I've tried to hide every external piece of unfinished metal on my Jeep. The only thing I couldn't find was a cap for the keyhole on the tailgate. Behold what some off-purpose use for a product can accomplish.
Jeep Gladiator Tailgate Keycap
I got the El Gato hydraulic off-road jack by Go Rhino. It.looks a little bigger than the Bunker Ind one. It fits in the storage bin under the back seats. From what I can tell I need to buy the extension piece and I just can't seem to make myself do that after shelling out what I did for the...
Winner winner, chicken dinner.! I only loosened that clamp on the driver side and with the wheels pointing straight ahead, was able to rotate the end down so the bolt was perpendicular, just like the passenger side. I realize now what happened. When I rotated the center section to pull the...
Here's 2 pics of my driver side tie rod connection. It seems off kilter to me. I installed the Yeti Steer Smarts steering combo of track bar, drag link and tie rod about 600 miles ago. I rechecked the torque on everything at 300.miles as per instructions. There seems to be an equal amount of...
So when I bought my Gladiator new, the dealer had already installed the Mopar 2" lift and 37x13.5" tires on TIS Offroad wheels. It had a pretty severe front rake to the tune of about 1.5" lower in the front. I have a pretty heavy 13.5k lb winch I'm going to install and after looking at lots of...
I just received my Cruise series of a complete set of 8 Core 4x4 control arms. I had the install instructions before they arrived and the torque specifications for the jam nuts had 2 different sizes 1 1/2" and 1 5/8". So, I ordered a couple of crowfoot wrench heads for those sizes to be able...
I'd watched several of Eddie's videos on the [Banned Site] channel on YouTube. So I decided to become a member on the [Banned Site] forum. Got the typical you'll get an email when an admin approves your account message. A few days later I got an email that says:
"spanishmack, unfortunately, the...
UPDATE: Readjusted everything again and got it worse 'effed up than before. Luckily I took some notes on where some things were before. Kept my track bar adjustments as it was still a little off side to side in front. Readjusted back where I was with my tie rod. And then went thru about 3-4...
I bought it new with the 2" Mopar lift already installed along with the TIS Off-road 555s and Toyo OC 37x13.5 R17s. Just looking at what comes in a Mopar 2" lift, I didn't see longer control arms pictured. Hopefully you're right.
I used my digital angle finder on top of the new ball joints...
I recently posted here about "Steering Wobble Paranoia" (https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/steering-wobble-paranoia.97564/#post-1561842). Since that post I went to develop a full on death wobble. So, to start tackling it I got 4 Wheel Parts to put in some Dynatrac ball joints...
Have not done anything suspension wise, other than buy it with the Mopar lift already installed. How hard of a job is replacing the ball joints? I was pretty proud of myself replacing the steering stabilizer and I realize that was an easy n00b task.
Very cool mod. I have always wanted a snorkel too, but I couldn't figure out how to do it with my current lightbar and brackets. So, I ordered the Quadratec interior lightbar and bought an off brand, AmFib style snorkel. I know people have given the interior lightbar hate in the past, but the...
