    How far can I drive with a mismatched tire and should I put it on the front or rear?

    Agree. I was thinking he would either have an open front or, if a Rubi, can choose not to engage the frt. locker.

    How far can I drive with a mismatched tire and should I put it on the front or rear?

    Agree. Plug it and run it. If it's in the tread block and vertical it should be repairable. FYI - Most tire shops will repair for free.

    Evap leak video (need confirmation)

    I don't think I have ever left my vehicle running while filling up in all my years of driving. With modern vehicles it's a no brainer, imo, with the EVAP monitor, which will accumulate leak events over time.

    Soft top downsides?

    My 2dr came with only a hardtop. I looked into a soft top as they can found used around here for not a lot of money. It's not a super quick operation to get to a "top down" configuration in my opinion. Not difficult, but far from instant. I opted to just pop off the freedom panels and roll...

    Freedom top seals or leak fix

    Sorry to hear. I think I would be trying to replicate the leak with a hose to understand if it's occuring close to the point you indicated (from the outside) or traveling from some area first.

    Front Mud Guard / Flap

    I hadn't thought of this approach but I like it @Chris ! Simple and more aesthetically pleasing than the flap options I've seen. I don't mind the dirt and can handle that, but the paint chips are another story. I think I'll touch up the damage as best I can and then cover it with some sort...

    Front Mud Guard / Flap

    The front of my rear fender flares get absolutely pounded from the front tires. Being a black Sahara w/painted flares doesn't help! Anyone running a mud flap on the front? I see there are a lot of variances of the molded style and some more traditional flexible flap style. What have...

    Let's play guess the gear ratio

    70mph, ~2900rpm, 35" tires. Looks like 5.13s to me:

    My first Jeep in Mesa, Arizona

    I'm aligned with that plan. At some point I'll probably be going to a 255/80R17 - essentially a 33x10. I'm not ruling out 35x10.5 when the time comes, though. Post some "before" pics of your JK, please!

    AEV 2.5” DualSport Review

    In my research I have not read about the need for a driveshaft at that level of lift - which is why the AEV 2.5" is high on my list. 4" of effective lift seems to be the threshold.

    GPS, whats cool or new?

    Yep 2022 F250 Tremor. Needed something for our TT: We absolutely love it. I was worried that my wife wouldn't like the ride quality but she actually prefers to take that if we're driving anywhere more that a few miles away. In town we'll either take the Wrangler or her Escape. I have the...

    Glad it's resolved! Nice looking Wrangler.
