  1. Adding Power Locks to a Sport - Success !

    In side the doors themselves, yes, you just have to change the four actuators and replace the harnesses. I'd strongly suggest doing the proximity locks at the same time. If you do, you don't even need a fob with buttons. If you do want the buttons, you probably need to get the dealer to...
  2. Lets see all those Gladiators with lifts and bigger tires!

    RockKrawler 3" Pro-X lift, Blisten 8100 shocks, 37" Nitto Trail Grappler
  3. Cant decide where to put ARB Dual compressor

    Very likely water being pulled in through the filters. I've had multiple jeeps with compressors mounted under the hood or in the wheel well... always added extensions to the filters and never had a problem.
  4. Showrooms and 4x4 Stops - Van, BC to Portland

    Mule would seem to be the obvious one for you and your buddy. Lots of overloading stuff there and they do some impressive pickup conversions (Gladiators, Taco's etc..). Its probably 20 minutes "out of your way" ... Northridge is a great shop but their showroom isn't very big...
  5. Armorlite regrets?

    Zero regrets here ... mud, rain, snow, dust .... been through it all in the last year and couldn't be happier. It's the next best thing to just LineX'ing the interior (and has more sound insulation!) :)
  6. Control arm drop brackets

    I'm not a fan of the separate pieces that Rubicon Express uses. At least Rancho is fully welded. I've mentioned on another thread that I've run both the Rancho and AEV brackets on various Jeeps over the years. The Rancho's are slightly easier to install. They have various mounting points...
  7. Mopar control arms vs drop brackets for 2 inch springs

    I've run both the Rancho and AEV ones on various jeeps, both have gotten smashed around and held up well. Can't go wrong with either. I personally would avoid Rough Country, I don't like that they are not fully welded but rather two separate plates.
  8. LOD Destroyer Slider Steps

    Oh hey ! That was me. And no, they really didn't. Got the Destoryers on there now but will likely have to shim them out a bit and I do need to touch up some spots where the aluminum ones did hit the rocket panels.
  9. Mopar control arms vs drop brackets for 2 inch springs

    You can correct caster either way but the brackets will absolutely give you a better ride. By dropping the control arm you maintain the original geometry of the suspension (ie... LCAs are parallel to the road, not angled down) Brackets really only get a bad rap for rock crawling because they...
  10. Rear track bar for 37" tires

    Rock Krawler Pro-X lift .... removes the rear sway bar entirely :) But otherwise, Clayton and Metalcloak seem to have the bend in the middle for extra tire clearance.
  11. New guy

    Welcome .. lots of options out there !
  12. Adding Power Locks to a Sport - Success !

    Nice looking rig. If you have the wiring, the power locks aren't too terribly hard to install. Takes a couple hours to take apart the doors, switch out the actuators and install the new harnesses. Really does make a big difference. If you don't have all the wiring, the other...
  13. Adding Power Locks to a Sport - Success !

    What year is your JT? The easiest way to to look at the body side of the door harness. If its full or mostly full then you are good ... If it only has a couple wires, then likely you don't. I've never been able to find a complete pin out for the connectors but piercing together a couple...
  14. Power running boards

    Northridge did a couple videos on the install on a JT a couple years back.. might be some gems in those..
  15. Wrangler 2023 option - level II

    Not sure where you get $4000... it's $20K or $22K for the level II uplift. On top of the $75K for the 392.... .... $4K was (I think) the pricing for the the "XR" package that gets the 2" mopar lift and 35s ... But definitely cool to see AEV doing this level of integration again.
  16. I know I know….. Need real world feedback. 5.13-35’s

    The charts are interesting but don't match my experiences.... I am running 37x12.5 Nitto Trail Grappers and Hutchinson beadlocks... admittedly a heavy combo. With 4.56s I never saw 8th gear unless I was going downhill. Highway climbs were awful. Stuck in 3rd or 4th with the engine...
  17. Airbags, suspension upgrade or none of the above?

    Yes. Front and rear. No change in height in the front although they are certainly stiffer.
  18. Airbags, suspension upgrade or none of the above?

    The AEV 3" high capacity springs are rated for a constant +400-700lbs of load. They are a full set so more expensive ($598) than Dobinson's above but certainly look like a fit for your load. I had set on for a while but with only a light rack and RTT, I'm probably only 250lbs without...
  19. Is dealership conning me on lift kit installation?

    It's with your missing 10mm sockets.
  20. Replace manual door panels with automatic panels and door locks are not working

    Ok... let's start with the basics ? What year of Gladiator do you have ? Have you confirmed you have all the body wiring ? Some Gladiators do, some don't..... Check where the door harness is connected to the body. You said you have had all the door harnesses replaced. If so...
