Not sponsored at all. Sorry if that was implied. Epic got them to me quickly and was great to deal with and offered a discount that was more competitive that any other shop but I still was out of pocket a good chunk of change. I don't think i have recieved any thing free from any one. Occasionally discounts from long term partners like Warn, and Teraflex, but I have spent thousands and thousands with both companies. I like to shout out local companies and/or any company that has gone out of their way to make my life easier and has great teams (Northridge 4x4 has been a huge help for a long time) and products. I have no interest in promoting products I don't believe in just for free stuff and have turned down several. Any company that stands behind their product, is quick to respond to questions, and makes ordering easy is far more valuable then saving a few bucks here and there.
They do look amazing on your Jeep. Very interested to learn about your fuel economy impact after speedometer calibration as well as your new dyno results. I wonder if we now get to see the engine deliver its peak torque at the lower rpms. Thanks again for posting this.
I love my Nomad Deluxe. Only running 35's and haven't had a chance yet to take them off-road yet. But have had them aired down just to see how well that works.
Great Video Casey! I love the wheel choice you made now that they’re on the Jeep...I wasn’t 100% sure when you did the reveal in your garage. What a difference a set of wheels and tires make to it! Thanks for sharing! ✌🏼
It’s well know when you start flexing, those will rub on turns. You have to remove and cut off much plastic aero stuff and while turned and flexed, will still rub. So how well did you really test it?
I wasn't really digging the look of these when I looked at pictures of them. But, they look really nice on a jeep. Might have to rethink my next wheels.
I'm loving the look! Please get a weight on the stock wheel/tire combo too so we can make a comparison with your new setup. I don't think an overall weight per corner of 118 lbs is too bad though . . . I was expecting worse. Looking forward to the next dyno run and your lift plans. Great info as always!
I agree! 118 lbs is not bad at all! I was expecting 150ish! He went from 77lbs to 118lbs but those are 37" and for some reason why they list them at 12.5 but they are nearly 14" wide! Best off road tire for both weight, size, capability combo ever! I had those in 33" on my 2017 4Runner and man they grab on the rocks here in Arizona as if they have real teeth!
Loving your channel. It is great to have the guidance from somebody who knows a lot more than I do. Building a 2 Door JL Rubicon in Vernon, B.C. Killer rim set-up!
3 inch, steering stabilizer and 4.58 differential swap. That rig looks almost like the one I want, just freedom top that I need since it's hot as hell down here.
@@Casey250 great videos...I have JL rubi axles with Method wheels with same specs as the nomads and 37s rub front inner liners with 2" bumpstops when flexing up and turning. Need 4.5 backpacking or less to fully clear 37s in the front with rubi fenders. You'll see when you get flexy offroad.
Matt Strunk thats not true I personally know two people with 38x13.5R17 milestars mounted on 17 x 9 +1 wheels and no running except on that “extra bumper” plastic piece in the rear That’s with a mega flexy 3” lift
@@Casey250 i stumbled upon you after doing research on the diesel. keep it up!! i love my 2.0 I4 gasser, it's a tiny ass motor but it gets up and moves even on 35s.
@@mattbrew11 my 37s rub inner rubicon liners with 17x8.5 wheels 4.75 backspacing flexing up and turning with 2" bumpstops. Your friends must have more bumpstops or dont flex it out like I do or others do and turn the steering. Watch wayoflife's test flexing video with his JLU on 37s and 17x8.5 wheels with 4.75 backspacing...you'll see why he added wheel spacers. Also, JLlifeoffroad was running 17x9 wheels with 4.5 backspacing on 38x13.50 milestars ..he also rubs flexing and just changed to 37s. There are also countless other examples on the jl forum.
Just so ya know........... I been running Falken wild peak mt tires (which if ya haven't tried them you should).. nittos like toyos are way too stiff and do not flex much which provides a bad ride and no grip... 37 12.5 Falken on Hutchinson beadlock (which is the only legal beadlock) weighs only 102 lbs......... much lighter better and will have more power..... cheers thx for the videos
@@Casey250 Awesome content man! I wait for your videos like a hawk LOL Do you have any plans to wrap it??? Something crazy like the hyper green JK jeeps!
Those nomads are going to ruin your day if you actually do any real rock crawling, they are rock targets and that deflator valve will get ripped off and you'll be done. I've seen it happen twice on one trail. It's a terrible design flaw. All those wheels should be recalled. It's about as bad as running metal valve stems.
Lift thennn trail. I am really wanting to add skids before hitting it too hard. Lots going in under there that needs some protection. Few companies I've spoken too wont be long with solutions.
Maybe. I have on board air if that happens and someone wants to vandelize my jeep they better avoid the cameras watching it. Youd have to know what they are as well, most people have no clue.
You got a nice mall crawler there, but I know from experience that when you put it on the trails, those tires are going to rub to the point that they tear your fender liners out.
@ Casey 250, are you doing any other modifications? That weight is going to cause a lot of stress on your stock parts, probably have to add another good 7k to keep everything rolling properly with such big tires. (new brakes, new suspension, better ball joints, sterring stabilizers etc. )
Love it! I have the same jeep and looking at this I might go with this tires. Can you let us know how is the highway speed over 65 mph. The stock tires are not that great, requires constant feedback. Also looking forward to learn about mpg difference. Great videos.
Me too. Adapts might be a bit for the diesel. The reservoir has to be redesigned for the Ecodiesel passenger side. I have some temporary 2.1s for the front but will move to adapts when I can.
Is that a 2 to 2.5" lift on your Jeep? I just bought a 21 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willys Sport and its supposed to have the same lift as the Rubicon i believe and I'm kinda wanting to go 37s but not sure if it will fit.
I tried to listen for what the offset was but I didn't here it. Looking for wheel for a lifted 2021 rubicon wrangler and not sure of the offset. I know if I use my stock rubicon wheels I will have to use wheel spacers to clear everything but not sure of the offset for new wheels.
GREAT LOOKING COMBO !!! I am going with 35's on 17x8.5 wheels. Going to have to run them a while before I can put on a lift. Let us know if you run these how much they rub. Looks like they should be fine for on road driving.
I am really interested in these rims, but was somewhat concerned with how close the valves are to the edge of the ram. From other pictures I have seen it look like they might be vulnerable to being damaged on rocks. From this video it appears that they are further back than I originally thought, and probably not as available as I thought. I will be very interested in watching to see your experiences when you actually take them out wheeling to see if that is an issue at all. I’ve had a lot of bead locks, and don’t really want to deal with all of the issues that come with them. This is the first wheel I’ve seen that takes some very definitive steps to allowing a wheeler to run wheels without bead locks. The lips on the inside of the beads looks like they would be effective, so I’m very interested to see the real world experience at low air pressure.
It would have to be a real akward rock that hits hard to damage them. I do have spare valves and caps I am carrying with me just in case. So even if something did happen it wouldn't be a hard trail fix.
Casey 250 looking forward to a trail report - after the suspension is in, I imagine. Btw I’m from Vancouver, now in Halifax. Rocks here come coated in gravy, between trees and roots. That’s what I remember of the island as well.
Nice... This definitely this is the jeep wrangler I will go with the diesel engine I wasn't sure about the diesel but you did the burn out with the 37" tires the torque is convincing enough... Btw I have a personalized plates for the jeep before buying the the actual vehicle lol
Awesome videos! Thank you. My wife and I are considering getting a Wrangler diesel. Would you mind showing us where the oil filter is at on the diesel and how difficult it's going to be to do an oil change?
