So, maybe I have a bit of another perspective on this one with WHY I did mine the way it is. First, I have a good bit of experience in DC wiring and high amp draw from marine and RV diesel work- as well as more sensitive electronic harness design etc. I actually own the Warn kit and think it is...
Steer Smarts YEti has been ordered! - Thank you to everyone for your support and feedback. My AEV kit gave me a few degrees of rake still so when I add towing weight it will be level so I am pleased with that overall as well.
I didn't see an AEV one listed on their site for a front Gladiator bar... maybe I am missing something? Steer Smarts maybe a good one from what I can tell. Does anyone have an opinion on their Yeti bar? I like that it does not have a lock nut but a clamp..
Done, but..... Still advice needed. The AEV kit is now installed, I am VERY pleased with the ride and ride height. A few things left out of the instructions... Heat shields on the upper front control arms- were not addressed, but I trimmed mine and reattached in the stock location. Also the...
I would say overlanding/ camping. I tow a 12ft cargo trailer for motorcycles but that's road only. I also tow a Taxa Whoolly Bear overland edition (love it) with my rooftop tent. I'm for sure not a mall crawler but I'm also not likely going over 35 or 38" tires on my daily driver. Hit some bad...
So it's time to lift. I finally got Jeep to give me part numbers for stiffer front springs but then the strike has jacked up availability and I need to lift anyway. 2023 Gladiator Rubicon. I need 2.5 to 3 inches of lift and I'm running about 190lbs on the front bumper over stock due to winch...
Looking good!- I have two questions, What size tire did you go with, is this a 11.5 or 12.5? and What are those slider steps?? I do you like them I am looking for that exact same thing!
Yes, the clutch handle rotates just fine!- I think the bumper I have is the 2024 or some newer style. I have all the part numbers if anyone is interested. This one has the extensions in the bump stops and the LED lights.
Good day all, I wanted to post an update. I did some extensive spring research with an VIN and explored some of the prior threads on spring combinations. It turns out most of the spring numbers in earlier comments have been superseded and the springs I have for the 2023 are the best available. I...
Ok, I have them on the way-! I'll post pics and some part numbers for everyone as soon as I get my build together. On to fabricating a bracket for my winch solenoid....
Thank you everyone for the support, what is the best manufacturer of spacers if I need an extra 1/2"? I know better than to ask the best lift manufacturer but if the OEM springs are on intergalactic backorder it may come to that. I hope everyone has a great 4th of July.
I get that with a VIN we can lookup the springs but in the past few months I've not found one anywhere. I even have the service department at my dealership on the lookout... but no luck. Anyone want to message me a VIN? Not sure if the diesel springs match all the hardware to just drop them...
Hello, my first post to the forum, and I promise I've tried to search for my answer. I have a 2023 Rubicon Gladiator, it came fromt the factory with the color match hardtop. It also came with the plastic front bumper. I have obtained a OEM steel.bumper and winch plate kit. I also have a Warn...
