@@HerringtonLives For the ride height I just went center through the wheel up to the bottom of the fender. The control arms were close to where they mount to the vehicle… Probably 6” away. Then just on the driveshaft. I never measured any pinion angles.

Thanks!! I hope it helped!

No problem!

I’m not sure… next chance I get I’ll try to get some measurements of how far it sits away from the tailgate when closed.

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms That would be awesome, thank you

@@richardd2734I wish I could add pictures in the comments, but I can’t. I’ll do my best to explain in words. The bottom of the trailgater starts where the plastic trim is removed. From the bottom up there’s 2.5” that is 1.25” thick. Then the cutting board starts and that’s just under 2” thick… about 1 7/8” total.

Just another way of saying the same thing, but it’s about 2” away from the tailgate aside from a 2.5” strip at the bottom that’s only 1.25” away from the tailgate.

Nice!! Thanks for the info!

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms no problem

We opted for the 4.88s from the factory since we planned on going to 37s pretty quick. I did notice a difference, but in a good way. The 4.88s were a little too low with the 35s in my personal opinion, and it feels a lot better now with the 37s. It still holds 8th majority of the time unless of course going uphill or into a headwind.

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms thx for prompt reply. Yes, stock 4.88 is a good option for upsizing to 37s. So far the best wrangler for stock options in primary and secondary components. Hopefully jeepers and competitors will compel Jeep to make the newer models even better and more capable. Enjoy your rig and the purpose it’s bought for.

You’re right I forgot to mention that! If you’re talking about the auto stop/start. It will remember what you had selected. So if you turned it off it will stay off until you turn it back on even after turning on/off the Jeep. I completely forgot about it when I was recording! I have read that about the warranty, but I have also heard some horror stories of people getting their warranty voided after not taking their taser off. I think it would have to be a really bad dealership to begin with to do something like that, and 99% of dealerships wouldn’t. Like they said though just makes everything easier and there’s no worrying about it if it’s just unmarried and removed.

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms What about the small second battery removal some people do? Is that also for the stop/stop? It seems some people disconnect it or remove it so the stop/ start feature does not work anymore? Thanks for your help!

@@ericjames7680 I haven’t actually heard of that! It makes sense… that’s the primary reason for having that battery, but I don’t know if they tied anything else into it or if it would throw any codes. I’ll have to do some reading on that!

Absolutely!

It's linked in the video description now. For the Osmo I use the go pro holder mount. It works perfectly with DJI's Expansion Adapter for the Pocket 3.

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms Thanks!

No kidding?? I did not know that. Good info 👍🏼

My buddy is a Matco dealer so he hooked me up with it when we built his shop.

No I don’t believe that there is. You can turn the seatbelt “ding” off but I don’t think it affects the auto park.

Hmm well that was the best trick I had was the long skinny screw driver to depress the tabs…

Position a right angle pick on the lip of the connector, then press the tab on the back with your index finger to unlock it, and at the same time pull down with the pick to unseat the connector. Have an Extension Adapter Cable ready to install to make removal and install easier for the next time. You can also pull the center panel off to see much better. It has 3 clips on each side to pull off.

I did do a decent amount of research beforehand. It’s been a little while now so I don’t remember much about the flashcal. The reason I chose the Tazer is for the extra off-road ability’s it unlocks. I like being able to idle up for winching, lock one rear wheel for tight turns, and the brake hold to lock all four brakes down. Those are the main reasons I chose the Tazer. Some time has passed between the time I bought and now so there could definitely be some better choices out there.

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms Sounds like a solid plan. But for me I do not want some little piece of plastic messing with my brakes. Tire size adjustment, sway bar disconnect, idle up all cool. Brakes being manipulated belongs to MOPAR as far as I am concerned. Thanks for the reply.

Eventually we will but not right now. That’s something I’ll do when we get a new lift.

In time I’d like to upgrade all the steering components including hydraulic assist as well as the axel shafts, but all of that will be after a lift kit.

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms That's great to hear for future upgrades, but I'm actually surprised you went with the 37s first before you upgraded all the components to support those 37s. Such as ball joints, a lift, brakes, etc. Looking forward to future videos!

@@husker_nationThe newer axels “should” be able to handle the 37s without any problems. We’re not going too crazy on the trails, and I usually don’t abuse the skinny pedal when we’re climbing.

We got 4.88s from the factory and I’ve been really happy with the gear and tire set up!

I will be doing a regearing on the Mojave Gladiator soon and I believe he is going with 5.13s and has 37s as well.

Also going to do a regearing on the Tacoma at some point and he’s going with 5.29s and 35s. I’ll try to talk about gearing options in both of those videos.

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms 5:29 pretty deep for 35’s! Had 4:88’s with 35’s pretty low for sure.

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms great choice!

