Default off road problem

hey every one i just bought a jk 2doors 2009 and ive install a 16 inch rims with a 285/70/16 maxsiss tiers they look damn good on the jeep but today i went off road to the desert and faced several problems :
1- first thing was that car was very very weak and the acceleration was really bad and it was not moving on 4L as a jeep should.
2- when i placed the gear on 4h in less 4 minutes the car was beeping hot oil !
3- as we know her in our county with sand dooms we use 4L but it really was week and it clicked a couple of times .
4- i had strange alerts on the dash bored for a while .

and joust for u to know my car is brand new and it has less than 6000 km and just check it out of the 5000 km service and also ive been all my life off roeding with several cars and ive never faced something like that

It was VERY angry with you for calling it a car!

Seriously, though, do you have 3.21 gears? Those combined with your bigger tires are the likely culprits of your sluggishness.

Install a transmission cooler, that will help keep the transmission happy. Swap those gears for some 5:13's and don't call your JK a car.

Stay in 4L or turn off traction control in 4H. It will help some.

Never call it a car. It's a Jeep

Stay in 4L and in "D" as much as possible. I have an auto with 3:73's and wheel for about 2.5 hours in the heat. Not a problem

If you left the ESP on and started spinning your tires, then it was probably breaking for you as well. It don't like to go very fast when that happens.....
