I got rid of the weenie SUV tires for some 285/55R22 Recon Grapplers, and love them! I had a 3/1.5 lift/level kit installed, and everything is perfect, aside from a slight rub on the front passenger side when the wheels are cranked to the left. Sorry I don't have better pics Before: After...

I also have both and need to install. Just gotta get to a place where my back will be more cooperative... I SO hate the sketchy electronic throttle (I like to roll on the throttle, not jam on it). Also need to recalibrate the speedo for my 35s, among a few other things.

Good news - He's back (my wife named him "Clifford"). I just checked after 6 hours and everything's back to normal.

Similar story here: I came out to a dead battery this morning. I pulled the 'old' battery (3 years I've had the truck now, and it was a Die Hard, not a Mopar as expected), bought a new Optima Yellow Top (AGM) battery, swapped it in, and started up. I noticed a few error codes on the cluster...

I don't... sorry. I'm not even sure where to look.

You're better off getting a Limited/Longhorn grille, since there are subtle differences between the TRX and Limited/Longhorn grilles, including the center hood dimple, the flat bottom edge (against the bumper), and the fact that TRX fenders are wider than Limited/Longhorns. The headlight units...

I don't carry much in the bed, but when I do and it slides toward the front, I just flip open the bed cover sections, grab it from the side, and shove it toward the back to get it out via the tailgate, then reset the bed cover sections (Undercover Ultra Flex - just like a BakFlip).

Thanks! That's what they said at West Texas Off Road, since I'd gotten the tires the next day. I'm letting the tires mark the area and I'll hit that one of these weekends.

I need to get better pics, but here's my 2021 Limited Longhorn with a MaxTrac 3/1 lift/level kit and 285/55R22 Nitto Recon Grapplers. There's just a very slight 'plasticky' rub when backing up with the wheels at full lock. The whole thing only raised the seat height about 2" - which at 6'5", I...

They can't put a battery in it for diagnostic purposes?! Or utilize a power source to simulate the new battery (i.e., a charger)?! Or even bypass the eTorque battery (if that's the battery they're speaking of) just for diagnostic purposes?! Find a new stealership - those guys suck...

I had a set of those in my 2012 Lone Star and loved the idea of having them, but didn't really use them much since only weird-sized stuff fit in them (pretty much small tool kits or loose tools and items). Once I saw the embedded cargo lights in my '21 Longhorn, I decided not to get another...

Oops - my bad. Yes, it's a 2019. It was a long day of working on the Jeep. Next up on the list: install and configure both the Tazer and Pedal Monster.

So this just happened today. While the Jeep's Edelbrock EFI is still giving us the middle finger, I snuck out yesterday to take Clifford to West Texas Off Road and had a nice MasterTrac 3/1 lift/level kit installed, and today went to Discount Tire and had a set of Nitto Recon Grapplers...

Actually, I shut the truck off in the driveway, opened the door for a few minutes & closed it, waited a few minutes, started it back up, and still nada. That's when I pulled the USB drive and brought into the house to check functionality. This morning, I fired up the truck, popped in the USB...

Just had it happen again today. Temps in West Texas hit 114 today. I hopped in the truck, started it up and the USBs were all inert but the stereo seemed to be working fine otherwise (listened to the local radio station on the way home - remembering why I listen to my USB tunes all the time)...
