  1. Gladiator 5:13 Gearing quotes

    That's real bad info, if the gears are heating up that hot, then they have a bad install. Many aftermarket diff covers add very little extra fluid capacity if at all. The main reason to get aftermarket diff covers for an off-road vehicle is to protect those expensive gears from impact damage...
  2. ARB Dual air compressor shorted out.

    Won't Warranty is a strong statement. More like ARB would warranty it at their option. It would all depend on how it was hooked up, what caused the failure and what the failure was. They've taken the time to check this issue out closely and help spot the likely cause of the problem. They...
  3. ARB Dual air compressor shorted out.

    No, that's not what they are saying. Basically what that post is saying is if the small black wire wasn't connected, it wouldn't have melted when the compressor tried to seek ground after the main negative (black) terminal separated from the wire. ARB reviewed the Grimm dual compressor kit and...
  4. Loctite vs never seize

    Loctite does help seal the bolt from corrosion. My take on it is lube it or lock it...Period. Everything gets coated with either thread locker or anti-seize and if you use a proper torquing sequence you should be fine with either. Though I tend to use thread locking compound on thing that have...
  5. When brake lines needed and bleeding process

    Sorry, we don't have them listed on our website. In the shop and studio we use 5/16" fuel line and a 5/16" Edelman plastic coupler. We have the fuel line in a bulk roll and cut it to an inch or so over our lift height. Lift it 4", use a 5" piece. You typically don't need an extension for a 2"...
  6. time to think about re gearing

    1) Yes, get a Master Install Kit: Front M210: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/diff-install-overhaul-kits/10040469-dana-spicer-master-overhaul-kit-3rd-gen-dana-210mm-advantek-front Rear M220...
  7. time to think about re gearing

    Spicer is the premium brand, they're the ones that build them for Jeeps to begin with. Problem these days is getting 5.13s from them. We have the fronts in stock: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/ring-pinions/10051004-dana-spicer-3rd-gen-dana-210mm-front-ring-and-pinion-advantek-5-13-ratio...
  8. Rare colors

    I would do a Mojito Green JT in a heartbeat.
  9. Wobbling in Steering Wheel. Time for New Tie Rod/Drag Link?

    I've been in the 4x4 industry for 30 years and have never seen a 35" tire/wheel combinationation take zero weights. Not saying it couldn't happen, just never seen it in hundreds of sets of tires. I've seen quite a few take very minimal weights, we even had a 40 in here a few weeks ago take...
  10. Wobbling in Steering Wheel. Time for New Tie Rod/Drag Link?

    Every wheel should have a few weights on it, if yours are missing, get it into a tire place and have them do a rebalance. That may be your problem.
  11. Anything that will help maintain visibility?

    We see that a lot in the 8 months of rainy weather we get here in the PNW ?. I Rain-X my windshield and front side windows and run Rain-X washer fluid. On long drives, I'll wash the windshield and sidewinders at each fuel/coffee/pee stop.
  12. Quality of life upgrades?

    Dead pedal makes those long drives a lot more comfortable: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/pedals/dpjl18ds-m-o-r-e-dead-pedal-driver-side A nice head unit is another bonus for those long trips...
  13. Gladiator Off-road Capability

    Definitely impressed with how well the Gladiator wheels. When we got out first JT, I was worried about the extra length, but after 3-4 wheeling trips, I was thinking ok, I could live with this. Now a few years later and having wheeled 3 different JTs, I think they are one of the best newer 4x4s...
  14. Warn 8274

    It may be a dinosaur, but it is still one of the best winches ever built. And the aftermarket accessories available for it are awesome, from solid state contactors to bigger motors to dual motors and even air disconnect drums. Unfortunately most of that cool stuff is in Europe and fairly rare...
  15. Tire deflators

    Depends on how heavy loaded you are. Empty or lightly loaded (like a little recovery gear) you should be good to 12-ish psi. Start adding in a lot of weight and maybe 15-18psi.
  16. axles links - dragbars - tierods - etc...

    What kind of weird noises are you getting? Clicks, clanks and rattles? If so, you probably just need to get under there and do a full re-torque of all the hardware. For the steering, definitely take a closer look at the Steer Smarts, Yeti parts, very good quality, very heavy-duty. STEER...
  17. 37" All Terrains. What options am I missing?

    Just measured the 37s on our test mule the other day. Maxxis Razr A/T 35-5/8" tall https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/tires/tl00049800-maxxis-razr-all-terrain-37x12-50-r17lt-tire In comparison, a new set of Cooper SSTs measured in at 36" tall...
  18. 3.0L "Tornado" Straight-Six Engine (GME T6) Coming to Various Jeep Models

    Time to open up a gym that specializes in spin classes..... Get others to charge that those batteries for you. ;)?
  19. Stupid lighting for a Chase Rack

    Go for it! It would add a little different look to your truck to set it apart. And if you end up not liking it, it's easy enough to remove.
  20. Magnuson Supercharger Issues.... not

    Yep, those are Reid Racing HD knuckles: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/knuckles/jl001r-reid-racing-hd-replacement-knuckle-passenger-side https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/knuckles/jl001l-reid-racing-hd-replacement-knuckle-driver-side
