I completely disagree with your assumption that the 4 door Wrangler is similar to a mid-size truck in terms of off-road capability and maneuverability, and even more so that they were designed "for soccer moms and just happened to get really popular..."
Believe it or not, there are many...
I just traded in my 2017 Wrangler Rubicon for the Ranger Raptor. The Wrangler fit in my garage easily. The Raptor barely fits, and we had to move a bunch of stuff around to make it work. The Raptor is *much* longer than the 4 door Wrangler.
Actually even the 4 door Wrangler has a much shorter wheelbase than a mid-size truck like the Ranger. A 4 door Wrangler's wheelbase is more than 10 inches shorter than the Ranger.
Use a "rinseless wash" such as Optimum No Rinse. This allows you to wash your truck in the garage, out of the sun. Also, you can wash one section at a time and dry each section before you get water spots. I have been doing this for about 15 years now.
I assume you mean the fender inner liners? Glad to hear you had no issues. I want to do this mod but so many people talk about how difficult it is. I have not seen a video where people take the tire off and remove the inner liners to get to the modules.
I think they look cool. I have been tempted to install these myself, but I was wondering if a lot of people might find them more tacky than cool? Based on the number of thumbs up on your post (including mine) I think most people agree with the cool factor.
Sweet. I had the 305's on my Jeep Wrangler that I just traded in for a Shelter Green RR. I assume you had to paint the "Method Race Wheels" bronze on the black caps?
