    Tire weight

    I'm currently running 33" KO2 tires which weigh 63lbs. Want to go up to 35" tires KO2 which weigh 68lbs. 5lbs more can put more stress on parts. I do have an option to buy a General A/T similar to KO2 @ 63lb 35" tire and was wondering if that makes the most since for wear and tear and MPG or is...

    2013 JK Sport upgraded front axle

    I'm thinking of upgrading my front axle with with a Dana 44 assembly with 4.56 gears. I currently run 285 (33") tires and wanted to do some harder trails. Cost would be around $5,000. I would still retain the sport transfer case with 3.72 gears and was wondering for the cost is it worth doing to...

    285 vs 295 KO2

    Time to replace my tires on '13 JK Sport with 3.73 gearing. Currently run 285 and am happy with the performance. Was just wondering if I went with 295 (a tad increase in ground clearance) if I should re-gear or if its just better to stick with the 285's?

    JK Sport Dana 30 axle

    I have a '13 JK Sport and want to go up to 35" tires. I normally run 6-7 rated trails, nothing extreme. I'm on a 'tight budget' and want to know if it's worth regearing the 30 front axle or if I should really put in a 44? I plan to keep the Sport transfer case which will probably limit me on the...

    Are you happy with the JL on 35's with 4.10 gearing?

    Looking to buy a 2020 JL and wondering if 35" tires work well with the 4.10 gearing. Not planning on doing really hard core trails. Also trying for good gas mileage. Maybe 1 or 2 trips on the Rubicon would be by far the hardest run.

    JL vs Cheap new 2018 JK

    Went to the dealer the other day to look for a new 2020 JL. He has 3, 2018 brand new JK's for sale at $10,999 off MSRP. Are the new JL's worth the extra money or should I consider a cheaper new JK?

    Recommend re-gearing for 35" tires for JK Sport

    I have a '13 JK Sport with 33" A/T tires and am thinking of going up to 35" A/T tires (probably BFG KO2's). Since I have to drive a minimum of 200 miles to go off roading, gas mileage is becoming more important. What would be a good gear ratio to up-grade too for the best gas mileage and also...

    3rd time replacing tie rod ends

    I normally drive on washboard roads with my sway bar disconnected in two wheel drive. I do a little rock crawling but nothing major. So I was wondering if it would help my tie rod ends last longer if I DID NOT disconnect my sway bar? I'm only running 33" A/T tires with a 3.5" lift.

    Flat Tire - Replace one or two

    Recently got a flat tire and have a very old spare. Can I get by with one new tire or do I need 2 new tires for the same axle. Have about 20,000 miles on tires (A/T) but my current tire design is no longer available.

    Tire pressure death valley washboard roads

    I have a '13 2 door wrangler sport with 33'' tires I run at 35 psi on the highway, 20-25psi off roading. Last year off roading on washboards in DV (Death Valley) with the sway bars disconnected was a nightmare. Looking for suggests on how to make the ride smoother this year - recommended tire...

    BFG KO2 tire question D or E rated

    I drive 95% of time on the highway. However, the hardest trail I do is the rubicon and death valley (sharp rocks in places) once every other year. D would probably give me a better ride but I don't want to get a flat so would it be safer to run the E's?

    BFG KO2 tire question

    This question pertains to my JL Rubicon on order. It is my understanding that the weight of a tire really effects how fast axle parts wear out. If this is true would I get the same amount of wear and tear on the following tires; BFG KO2, 315 75R 16, 68lbs. width 10.2", height 34.5", rated E...

    Base price of JL Rubicon

    A dealer told me today the base price for a new JL Rubicon (2 Door) will start at $42,000. That would be $8,355 over a current 2018 Rubicon JK. For those of you who have seen a new JL in person do you think the new model is really worth that much extra? And if so why?:eek:

    13 Jk Sport upgrade to Dana 44 front axle

    Does it make since to up grade to a Dana 44 axle and keep my sport transfer case? Hardest trail I would take would be the Rubicon maybe once every other year. Really don't want to put in a used rubicon transfer case and new ones don't seem to be available.

    When to use 4x4 drive

    I normally keep my jeep in 2wd until I need to switch to 4h and then again 4l. Is this a good way to use 4wd or when I get on the dirt should I be in 4h etc.... Trying to put the least amount of stress on the drivelines and axles.
