Metal on metal contact may happen but I would think that it matters on the tire being mounted. In my case with ATX slabs and 35" Nitto trail grapplers I have a small, consistent gap between the outer ring and the wheel.
As long as the tire was mounted such that the bead is evenly set in...
My boys and I attended a Jeep Jamboree event this past weekend about 65 Jeeps from 8 states were in attendance. We wheeled over private land including a plantation that has been in place prior to the civil war. We encountered multiple creek crossings and lots of mud which we thoroughly enjoyed...
That is actually the Renegade roof rack by Warrior Products for $1070 at Quadratec. Their rear posts go all the way down to the bumper. The Wild Boar version stops short of the bumper.

Luckily I am bored enough at work today to download some owner's manuals.
There is no such statement relating to RPM limits while in 4LO in either the 2012 or the 2015 owner's manuals. Just a 25mph speed limit.
I haven't heard of 3000 max rpm for 4LO limit. Where did you find this info? The only limit that is stated by the owner's manual (for a 2011 JK) is a 25mph speed limit for 4LO.
I don't understand why anyone would be getting into 6th gear while in 4LO. The maximum speed in 4LO is 25mph. If you are able to get going that fast what would be the point of staying in 4LO and not going into 4HI or perhaps 2WD if the conditions permit??
I am glad to see that you've gotten that winch installed and will be able to put it to good use.
As far as determining the force you induced on the winch line:
curb weight of the JKU say 4300 lbs
friction coefficient of the rubber tires on a dry concrete driveway (I am assuming that is what...
I have this brand new winch, a Superwinch Tiger Shark with aluminum hawse fairlead and a synthetic rope with 11500 lb capacity, in an unopened box that I won at a recent Jeep Jamboree event. I already have a winch so it don't need this one.
I am asking $400 with local pickup only. It can...
