Rack
Bennet thanks for the info. Is the mount pretty secure ie. hard for theives to steal?
How much weight have you actually put on it?
Is it noisy?
Any noticeable impact on gas mileage?
I was looking at other racks w/ fairings?
Thanks
Bennet and all,
Need your advice on the Surco roof basket that alot of you guys are sporting...
What mount is it that you have for your basket?
What is the Surco mount part number you guys are using to mount to the side rails?
I thought this is the mount for the KJ/basket: Surco...
tires
Those look great and nice garage setup.
Doesn't alot of equipment selection for these are based heavily upon sponsorship rather than user preference/performance?
Forteras
Which Fortera do you have?
I have both the Tripletred and HL versions of the GY Forteras and love them particularly in wet. Got em based upon Cons Reports 2005 review of All Season passenger tires... rated No 1 for the tripletred passenger tires so I got the SUV Fortera version...

Re: Questions
Is the spray bottle for water or for the wax liquid?
Any other tips...
just wash and apply liquid wax and buff by hand rite?
I gotta try this waxing thing given these pictures you all posted.... they look better than at the dealership.
Questions
I have some Noob questions as I never did anything outside of wash w/ soap and water:
Does waxing cut or harm the clear coat resulting in a duller finish in the long term as they are tiny abrasives?
Do you need to 'buff' with a rotary tool?
Has anybody used Turtle Super Hard...
That would be awesome as I think they are due to test tires again this year!!! Hopefully it is for SUV's/trucks rather than just passenger tires.
I just buy the mags.
I would recommend snows if you can afford them or all terrain if no snows.
Yes my OAD is 30.1" so u may get some minor rub in reverse. Any bigger u will get major rub.

Remember my posted my pix of the wrecked KJ on stocker GY's in the Rockies snow...
warranty
There is a common issue on the chrome edge rims even on the Chrysler 300's. I have the same on mine and u can complain to the dealership & DC, they should replace them for you under warranty.
The spokes don't have an issue since they are plastic clad.

Yah, check out the top pic:

The tires only had 5000 miles on them and I was driving the speed limit...
see all the snow packed into the tread.... so much for edges to grip snow/ice. Learn from this...
tires
They have the same footprint as your 4 tires but I stack them to the ceiling x3 and have some loose in the garage. My wife is very accommodating. 8-[ I have several sets of stockers which I may only use 'offroad' which is really gravel and logging roads but due to the high...
