One issue is it contaminating your brake pads. Another consideration is the oil coating the inside of your wheel and collecting dirt which could cause balancing issues, though this would be less noticeable on the rear. And of course there is the smell! That being said, I drove for a couple of...

I looked long and hard at the 17" equivalent of tires but could only find them in an E load. How do they ride for you?

Vacuum should be highest at idle and therefore brake assist would be most noticeable at lower RPMs. Depending on how bad the brake booster is, you should have assist building over time but after pressing the brake pedal it would lose it quickly and return to a hard to press pedal. What you're...

Haha "you might be fast but I won't get stuck" I've always said I'd race anyone, but I get to choose the "track"

Hoping someone can help me find a video I came across that made me laugh but for the life of me can't find it again There's a guy that's on the side of a highway assessing damage on his Jeep. It starts off with him saying "on today's episode of how f'd up is f'd up" ... Then he shows the flat...

I've seen some people use something like this as a license plate holder too when they relocated their license plate

If the tires do turn out to be newer than expected, check them for any odd wear patterns like feathering as that can point to worn suspension components which can also cause speed sensitive shimmies (did in my case)

I recently went the other direction; 35s to metric 33s. I also swapped my Metalcloaks back to factory fenders. For grins, I put the 35 back on with my 2" SL and 1.25" BL just to see what it looked like. I can't say I'd recommend it.

I finally pulled the trigger and replaced my injectors. She starts instantly every. single. time now hot or cold. It also really smoothed out my idle; no more sputtering. I can't say I notice much change in the acceleration/power but that wasn't really a problem I was trying to solve. I'm happy 🤘

I had a lunchbox locker in my front axle. One snowy day I was in 4WD headed to work. Went to turn into the parking lot but kept going straight, so had to disengage 4WD to get into the parking lot. Lunchbox locker got replaced with a selectable shortly after that. On a wheeling trip in a bit...

I would personally put a 2-LO kit in. Sometimes it's handy to have that low gearing without locking the differential in

To be fair, I haven't been in a position to really stretch my Jeep's legs after the swap. I might need a little steering stop adjustment for day to day driving but nothing major. Not sure how it will perform under heavy articulation. My 35s with 3.75" of backspace would rub my sway bar and...

I had the same issue until I got hail damage and new paint on a new hood. I wonder why checking seems to be such a prevalent issue on our Jeeps though

What is the size stamped on the side of the tire these take-offs have on them? This is me with JK wheels, 1.25" adapter and 285/70R17 tires under my Sahara flares which are about and inch wider than Sport/X flares. 285 mm works out to about 11.25" wide A 255mm wide wheel would probably tuck...

I have purchased several CB mounts and drilled them out for NMO. For my ham antenna I'm using this little guy now:

What makes him think this? These engines are designed to run at a specific temperature for emissions, power and fuel efficientcy purposes. Trying to make the engine run cooler may trick the computer into staying in an open loop state meaning that it may be dumping more fuel into the engine...

I'll never forget a time where I watched an open/open TJ on 35s struggle on an obstacle for several minutes before finally making it up. I started sweating a little because I was next in line. I flipped on my front locker (I have a rebuilt factory Trac-lok in the rear) and I walked right up the...

If you're wanting something narrower in a metric tire, look for something that is a 285 or smaller. 285 is about 11.2" wide and 255 is going to be about 10" wide but I could only find those in E load, so that's something to watch out for. 285/70R17 works out to about 33x11.2 which is what I...

I've had my eye on the Bestop doors for a while. There's a bunch of accessories available for them https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001P24OF4/?tag=wranglerorg-20

The tires are 285/70R17 on JK 17"x7.5" wheels with 1.25" spacer/adapters I believe the JK wheels have a stock backspacing of 6" but with the 1.25" adapters it gives them an effective backspace of 4.75
