Yep softer suspension is what down rates the rating. I've been at max many times, no issues. I'm getting ready to put bags on and start towing a 30ft lowboy with 2 Jeeps. I know it'll do it but it's gonna be hard on her

Re: Rusty's Build - 2008 POWER WAGON RC
Makes sense. I was surprised the metalcloaks were only single adjustable Clayton's got good stuff. I'm rebuilding a JKU on 42s with all EVO stuff and I wouldn't buy their stuff after seeing all this. Granted the guy should have went with a full custom link setup but I've read a just as much bad on t...

You won't lose but maybe 3 mpg on the 37s.
What made you piece it all together rather than a Clayton kit? Seems like a hassle

Re: 5.7 exhaust manifold issues again
Yeah figured that too. A mech down the road quoted $200 even for it and I said he'll, that's worth me not trying it all day long. I'll probably get some longer 10.9 grade hardware to have him replace tho

5.7 exhaust manifold issues again
I went thru the past threads but nothing recently I found so here's a new post. Anyone still with the 5.7 found an actual fix for the studs breaking? I've got too much in the fire to g headers Ike I know I should and my brother's PW is also needing the same work. Mine were done years ago under warra...

It was like the torque twist you feel when you do a power stall. Twisted the body up. Good thing we were in shop and not wheeling, coulda been bad

Re: Dual Batteries, dual alternator 6.4L swap
Ooh, interesting. I'm kinda laying plans for that direction as well but I've got a 2010 with 150k. The truck motor definitely sounds a better way to go too. Do they have MDS or no?

Re: New look
That's what I was thinking. Most aren't but this one is. But parked next to my other LJ which isn't cleared but black so not really glossy it appears charcoal. I'm thinking it's the tintable version with gloss black used

Some? Like a case maybe!?
I'm rebuilding an LJ right now that is lined and I've been looking at that. Is it glossy at all? Think I'll go with the tintable but all I've seen of the canned stuff raptor seems best

Odd torque twist
Installed daystar level, bilstein 5100s, AEV wheels, 35" kanati armor hogs, and some other small stuff on my brother's 2012 PW yesterday. When I put it 4L to disconnect swaybar I noticed weird torque twisting everything I put it in drive or reverse. Also when going into neutral, I could hear rear dr...

Re: '13 PW Max Tire Size
They rub at full lock on my 10. If you can metric out a 35x11.50 or even a 12 then it'd clear. I just used a 3/8" spacer.
