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

[jeepguy225]

What about what my gladiator did TO me today. At 5036 miles, the check engine light came on and threw a code of P0300 as well as the Avengers sign (start/stop fault). Turn it off, then back on and now just a check engine light. Mmm... cleared it with the tazer and drove around for a while. Just waiting for it to come on again. Made an appointment for Thursday to have them check out what's going on and change the oil while it's there.

I have no doubt in what you are saying, I see the value in both types of rotors but I also very much rely on the fact that if the drilled slotted rotor wasn't providing some added efficiency Wilwood and Brembo wouldn't be selling the majority of their kits like this.

Just throwing in my $.02. I used to work at a place that built Cobra replicas. Most of our cars went out the door with Wilwood brakes. All of them except those that went out with the original style Girling calipers. Anyway, we sold one of our cars to an engineer who worked at Wilwood.

This guy designed, tested and built brake systems and components for a living. Out of the entire catalog you know what he chose for rotors? Slotted. I think they sell drilled and drilled and slotted because of marketing, not performance.

At the end of the day the calipers will be the night and day difference, the rotors are just adding some extra grab space.

This is 100% true. Keep us updated on the install and performance. I'd love to hear about them.

Not so much something done to the Gladiator but to an accessory. Added a 3rd brake light to our bike rack so people can see it over the bikes.

Installed the Redline Tuning hydraulic hood struts. They work great, highly recommend.

Thank you for posting this. I ordered a set immediately. The jeep should've come stock with this! Looked around a few different sites, and CJPonyParts had the best price when factoring in shipping and tax.

Thanks for yoir input! Yeah, so that makes perfect sense on a muscle car. I spoke with Wilwood to pick out my kits. I think because I am hauling regularly, thats why the reccomended drilled and slotted. I run solid rotors/Brembos on my SRT and solid rotors on my 3 series.

Anyways, a huge improvement none the less. I will for sure keep you posted once installed!

ive got the sensors installed with no issues. Not sure the orientation of the bezels is correct though. Depending on how they are turned points the sensors in different ways. My sensors work when I’m reversing but doesn’t seem to pick up as far out as they used to.

its a take off bumper not purchased from Mopar.
I ordered the black tow hook so I didn’t need to paint it.

Gotcha. I guess I'll have to pay extra attention when I take mine off. Did you have any trouble with drilling the holes for the sensors? That's the only drawback I can see with the mopar accessory bumper, that its not available with the holes for the back up sensors. I was just going to measure where mine are and drill out the holes there.

Did you add the Rubicon bedside sliders? I noticed the bumper has cut outs for it. If you didn't would you mind posting a pic with the bumper installed? I'm curious how it would look without the slider/skid installed. I'd probably end up adding it later, but would like to see it without.

Pizza Plant is definitely a fan favorite. The pods are amazing. And Thank you. I’m a huge fan of the white. Granite was my 1st choice but I would have considered white if they had one. The overland selection in WNY wasn’t very good.

Stock overland suspension?

Stock overland suspension?

yes.

 

[NC_Overland]

yes.

Nice. It looks fantastic. I bought a Rubicon take off suspension. It was so cheap, and had 10 miles on it, I bought it just for the Fox shocks, which is a huge upgrade and totally worth it. The overland shocks are way too soft and don’t control the ride nearly enough. Anyway, I have brand new Rubicon springs too that I would install if I ever ran 35s. I only have 33.5s. This past weekend when I was driving on the beach it was super rough in spots and I was bottoming our the suspension when I didn’t slow down enough. I’m pretty sure 35s would have rubbed. I’ve thought about just putting the the front springs on just to level it out more.

Installed a new bumper and winch today, Rugged Ridge Arcus and Warn VR EVO 10-S respectively. Front end dropped 1/4" with the added weight.
