Yesterday I installed my rhino rack vortex cross bars on my Bak revolver x4 tonneau, and mocked up fitting the pioneer platform. Today I just looked at now happy I am with how it looks more info is on the bed rack and tonneau thread.

just my $0.02 but Im leery of spacers. Ive had a could sets over the years on my JK and i broke wheel studs with daily driving alone...enough that I wont even touch them for the JT. Its an anecdotal observation but just wanted to throw some more point of view at ya.

Care to name the brand of wheel spacers? Because I know many folks who have run Spidertrax and Teraflex and never had a problem, even with serious off-roading. I honestly would not recommend them if I thought there was any truth to the anecdotal tales that all wheel spacers are bad.

I'm curious about the brand or if they were installed properly. I ran rough country ones on two different Jeep's and Spidertrax on another total of probably 16yrs worth of running them and never saw one break which includes some serious wheeling and running swampers on my XJ. I ran them on my JKU for 6yrs out of the 7 I had it and never a issue. I'm currently running rugged ridge ones on my JT and I installed them and torqued to spec them so I'm not worried about having a issue.

I installed the factor 55 ultra hook for a nice clean look!

Installed the Rugged Ridge Arcus front bumper and a Badlands 12000 lb. winch. Oh and had the windows tinted.

I'm not sure if this is a "To" my Gladiator or a "With" my Gladiator, so I'll probably drop this post in both.

I was looking for an axe to carry on the truck and realized I had an old axe that was given to me. A few years ago one of my uncles bought a house from a guy who collected axes and he gave me a couple. This is the bigger of the 2.

The only marking on it is the Plumb 3. I'm pretty sure the 3 means 3 lb. I'm not sure how old it is, but it's at least newer than the mid 50s when Plumb patented and started using something called permabond to help attach the head. But it's old enough that it's way nicer quality than a lot of axes I was shopping for.

The handle needed some light sanding and I had to clean up some rust on the head, then I blued the head and put an edge on it and rubbed the whole thing down with linseed oil. The pictures really don't do it justice. The red in the handle is really beautiful. I don't do a ton of chopping wood, but now I can with style, if I need to.

I'm not really a "fan" of axes or anything but boy... that thing looks nice. Not sure I'd leave it on the truck under normal circumstances lol (yes I see the toneau). Nice setup though.

Spidertrax (1.5in i believe) and some random brand off amazon in 2in. Both broke studs whether I installed them or had a shop put them on. It was frustrating to spend the money on the spidertrax and still have issues. It very well could have been a symptom of something else since i also had some wobble issues on the JKU, but yea. Made me not want to mess with them ever again. I learned how to replaced wheel studs real fast and replaced no less than 10 over the years.

The stars always lead the way. Take it as if it's attached to a pole and running forward.

I just pictured Mel Gibson running with the flag in “The Patriot”....on his right side lol.

Finally got around to mounting my door hanger and took the doors off.

Is this the same “fix” as the video that’s been posted on another thread about “taking care of steering slop”?

Yup.

No idea but it's pretty simple. Just take your intake out and adjust the screw. Makes a huge difference. I installed a synergy track bar brace since and my steering is almost "normal".
