I took my off 35" Duratrac and 17" Moto Metal rim last week and couldn't believe the difference in power from ditching the extra weight.

That's the equivalent of, what...a 12 year old in your passenger seat? I'm all for keeping weight down but I don't think my butt dyno would detect that.I took my off 35" Duratrac and 17" Moto Metal rim last week and couldn't believe the difference in power from ditching the extra weight.
Rotating mass affects acceleration and braking differently than payloadThat's the equivalent of, what...a 12 year old in your passenger seat? I'm all for keeping weight down but I don't think my butt dyno would detect that.
Lol, if he's talking about the spare than I'll stand downYou do realize D60's talking about the spare tire, right?
Not sure 847s comment was about the spare or changing all 4 wheels/tires....when I read it, I took it as the spare as well. Considering he didn't say what he replaced them with, I think it's safe to assume he meant the spare.
I'll let him clarify if he wants.......
not a bad price for what youre getting IF theyre made by a reputable brake manufacturer. im sure Teraflex is outsourcing production of those. could be a cheap Chinese brand; seems like it at that price, especially considering teraflex than slaps their profit/mark up on it. and they use proprietary brake pads which id never want. you can only source them from Teraflex. what happens if they stop making them or the company goes out of business? and you cant just go to pep boys and grab some pads. thats a reason im not a fan of wilwoods. i have brembos on my mustang. i can get pads from numerous suppliers made by numerous manufacturers.
The pads that are used in that kit are Toyota pads that can purchased from just about anywhere.I recall reading somewhere that the Teraflex kit uses Ram pads, front and rear. But now I can't find it. It might be worth a call to Teraflex to find out. I agree with your sentiments that Teraflex is good at outsourcing and / or rebranding.
Obviously without his clarification, we are commenting on what we think he is referring to. I read it to mean his spare as well, since the tire and wheel he spoke of was written in a singular nonplural form.Lol, if he's talking about the spare than I'll stand down
What color is that? I really like it!
So you're, say, 4900ish?It's real easy to add weight to these things. This is what mine weighs with just me in the driver seat. Add in a passenger and you'd be right at the GVWR (5,350lbs).
This is a '20 model with manual transmission and cloth interior.

Curious how you got there? Based upon gravel yard scales that's almost exactly where my JLUR is with 38's, MC GC lift and stock alloy wheels and plastic bumpers.
All I can figure is your wheels, bumpers and maybe skidplates underneath? Not bashing you, just surprised to see a 2 door weigh what my 4 door does (my weight was including tools and stuff I usually carry EXCEPT my ARB cooler 'cause I don't really consider that a permanent fixture)