Thanks for joining me! That’s awesome! They definitely have a good selection of Jeeps there. I’d absolutely go back if we ever end up getting another one.

Oh yeah they’ll be around! Thank you!

Correct 36.77” according to Nitto. I didn’t actually measure mine out to verify that size, but from what I’ve seen they are the closest to the labeled size compared to other brands. That’s why most people refer to them as “true to size” even though they aren’t quite there yet.

I agree just lose a little more fuel mileage and time in 8th gear. Also just my personal preference to upgrade shafts and steering components before going bigger than 37s. Then clearance wise we would definitely need a lift and/or inner fender liners. Down the road we will either do 38s or 40s but it all takes time and money…

So far I love those wheels!! I’ve had zero issues and I’ve aired down lower than I should have for the trails around here. I’m hoping one of these days we will have 38s or 40s after some axel and steering upgrades!

No problem!

Nope zero issues so far! Everything’s working like it should.

So we actually got the 4.88s from the factory just because we were planning on 37s before we bought the Jeep. For us prior to switching the Jeep did great with 35s but the 4.88s were noticeable. It we would hit 8th gear pretty quick. I didn’t mind the way it drove with 35s, but with the 37s it felt a lot better. We maintain 8th pretty easily unless there’s a strong headwind or we’re going uphill. Obviously it’ll be a little worse with 4.56s. Personally if I were you I’d go with 37s unless you drive long distance daily. I mean Jeeps like ours are never going to be great on fuel mileage and the 37s are amazing for hitting the trails. Once you air down it’s amazing how much smoother the 37s are compared to our old 35s. I would also suggest looking for a C range 37 or at least a lighter tire and wheel. It’ll help a ton with power and fuel mileage. I found the stock set up is pretty heavy to begin with. We only added 10lbs per wheel and tire over stock. I think that’s because of the beadlock option on the stock wheels. They’re pretty heavy. Anyway I know that was a long reply but I hope it helped some!

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms hell yeah the long comment helped. as someone whos looking to grab their FIRST jeep, this is the info that really makes a difference. Hearing and learning from your experience about the way it will maintain 8th gear, airing down the 37 vs 35, wheel and tire combo weights etc REALLY helps out as there's so many different things that contribute to a nice day on the trail

Awesome I’m glad I can help!!

The majority of what I've read says it's 1.5" on the 3.6L and diesel Xtreme Recons, and closer to 2" on the 392s. I am not 100% sure about that on the 2024 models; however, there was not a notable difference between my 24 and my dad's 22 XR. I do know the front sits level on the 24s, and the older model XRs have a 3/4" drop in the front. I believe that's because they started offering a factory winch on the 24s.

I hope that information helps!

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms definitely helps. Thanks!

Me too!! lol

No we never did one and it has had no issues with uneven wear or turning at full lock. He’s taken it on a few short trips since we did the install.

Thats good news mine has that same 3/4 with the winch and steel bumper. You just answered all my questions I had thank you

@@leedennison5026 No problem glad I could help!

Very nice! We have our new wheels and tires on now. I believe it’s the next video coming out on Saturday so you’ll have to check it out! We went with an 8.5” rim with -6mm offset and it’s perfect. Removed some spacers on the stock tire carrier and the spare sits right where I want it. We’ve had it flexed out all the way with 37s and just very very minor rubbing.

Nice!! I subscribed and will definitely follow along with your build!

Good looking Jeep! I love the Ridge Grapplers that’s what we have on ours. I think the video on our wheels and tires comes out next weekend you’ll have to check it out!

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms Thank you! I appreciate it and love your content!

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms I sure will.

Yeah I’ve gotta run all our upgrades past the boss and make sure she gives me the thumbs up! Haha We’ve done quite a bit since this video and it’s looking good!

Yeah not having room to work sucks.. I’m absolutely blessed to have the space I do, but man a lift would save a lot of aches and pains!

Nice!! I’ll get some more videos out on the upgrades we did, but we’re rolling on 37s now and got some other goodies put on! What made you go with the 4.88s?

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms What tyres did you upgrade to? I will eventually upgrade to 37s. Moreover, I thought it was good to order 4:88 from factory than to get em aftermarket. Everything will still be covered under factory warranty.

@@Thestorytilldate We went with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I love those tires! Then we went with Icon Rebound Pro rims. Total weight was only 10 pounds heavier which I was super happy with. The 4.88s are perfect with the 37s. Still maintain the higher gears on the highway and great on the trails.

@@Thestorytilldate Oh and we had almost no rubbing with stock suspension maxed out on articulation. The only major spot was on the wings on the front bumper but it was still minor. We just pulled them off.

@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms I will get Nitto trail grapplers. Whats the offset/back-spacing of the rims you chose? Looking forward for a video.
