What did he post or do I have to search all the threads?

My experience is the added weight of the rim/tire combo for 35 beadlocks vs 33 alloys you need more gear to have the same on-road/off-road experience. Unsprung weight has way more of an effect on the vehicle dynamics than most people think. For example, if you drag raced the 4.46 with 35"...

You won't get the better gearing for the bigger tires though. As a dude with a lift and bigger tires on my current ride, you really want that better gearing. Small changes in tire weight/diameter have a huge impact on the motors ability to spin the tires willingly. My truck was never fast, but...

Well that's like your opinion, man. I'm absolutely positive if this the sound the production car makes it's because it has an active exhaust. They're pretty common with all "performance" trims these days. And with a flip of a switch you can go back to pearl clutching quiet. "The hum of tire...

1. Removable top: Jeeps are the only acceptable convertible to buy in Upstate NY where 60% of the year snow is possible. With that said, I'll probably go 4 door, because short wb in snow is not great for high speed stability. 2. On road characteristics: I'll use the car 95% of the time on...

First thought, glad it's coming with KO2s as an option. I have had both KO2s and Duratracs on my Tacoma, and the Duratracs turned to noisy garbage real fast. Much happier with the KO2 even if they don't look as cool. Second thought, KO2s are more sand/Baja oriented than Duratracs. I'd eager...

TTV6 can sound nasty, just a different kind of nasty. If you want torque off the line, wait for the electric/hybrid model. The power and packaging advantages of the V8 engine is a bygone era. Turbos are more efficient, and electric is even more powerful. Big displacement engines are going the...

Plus you save $.03/unit because you can use 4 switches that both driver and passenger can get to instead of 5 if driver gets 4 passenger 1. It may seem silly, but when you plan to make over 1 million units, .03/unit adds up. They used to do that with dodge neons, and it wasn't so you could...
