no problem. nittos have m/t. i havent looked into or ran them. but a couple of guys in my neck of the woods loves them. i cant recall how well they are as for mileage. i'm thinking that they would wear pretty good.
I’ve had all the Nittos at various times. I ran the Mud Terrains on my F250. Very good Offroad but Pretty loud.

Thanks for the reminder. I picked up a Pittsburgh 3 ton aluminum floor jack.

Not to rain on your parade, but that one doesn’t have enough lift if your Jeep is lifted at all. The heavy steel Daytona one does. You have to check the maximum lift height.

Hoping for 15% (or more) + free shipping this year for BF, because COVID. Hint, hint...
@Metalcloak @CloakedJL ;)
The problem is, COVID doesn’t seem to be hurting sales anywhere except the service/restaurant/travel related industries, and discounts are offered to increase sales. What if they’re already struggling to meet demand? The vehicle and accessory economy appears to be booming, at least where I live. I had some service done at a local RV dealer and they had nearly sold out of inventory. They sold 13 RVs in one weekend, which was a record for that small dealership, and they are struggling to replace their inventory. That never happens in the fall. The experience has been similar at the BMW motorcycle dealer, the Honda-Yamaha-Kawasaki dealer, the Ford dealer, the Jeep/Dodge dealer, the Polaris dealer, the Kubota dealer, and theToyota dealer. I’ve never seen anything like it. Friends who are carpenters and electricians are slammed too, and Home Depot and Lowes are always packed. I can’t reconcile what I’m seeing with what the media is telling me about the economy,

RVs have been selling well because families are taking self-contained vacations, by necessity.

Riding a motorcycle gets around even the strictest Stay at Home orders because the rider is socially distanced in all circumstances (voice of experience here). I'd be surprised if the industry's 2nd Qtr sales figures didn't markedly increase, compared to the same period in 2019.

I'd posit that the vast expansion in working-from-home arrangements has given rise to increasing numbers of homeowners that have less patience with home improvement and/or repair work that should be done, but hasn't been, now that they're staring at it every day. That'd lead to more demand for tradesman to do the work, and/or DIYers schlepping the aisles at the Big Box stores.

But for mask edicts and early/temporary shortages of certain consumer goods at the grocery stores, Life has continued on in a manner that was and is in sharp contrast with the Chicken Little pronouncements in print and electronic media.

I’ve liked the performance pretty well, just not the wear pattern. Not sure what I’ll do on the next set
I just about died today because of their poor traction on wet pavement. I pulled out to cross traffic, The pavement was damp, the XJ overwelled the traction and lit the tires up. I thought I was going to get hit by on coming traffic. Luck was with me and everyone slowed down to the XJ could get out of the way.

Have you run any tires other than the Patagonia tires on your Jeep?

Every thing that I go to order has a disclaimer about shipping due to covid. It took almost two months to get my Jeep JL/JT High-Line Fender Brace with Daytime Running Lights. Their web site still says Now Shipping....... and when I ordered the site stated usually ships in 4 days. Sure would have been easier to install in August vs October.......

At least when I called them, they answered the phone and was truthful.

Yeah, I had Nitto Ridge Grapplers and they were fine but I think the rain performance is better with the Patys. The ridge grapplers threw water directly onto the windshield. Lol

Offroad is no comparison. The Patys are superior

Put me down for this thread. I'm looking for Factor 55 equipment deals, as well as some Rigid lights, and maybe even an ARB compressor.
