NJ B.S. Thread

See dem yeller plates Chess. Jersey is a state of mind

 

you mean the 'NJ' doesn't stand for "Nice Jorts" ???

 

seems pretty Jersey out there too me

 

Just waiting for tie rods now..

 

I'm leaning pro's for my next tire as well. I'd love to make the jump to 37's but I'd need several drivetrain upgrades.

 

Yea 37’s would be sick, but its not worth it to me.

 

Yeah I agree. At this point I have conquered quite a bit on 35's, and stuff I haven't I'd likely need a cage for anyway. I'd like to run Pritchett on 35's before I make the jump just to see if I can. I know it can be done with only winching once or twice, so I want to try it for the challenge.

 

dana 60s and a V8

 

Nah just a crawl box, fjz80 ff rear, long travel and a super charger.

 

I have Pros on my LC and if you plan to DD your truck on Pros it's a bad idea. They are not great in the wet or snow. They really are mostly off road for rocky terrain and mud. Better in the sand than Duras but I wouldn't DD with Pros. My opinion.

 

Trucks been long retired from DD duty, that's what this one on the right is for:

Though looking at replacing that in the near future...

 

Yeh my LC is just for fun, have a small car for my DD. If you go to Rausch Creek or AOAA these will grab nice on those trails.

 

oh, so you only need one credit card emoji then

 

and that's on top of all the other things I still want/need. Though I have materials for at least 3 big projects right now and with limited Dad life time and the new dual sport addiction, I'd say all three will be done by... 2023?

 

Whatcha looking at?

 

Hoping to find a trail edition 5th gen for under 20k with 100ishk on it. Seems doable in the prefacelift ones since people find those less desirable, while I think they look better with aftermarket armor anyway. Something I can slap 33's and sliders on and take my kid to the pines or camping, or go for a family hike. Need something I can use in the interim before he's old enough to take him real wheeling.

 

Out of curiosity have you tried messing around with dropping the tire pressure a few pounds in the winter time? I’ve ran mine for two winters now and while they aren’t as good as a winter specific tire I never thought they were bad per say. But I always drop the tire pressure a little from what I normally run the rest of the year
