    Wrangler Tire Size - Overland, Trail, and Other

    I found them on a major tire company's website. Maybe there's just a shortage because they do limited runs of them. Couldn't we expect the price of the KO2s to come down to KO1 prices once they're old news?

    Gotcha. Sounds like you need a more serious crew to roll with ;) I'm eyeing an inreach or Spot myself. And I mights steal your peel and seal technique for the sound bar. Keep the mods coming.

    Wrangler Tire Size - Overland, Trail, and Other

    There seems to be a mix of usages on here. From all street but want an off road look. To 37s on a dedicated trail rig. I drive about 10,000 miles a year and about 3000 of those miles or more are for off road trips. Which are mostly highway. But I use the jeep off road at least once a monh and...

    I bet the price will come down once the newness wears off.

    TrekboxX drawer system for JK idea thread

    This is funny. Trekboxx helped me buy my Jeep. Paul Gardner was picking up a set of trekboxx drawers from you in San Jose the same day I was buying the last granite JKUR with tan leather in San Jose. He gave me a ride to the dealer from LA. I'll have to get up to date in this thread and see what...

    Wrangler Tire Size - Overland, Trail, and Other

    Why do you all think between a 285/75r17 BGF MT KM2 rated D hopefully and a 315/70r17 BFG AT KO2? I've read that they're essentially the same size and the same weight. The 315/70 is slightly wider. But which do you all think would yield better fuel economy and highway manners? I'm wondering if...

    Wrangler Tire Size - Overland, Trail, and Other

    Check out what size the 10th anniversary edition came with. They ran km2s. Another option would be a 255/80r17 which is about an inch taller but also works without spacers and is a similar weight.

    Nice progress! Why the CB instead of a HAM?

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    I think the Teraflex Hinge limits how far the tailgate opens. But we'll see. It's not really a deal breaker.

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    Yeah I've seen that before. Not sure why that guy needs 8 gal of gas in moab anyway. But his sticks out farther since it's on a swing out and I rarely encounter angles that extreme. I think mounting them up a bit higher would also help solve that.

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    That's a good point about the Teraflex. Even with that I could easily carry 8 gallons in rotopax where the hi-lift would normally go. I'm not sure why no one else has tried that. You just need an L bracket that can bolt to he carrier. Plus I have the Vector Exo Rack which can hold another 4...

    A spout is definitely the way to go. I didn't use any water out of my can over an 11 day trip because getting it out of the holder was such a pain. I added this spout to my $25 LCI water can and now I use it all the time. Best $13 I've spent on overlanding stuff...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    I keep going back and forth as plans change. I think I'm going to keep the hilift, shovel and axe mounted inside using the dominion off road roll bar mount. I'm adding on to it to be a long gun rack also. And I'm now using the overhead space in the second row for light camping stuff like...

    And I'm with you. I like the newer rubicon wheels especially on my granite jk.

    Wrangler Tire Size - Overland, Trail, and Other

    Thanks MSTN. Quadratec just told me they weigh 25lbs. Same as their Moab style wheels. Sounds like that's about right. I was hoping there's were lighter to justify selling my stock tires and wheels. And replacing them with their Moab style 4.5" back spaced wheels running 315/75r17 BFG AT KO2s...

    Anyone know her much the 2013+ and 10A wheels weigh? The Moab style ones weigh 25lbs.

    Wrangler Tire Size - Overland, Trail, and Other

    That's where my head is at. Even though my wallet and wife haven't caught up yet. 12.5 just seems kind of wide to me. And 10.5 seems too skinny. But those 34x10.5s would solve a lot of problems. You could run them on stock wheels without spacers and without beefing up the front axle. I can...

    Educate me: 100 vs 200 series to replace my jeeps

    0-60 doesn't matter. But it's indicative of other performance metric that do matter. Plus it just Makes it more fun to drive. I looked up the time on my JKUR the the other day. It's faster than those fast SUVs from the mid2000s (RRS). But I guess I one cares now that everything is adequately fast.

    Did you upgrade the front axle to run that much weight and the 35s on steelies?

    Wrangler Tire Size - Overland, Trail, and Other

    I daily drive my Jeep but it's mostly in West LA stop and go traffic where even my wife's Elantra gets 18mpg. So I'm not too concerned about city mpg. But ruining your highway mpg can really start making 4x4 trips expensive. I'm trying to find a tire that'll allow me to do 6 rated trails but...
