What did you do to your TJ today?

Can’t beat that. You might be surprised when the tires go on- @Hog has 37’s with no weights at all.

I change my air pressure almost each time I drive it.. I don’t drive it much.. but seems to keep the tires in check… one time I had 11 psi and was running 70 and was like man it sure is smooth but sluggish🤦🏻‍♂️

Me too, 6 PSI on the trail and 28 PSI for the road. Granted I don't drive it much.

I typically air down when we get to the campground the day before hitting the trails. Then when we get to the trails, usually a 20-30 minute drive, I re-air down. I love the way it rides in the cold mornings at around 3-4 PSI. It's smooth as butter.

100% same PSI where I went on 33s. I foresee the same or very close for my 35s when I get more time on them.

I haven't done the re-air down but that's a great idea!

Those pressures are on my 37's. I did the same pressures when I had 33's.

My thoughts on the re-air down is that driving that far on them will build pressure. I've seen as high as 15 PSI when double checking.

Oh - not worried on the air down - but I have been closer to 7-8 air down previously and need to push the target to see if I find trouble ;) I will tryin 6psi when I get these 35s off-road.

I more meant your on-road PSI. I like 28 but I want to see how 26-28 looks (tread) and feels. I need to try that out some - but likely not too much off your numbers with environmentals.

My on road at 28 PSI is limited driving. I usually only drive it on the road at those pressures to the car wash once we are home. In the spring, I'll never air up. I'm planning on going to 38-40" sticky's driving on the road will be campground to trails only.
 
Started the Badge of Honor on the inner tailgate along with Jeep Jamboree badges (lost the 2025 Hollerwood Jambo badge).

UPDATE - Aussie Amazon have run out of stick and don't know when they are getting more.
USA Amazon have stock but can't ship to New Zealand... (must be a hobbit thing again) haha
I've just sent an email to Rugged Ridge directly asking about shipping to NZ and their stock levels.

Is there a way for us to smuggle parts to you into Mordor? Buy them here, ship friends and family.

Drove my 33s daily at 28psi as my 'go to' — I did the 'Caulk Test' on my first 33s and the outer 1" on both sides didn't hit the pavement. But I figured I'd need to be at well below 20 before that happened....
 
That's good to hear. I now have them on all 3 cars, it was $85 to replace all 3 on the wife's FIAT, but totally worth it if I get even half of what you've experienced. I just hate buying the same damn thing over and over again.

…… just start a construction business. Buying what you already have that you can’t find because someone doesn’t give a crap makes me so mad I just want to circumcise myself with a die grinder.

I daily drive my 33's between 24 and 26 and they are wearing perfect. 13/32 on all 4 of them.

The only family I have State-side is my Jeep family and they are an interesting bunch ..lol 🤪
Good idea....I did try doing that before but the price for shipping was daylight robbery....
I'm in no real hurry at the moment I can make the ones I have work for a while I think...

Dropped the tank to fix a misaligned fuel pump, EVAP leak and fuel leak. All these problems started after I installed a UCF tank skid. I was trying to prep for Moab and ran out of time. So I waited until I got home to fix it. The EVAP leak was a broken connector which gave out on a ledge at Top of the World.

The alignment of the pump doesn't have to be off much to interfere with the fuel gauge arm. I'm going to have to seriously counsel the installer.

And apparently I didn't get the pump seated correctly. Looks like my fuel leak, which only happened when I filled the tank to max, was the issue.

I smoke tested it to make sure there were no cracks or other issues. I'm too cheap to buy something I can make. Particularly if it is rarely used.
