Money Pit Monday

[SadRobot]

Yep. I kinda wish I could've gotten manual windows; I'm indifferent to manual locks.

I think I'm the opposite. I don't mind the power windows now but could go either way on it. I don't like the power locks because now I have to carry around this big key FOB everywhere. I'd rather just have my small Jeep key.

ive noticed the parts are more expensive when they know you have a rubicon. From suspension to tires to oil. Its the rubicon tax!

Does a Sport S come with power locks also?

Yup sure did. Not reason I got it was power locks. And I couldn’t find a sport with crank windows

Only cyber Monday purchase was new 39s for the wife's Jeep. Sticking with the kanati mud hogs as they are half the price of the bfg 39s. Got 30k out of the last set, not great but not terrible for an MT. I guarantee I wouldn't see 60k miles out of the overpriced bfgs to bring them to the same cost.

I have 39" BFG Moab Edition KO2s. The sticky rubber compound is fantastic on slickrock but will wear out fast. I know I won't get 30k miles out of them. And they are only "mostly round", which can be felt at times on-road. How are the Kanati Mud Hogs off road and on road? Are they round? Do they balance out well? How loud are they at 80 mph?

They balance pretty well. Great off road, decent on. Even in the rain I'd say they are no worse than the factory 35" ko2s they replaced. Definitely not sticky tire good in the rocks but as good as any other standard MT. At $314 each they are a bargain.

Same, both cause I like the clean hood look and the red/green just didnt work for me.

Wow $314 for a 39” tire. That is cheap.
did you truss the axles or do anything to beef them up?

HD ball joints in otherwise stock XR axles. The 10mm tubes seem to be holding up well. Jeeps just over 50k miles so far.
