I hear you. They are expensive.
but they do make the cheap lightbar on my jk look like a kids toy.
im pretty sure it would be adequate for the Baja 500.
Bandit's Lair, I agree it's too hot. That was using the voswitch grab bar kit. 40 amp relay with 30 amp fuse. And yes it was blowing fuses. That's when we got a 75 amp Bosch relay and ran 10 gauge wire with an inline Bosch 40 amp MIDI fuse. That brought temp down to the 150's. Light...
How many amps does your light bar draw?
my led light bar draws 32 amps. 49,000 lumens. I tried switching it thru the Voswitch grab handle kit and it kept blowing the 30 amp fuses using the Voswitch relay. I ended up running light to 75 amp Bosch relay and just used the switch in the Voswitch to...
I just went thru this install. The wire from light goes to relay. From relay to battery. Relay should have 2 terminals in and 2 out to power the light.
And the 2 small terminals on relay are where the switch connects.
The reason you need a relay is because the switch can’t handle the amps from...
Your Gladiator looks super! Sound like you have realistic expectations for it. Like you said, it's not a buggy.
I did a v/8 conversion to a 1999 Tj in 2000. Chevy 5.7, atlas 4.3, and jet 700r4. 6 inch rubicon express lift with dynatrack dana 60's. 38" SSX super swampers on Champion bead...
I had a CJ. It was fun. But it's old equipment and drives like it. My brother had a 3/4 ton Apache pick up truck. It looked cool, but driving it sucked.
You’ll be back.
My first Jeep.
In 1999 I bought a 1981 CJ 7 that was sitting outside a mechanics shop. It didn't run. I did some repairs and got it running. It was smoking more than I was willing to tolerate so I put it in a friends shop. I ordered a re built motor and we started pulling it out. Ended up...
Ok guys, I found it. It’s self inflicted. I put a Rigid industry’s e series pro 50” light bar with zroads pillar brackets. The drivers side pillar bracket was making the noise. Thanks for all the help.
I talked to the friend that encouraged me into getting a gladiator. He said his windshield and hardtop bolts come loose and rattle. I’m hoping that’s it but will check all. It has 7400 miles. I didn’t have this issue on my TJ or Jk.
Someone please tell me how to stop this rattle. Seems like drivers door. 2022 Rubicon. I was trying to attach video but data too large. It’s a deep heavy rattle when on rough dirt road at ranch. I don’t have anything in the door pouch. I’ve felt around and shook door but can’t locate it.
26 in 41,
I put the 1 1/2" Teraflex leveling kit on the front to compensate for winch and a front mounted receiver hitch. Front passenger side rubbed on inner wheel well liner at full turn to right just a little. I trimmed a really small piece off and it quit rubbing. I have not been off...
