For many cars the cost of a dedicated set of winter tires is less than the insurance deductible in the event of an accident. Thus, dedicated winter tires are cheap insurance.

Wreckdiver is correct. I'm pretty sure the JKU is lighter than a Pathfinder and several variants come standard with E rated tires from the factory. I rolled a set of 10th factory equipped 19th Anniversary KM2 E rated tires for a couple of years without issue.

I was digging the earlier version with the mesh closure. I was thinking about mate covering the diamond plate with a cutting board anyways.

I have a friend with an Fj80 that is flat black above the belt line and Bed-liner below, looks bad-*** but I bet his AC works a lot harder than mine does. I know another guy who had a shop paint his pick up in olive drab liner type material and it looks amazing. Me, I'd spray it with something...

Looking forward to this one!

Why so small? a 265/70R17 is only 1/3" shorter than the factory 255/75s.

Leverage is also a factor to consider.

Yeah, that's all well and good until you start going through multiple P-Metrics on the same trip, as evidenced in this trip report. ONE guy had multiple tire issues, the guy rolling stock P-Metrics. http://wayalife.com/showthread.php?22587-2014-WAYALIFE-Death-Valley-Adventure-Photo-Highlights

Sounds like you've already made up you mind on the tire since it's the only one you keep bringing up, as for the price difference between P and LT, your tire retailer and installer is going to be the most accurate information provider.

Agreed, a great video that answered every question I had about the product.

If one airs their tires down off road, as they should, 3-ply E-rated tires have no issue forming around obstacles, and flex just fine. Just because a tire has 65-85PSI on the sidewall doesn't mean you have to run at those pressures. It's is when aired down that P-rated, tires really show their...

Pretty much. As for 15", it's easy enough to get a 17" rim to fit near anything.

Glad I could help.

They don't look like any factory JK wheel I've ever seen and they look small, 16" maybe? P-Metric and not LT tires? Also, what axle ratio are you running? A tow package should have set you up with at least a 3.73.

Curious, what are the size of those aftermarket tires and wheels on your Jeep?

There are scissor jacks, and then there are scissor jacks. The one I recommended is nothing like your factory jack. Again, bottle jacks are great, IF you can get them underneath the needed jack point.

A block heater spreads enough radiant heat to prevent motor oil from congealing down past -40. Just idling an engine a few moments at subzero temps before driving warms the ATF and Power steering fluids enough that both systems function fine. Operating in -40 and below is well within the...

Knowing what kind of truck being jacked up would help but for just about anything I have found the HMMWV Heavy-lift scissor jack will lift about anything and it compresses to about 6" high. Bolt a piece of 12" square diamond plate to the base and you have a very stable base. Bottle jacks are...

I have a D90, a D200, and am eyeing a D300 for work usage (I pick up old bodies for work, where I am really hard on them. I don't see anything about the D7100 that'd make me want to run out and get one over a D7000.

Of the choices you name, the block heater is the best of them. Combine the use with synthetic motor oil and you'll be good to go.
