Was out west last summer and did a full tank at 90 mph. That dropped me to about 13mpg from my normal 22/23 on my 04 TRD OR.

Getting ready to order some Defenders and the info about the spare was one of my questions. The 255/80R17 is the perfect answer. Thanks

Interesting

So 26 December driving south from Buffalo to Virginia I got caught in an intense Ice storm in Pa. 25F and heavy rain, freezing on impact. Growing up in Western NY it was no big deal except the truck did not seem happy at all. 2024 Off Road. The traction and control systems were all fine but...

So for the money it looks like the RC kit including the plates is a very simple choice. I am not a fan of those oil bleeders so I would probably need to drop the plates for oil changes. Are there any other significant drawbacks to this setup or is it mostly appearance/ personal preference stuff??

Thanks for this info. Good stuff to know. I drive like an idiot so I dang sure don't want any Insurance companies with my history.

Ordered mine yesterday

The stock wheels on my T-100 were horrible that way. Several times I had to get a stick and push some of the mud off to make it drive able or it would feel like a Jeep Death Wobble.

This is going to be a hotel trip so there should be plenty of room inside the bed. Basically just a couple suitcases and the cooler. The cooler will be for drinks and munchies and lunch fixins. Breakfast will be at the hotels and dinners will be out. That Dometic is nice but a little out of...
