I have those tires in size 215/70r17 first winter with them on my badland or any other vehicle. No fishtailing yet and they feel very grippy in snow. I live in northern Canada. We normally experience a lot of snow but this year it's too warm we didn't had much yet. One time I drove 300km in a...
I put it in park after backing up my garage/driveway and its not engaging auto start/stop. I'm not letting it in reverse while I stop the engine. I didn't noticed it before when it was still warm outside though.:facepalm: Maybe the cold temperature we have here desactivated it anyway.
I just finished to build my jeep Cherokee that I always wanted to do since I had it(7 years). I called a friend to drive it and follow me in a muddy trail so he can unstuck me in my bronco if needed. It was my first real offroad test with the badland. We bring our daughters and passed on a...
I bought blizzak dmv2's too and installed them on my stock badland wheels. I bought black wheel for summer with toyo at3's. Didn't tried the blizzak yet but they make them in 215/70/17 which is narrower and better in snow.
I highly recommend the toyo's almost 0% noticeable noise on pavement and a ton of grip offroad. Deep mud is their weekness I think. (See picture)They roll on gravel road like it is pavement. They don't weight much too. the Falken at3w that I have on my jeep are superior in mud. the tread are...
I had the chance to test my homemade traction board today(first time testing any traction board at all). I was stuck in the mud and I though it was the perfect time to test it. I had other options like a rope and a jeep ahead of me but I wanted to test it. My badland was moving a couple of inch...
Bought this foldable rack at tdot performance in April. (Was 450 cad$ at the time). Bought it mainly for the 2 kid's strollers because when I put a stroller in the trunk I have no room left for anything else. Work well so far. The curved sides are holding with 2 small screws so they are mostly...
I searched the internet and can't find any front receiver. I'm interested to buy one too, to install my snow plow I have on my old Jeep Cherokee. When my jeep will retire I would like to install it on my bs.
Hi I'm shopping for winter tires for my badland and since it's a family car that me and my girlfriend drives with 2 kids in the back we want really good winter tires. I like the Bridgestone blizzak dm-v2 and they make them in 215/70r17. It's common to hear that narrower tires is better in ice...
I did my own traction boards. Cost me about 65$CAD and I have another 4 feet 2x8 remaining (all they had at the hardware store in 2x8 was treated 12 feet that cost 23,99) that I'll keep as a spare or do a light version to carry around during winter. Not as shiny as maxtrax but I saved 435$...
I didn't read all the comments but I suggest to anybody who's interested about cars technology and personal data to read a book written by Matthew B. Crawford, called why we drive.
Have a good day.
I was shopping for traction boards too and found out that only maxsa innovation and maxtrax is worth considering. But here in Canada it is 300$ for maxsa an 500$ for maxtrax this is insane. Since I don't plan to strap them to my bs to show people that I have shiny traction boards. I decided to...
