What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[WILDHOBO]

You know what would look awesome? Some 40's. JK. Have a blast! Already missing the Colorado trails.

That would be crazy. I think the rule is the trailer tires can’t be bigger than the Jeep’s.

So you up the tires on the JT to 40's also. Problem solved

 

[WILDHOBO]

Awesome looking setup!

Thanks very much. We’ve really enjoyed it.

We did lockers and a regear over the last two days.
Ive never done a Dana axle or diff before. Probably would been advisable to do over two weekends instead.
But ARB air lockers and 4.56 gears now.

Good job. Ive messed with gears long enough to know that its not for me!

It was an arduous journey to say the least

That’s something I’d really like to learn how to do. Can I ask why you removed the axle housing from the jeep?

Just makes it easier to reach everything, I'd rather do a little extra work to drop them all the way and be confident that all my races, shims and whatnot got properly seated. As well as all the shavings from drilling the ARB bulkhead fitting being cleaned out.

I'd assume since he didn't have a lift it was easier to set up the gears

Makes sense. I guess it’s actually not that much to disconnect the axle. What is your bump stop setup? I noticed the tall bump stop puck on the spring perch.

They're just the bump stop extensions that came with the JKS 3.5 inch lift I installed a few years ago. Funny side effect is they'll actually retain the springs if my shocks ever manage to become disconnected.

Installed a REDARC brake controller today. We’ll see how it does on Thursday!

Finally upgraded my suspension with some Kings Offroad coilovers (Recon kit from Rebel). The difference is night and day compared to my mopar 2.0 lift kit...

My TeraFlex Nomads wheels arrived only to see that Northridge is offering a free Falcon steering stabilizer if you buy five wheels. Yes, I sent TeraFlex an email but I am not holding my breathe. Ordered 35 11.5 17 Wildpeak AT4’s from @discounttires for the Mojave. Hoping everything gets mounted Tuesday or Wednesday. Still need to order the AEV 2 inch spacer lift and geometry correction bracket tomorrow.
