  1. Oops, I screwed up! Stuck in the Sand Dunes.

    Thanks! It wasn't quite planned, just the way I needed to go... but it did turnout pretty neat.
  2. Oops, I screwed up! Stuck in the Sand Dunes.

    Glad you guys enjoyed it! It was a perfect day out there, plenty of sunshine and blue skies and the sand was a great consistency.
  3. The RME4x4 Gladiator Rubicon

    That makes sense, I used a locking lugnut kit from Quadratec and the nuts and key are pretty small. Here's what I used, I wanted Black but they were sold out at the time so I got Chrome. - https://www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec-23-piece-spline-drive-wheel-lug-nut-and-socket-kit-jeep-wrangler-jl
  4. The RME4x4 Gladiator Rubicon

    Well, your dealer is right and they're wrong. Yes on the 14mm studs, but they fit just fine. The taper on the lug nut is the same, the wheels slide over the studs without interference. No issue at all.
  5. Moab Rim in the Gladiator

    Thanks Dan! Spring is great in Moab, early in the year can be excellent or cold, so just go prepared.
  6. Moab Rim in the Gladiator

    No issues, I was usually in 1st or 2nd gear coming down, letting the gearing keep the speed under control. But I had no issues when I took my '48 CJ2a up and down last year. ;) I didn't see any ammo cans, but probably drove right next to it.
  7. Moab Rim in the Gladiator

    We headed to Utah and ran the Moab Rim trail in our Gladiator! We've had our friend Justin from JKU World along in case we needed a tug along the way. The Gladiator is long and low, as you will see but still very capable on the challenging Moab Rim trail. It's currently setup with a simple...
  8. The RME4x4 Gladiator Rubicon

    I'll see what I can do, I've been spending way too much time away from home working than I have been playing with the Gladiator, so I haven't been able to get the requested side shots. I think I'll be taking it to Moab again this weekend, so I'll try get some shots.
  9. Fall Colors Tour, Colorado; Lead King basin, Schofield & Kebler Passes

    My wife has a '15 F150 and it's pretty wide compared to the Gladiator... then you make it even wider with the Raptor suspension & wide fenders and it takes up a lot of trail. A Raptor would be pretty tight in a few places on Schofield, especially the spot where I climbed over the rock. IMO a...
  10. Fall Colors Tour, Colorado; Lead King basin, Schofield & Kebler Passes

    Thanks Rob, glad you enjoyed them! Happy to share! The inner fenders are LED turn signal are both from American Adventure Labs. For the inner fenders, you strip out the factory inner fenders, gaining 3" more clearance and leave the outer shell in place. It's a neat, simple change that really...
  11. 4.10s &37s what speed are you hitting 8th?

    You have too much resistance, rolling and wind, to get it to stay in 8th with 4.10 gears and 37's. The 8 speed does a pretty good job of making up for bigger tires with 4.10 gears, but no matter how you cut it, at the end of the day your final drive ratio is off... and the final drive ratio is...
  12. Fall Colors Tour, Colorado; Lead King basin, Schofield & Kebler Passes

    Colorado is at 100% capacity, unfortunately.... :LOL:
  13. Fall Colors Tour, Colorado; Lead King basin, Schofield & Kebler Passes

    Made my annual Fall Colors Tour, but went solo this year.... the wife wasn't feeling good and even after inviting local friends, nobody could go. Oh well! I started out in Marble, CO and drove up to Lead King Basin.... this is such a beautiful area, doesn't get much attention due to the Crystal...
  14. The RME4x4 Gladiator Rubicon

    There's not much hanging out past the fenders, no rubbing with 37's anywhere at full articulation. Look at the pics I posted from Moab, you can see how the tires are covered around 90-95% by the flares. I'm away from home for the week working, so I can't get you an actual measurement. I'm very...
