I understand your view, truly… but I am also assuming you’re in perfect health and while I’ve owned many trucks both lowered (Tacoma XRunner) and lifted up to 8”, I am also a post cancer survivor so even the littlest jarring can be taxing on my nervous system. If you read most of what’s been...

I considered Westcott but their times are 4-5 months out. I finally got a chance to run by my shop and put the 285s against my stock height 4G, it’ll definitely be taxing on turning radius but just sitting static, it should be fine. I might just leave them alone (crash bars)… But definitely...

here’s the funny thing: I ran Mickey Thompsons on my JLR for awhile, they are marketed as “35s”, however, if you look at Mickey’s page… 34.5 and a width of 12.8. Is this deceptive? Apparently a lot of companies round up, even under full inflation of 50psi, I essentially was only a 33.5-33.8 at...

so I went to the dealership and the technical advisor gave me a few tidbits that might help… the first option is to remove the “ECU-DCM Fuse 1” under the steering column fuse box. This will disable it instead of just toggling the steering wheel controls and using the gauge cluster. He showed me...

I have tomorrow off and plan to have the tires and wheels mounted and tossed on… this might climate this all together. Now to disengage the PCS permanently… still hating that I have to disengage that every time I drive. While that’s a great safety feature, even turning it down to the lowest...

I might have to try the sand bag trick. I met a local 4G owner and he also came from the Jeep life… he said that the simple transition from solid axles to IFS was a learning experience. He saw the JLR back when I had it and said because of the shorter wheel base, the fact I had about 300lbs...

E and they advised to run 36-38psi. When I ran Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs, they can handle up to 50psi but I always ran 38-40 on road and down to 28 off road, sometimes dropping to 12-15 on very harsh terrain. I am hoping the lower pressure than the 265s they have at 40-42psi (but have...

Thank you! I was fortunate to have operable cancers. Two of them were “invasive squamous cell carcinoma” on my head no less… that’s one of the major reasons why I left the Jeep life. Hard to have a convertible SUV when the “pressure” to take the doors and roof off is the go-to for most owners…...

truly considered it but much like my JLR, most off roaders come with the “factory squat” so even a simple leveling kit to bring the front up not only looks aesthetically pleasing but when I test fitted the 285s and removing the “crash bar” (behind the front tires on the frame), it won’t turn...

I just bought my 4G about a month ago and even though I am happy with it as it sits and rides, very rarely have I kept anything stock for long. Even the first week, prior to delivery, I had new wheels and tires (Motegi Trailite with 285/70R17 Rodge Grapplers), full audio (4 Memphis MJP6 6.5”...

I’ve owned my 4G for about 3 weeks and have been sitting on a few upgrades (purchased and in my garage, begging for a few days off to build). I am on the fence about doing a leveling kit or just a low lift (2.5-3”) with a few different brands like ReadyLift, RC, Eibach, etc. While I am far from...
