeep and it's kind of hard to see the rear cargo cover here - I had a dog bed that kind of sat down into it - so there was like a lip or raised edge around the outer perimeter that helped hold things in place. Ideally, it would be nice to find something similar to this old one I had.
  15. Rear Cargo Area Security Cover/Storage Rack?

    Thanks for the reply. Ya I've seen that and it is a bit pricey. The one that was on my old JK had a slightly recessed shelf bottom so it helped keep stuff from sliding around. It also didn't cover the entire width of the Jeep, just the width of the cargo space inside the wheel wells. Ideally I...
  16. Rear Cargo Area Security Cover/Storage Rack?

    I have a 2020 4 door Rubicon and I'm looking for some sort of metal cover or rack that will cover the cargo area behind the back seat so that when I have the hard top off, people can't reach in and steal my stuff in there. I've seen a couple options out there, but I'm ideally looking for one...
