The Jeep Mod I'll Never Run Again

Some of the most popular Jeep mods out there might be working against you, so I brought in my buddy Jerry from Shift Autowerx to settle it.
We go down the list one by one: oil catch cans, grill graphic inserts, wheel spacers, dual exhaust on the 3.6, the rear locker bypass harness, running 40-inch tires on stock axles, and superchargers. Some of these we've run on our own rigs for years. Some of them Jerry has seen destroy engines in his shop, including a grill insert that cooked a set of heads and a wheel spacer failure that put a tire into another car. We don't agree on all of it, and we left the disagreements in.
If you're running a supercharger on a 3.6 especially with real miles on it we legitimately want to hear about it. Drop your experience in the comments.

I decided to get lighter, Mickey tires and replaced with aluminum method wheels which are still heavy but overall I shaved off a ton of weight.
I think rotational mass on wheels and tires is a underserved topic. It doesn't have as much history and engineering behind it but I could feel a huge improvement in daily driving. Also 17 in rims mean cheaper tires which is a plus.
