Starting over again for the last time 2016 jku rubicon hard rock

I’ll give the starting over but this is def not the last time lol. I give you 2 years on this one since the Jeep mod market is vast and deep.

2 years for me with a vehicle is a lifetime

Oddly curious why you don’t like toyo mt? One of the best tires on the market. Especially for a heavier rig.

heavy , loud , any vehicle I’ve driven with them always has a wondering feeling no matter how good the alignment is , lots of vibration when turning at low speeds . Best tire on the market I would really have to say no to . Their AT tire is great but the MT has always been so so IMOP. Lots of better tires on the market . And I wouldn’t call a jeep a heavy rig . I have to run them at 28 psi to keep them running flat and true .

By heavier rig I mean like 3/4 ton diesel. Maybe that’s why I don’t see the same
Complaints you have. I’ve never had them on a lighter vehicle.
And I would disagree with your at statement, I hate those tires ?

not trying to argue, everyone has different likes. I was just curious.

Headed up in the hills to cook some food by a creek , go get some wine and attempt to watch the sunset but Mother Nature had other ideas .

 

[Smileyshaun]

Have been working on getting a little more storage space inside the rig with some little pockets and these bags that hang on the rear rollbar . The bags actually fit quite a bit of stuff so far I have
Tool roll
Socket set
Tow strap
Clevis
Change of clothes
Flashlights
Rain gear
Hats/gloves
Blanket

Doing some cleaning out in the garage and came across this folding shelf I had made and got me to thinking , how much room would it take up to make a folding tailgate table that my stove could be mounted to , let’s call this version 1.0

Best offroad tires I have ever used.

yes off-road they are fantastic, on a light rig not so good at DD work .

I loved mine for just that reason. Plenty out there off the shelf or inspiration for DIY

Took a little after work drive to go sit by a creek and enjoy a beer and to just get out of the house for a bit.

Got the lift on after a little fiddling with the way to long of bump stop everything works way better now

 

[Smileyshaun]

Headed out on Father’s Day to do a little exploring, found some great views and some testing of the suspension. Works so much better than stock at soaking up bumps .

Definitely need to swap tires here soon .For one I don’t care for toyos or MT tires for that matter and I could use a few less rpms on the freeway to probably gain a mpg or two View attachment 663156View attachment 663157

That's a lot of RPMs for the speed. Manual? I think mine is doing around 75+ at 2500 with the auto. I'm also not getting anything remotely close to 20mpg either... When it was stock, 22mpg on a few trips. That's a distant dream now.

no it’s a auto also . I think it has 4.10s so that should be part of the problem
