We just use the factory jack and a block of wood. Wood is great for not slipping and allowing various spacer heights. Only used it a couple times in two years. No way would I give up cargo space or capacity for most jacks. Hydraulic jacks are great until they leak out everywhere.
Not exactly. However, when comparing tires within a segment it's crazy how people will choose "appearance" and "opinions" over actual substance.
BFG is hard to beat for technology, development and experience.
Toyo/Nitto built a reputation on durability and rugged appearance. And they do...
Yokohama is a quality tire manufacturer... However, these are a "new" tire with limited testing, engineering. Essentially they slapped a new tread pattern on an existing carcass. Several independent testers have compared to other tires for specific traction conditions and found them falling...
Did the payment get too high? Maybe an increased payment will increase you enjoyment. HAHA
I'd suggest a BMW. Quiet. Sporty. And completely reliable. :)
We live in a world where stuff breaks and wears out. Nothing is perfect. Even our brand new Toyotas have had issues. I've bought well over a dozen new vehicles over the years...
You'll probably be fine.
Seems like a strong reaction... There will be particles in oil especially break in. As to what that piece of metal is / was... there is no way that passed through the block. Likely either from the filter or machining at the housing.
I think people are crazy to not perform proper motor...
I guess that's what I was referring to... less popular, quieter and nicer lakes (not pond swamps) to camp at. Cali locals have not been the friendliest and rather abusive of rules. Sierras are still worth the effort as the terrain and beauty is unbeatable.
Goodyear tires are junk for anything off road. Ours lasted about 300ft off road in Arizona. Sidewall damaged. Don't bother with them if you want to off road. Sell or scrap them.
BFG KO3 is a great replacement tire for all around. 3 ply sidewall. 3 peak snowflake. Quality tire.
We've been running the Nitto 37x11.5R17 for just over 2 years and 30k miles. My experience has been the narrower profile does slide laterally off obstacles more readily than wider tires (regardless of tread pattern or air pressure). However, narrower profile tires have noticeable better...
Exactly. It's a shop issue.
Most shops either do not have proper equipment or don't know how to balance oversized tires. These tires are not the same as car tires.
I've seen tons of issues with shops including not removing all the old weights before re-balancing or mixing weights...
Barrett Lake is one of our Favs
Our Raptor did fine. Drove in, hiked to the crash, swam in the lake and drove 80% out in a day solo. Exited before 9am the following day before a group of 20 clogged up the entrance. It's tough but great fun.
Looking forward to doing it again. :)
KO3 35x11.5R17 is possibly the most ideal size for width, diameter, weight. Keep in mind a Sasquatch comes with the narrow 35s factory (same gearing as badlands).
More of a tire shop issue than tire issue (from what I've gathered). People say the same about the Ko3 (newer replacement) but just not the truth. It's all about the shop, their ability and equipment.
