The Adventures of Fiona - '08 JK Rubicon 2-Door

Looks great! I run mine in that 30-32 psi area. Granted I’m on a 4dr but that seems to be their happy place and yeah, they like led. Unlike the Nittos that pretty much come balanced. We’ve mounted a couple dozen sets at the shop and 7-11 oz is kind of the norm. Just wait until they wear down go about 50% tread. You’ll need to find a couple of hobbits to ride around with you. I gave up on balancing mine after a while. I just get them as close as I can and rotate often. But the rest of the Pros are so good it’s the only tire I will run. If Nitto made a 37x13.50 in the trail grappler that didn’t weigh 90lbs and didn’t cost $400 I’d give them a try.

Hobbits. 😂

That's not encouraging. One of the best things about Nitto is how round they are. Even as chunked out as my last set was, the wobble was livable. Also, they wear like iron. The last 2 sets had about 60k miles on them each (not all mine, if course) and they still have 30-40% left on them.

If these end up being an issue, I'll probably suck it up and go with the Mud Grapplers.

So far the balance issue is the only one I’ve seen. But mine at least are wearing awesome. I fully expect to see 50-60k. My wheels also might be a contributing factor to the fact that they want more weight than I can actual fit on a wheel and, to be fair it was only one. The other 4 are taking about 10-15 combined. So it’s tolerable.
 
Yow, that's the second one of those in a few days. Glad you're ok & Jeep looks like it didn't take damage.

I'm not driving my truck for a while.....

Holly shit. Hard hit. Glad you and Fiona are ok.

I just swapped my heavy Warn bumpers for Genrights. Hope that wasn’t a mistake.

Thanks guys... The worst of it is the spare pushed the Jerry cans into the tailgate, so she's got a few new dings, but that's about it. That beast of a bumper is barely scratched.

What a hit! Glad to see the bumper kept you and the jeep safe. For a lower end bumper (I have the same one) it sure can take some abuse!!

People can say what they want about Smittybilt, but the products I have of theirs have been great and this bumper gets the shit beat out of it and you can barely tell. Today's adventure is the icing on the cake though... If only it wasn't so fucking heavy.

Aside from its weight I like the bumper. Your right on it doesn’t show the abuse. I couldn’t tell you how much stuff I’ve hit with mine. It’s really the only bummer I found that I liked the gas can configuration of.

Just when I was considering getting rid of the heavy steel bumper and tire carrier, this happens...

I think they'll be staying around for awhile. [emoji23]

Damn!

That had to hurt a bit. Glad you were in something that can take a hit.
Looks like the Chevy is not going anywhere except on a tow truck.

Shame about the tire cover.

My Gen Right has taken some big hits, not like that, but plenty of rocks, and not a bend or sent, just some rock rash on the edges of the aluminum.
I think you would be fine.
