Remember, positive caster is gained by pointing the pinion angle down. Personally, I would turn all 4 Clayton control arms 1/2 turn and recheck. Of course, the LCAs opposite direction of the UCAs. If I remember right, that should give you close to .5 caster increase.... If you only want to...
Nice setup. How long is that umbrella ? is it possible to get a 9 foot diameter umbrella that is only 5 feet long when folded so it can fit lengthwise in the bed with the tailgate closed ?
lol, I bent about 6 or those... Finally switched to the Rock Jock antirock rear sway bar and it has been fantastic. Personally, I have driven with bent ones for quite a while without feeling anything on the road. Note: The tab at the top connected to the frame can be destroyed by a hard hit...
Sad... We have had lots of fun with our Gladiator Rubicon - Manual tranny... With 5:13 gears, 37s, & a 3.5" lift, it has been great in all different types of terrain. For Rock Crawling, We have done the Rubicon Trail twice, the Badge of honor Big Bear trails numerous times, other difficult...
I have the original Clayton 3.5" springs they offered for the Gladiator in 2020. They never really sag no matter how much I put in the bed. The HD springs came out later, and based on my experience with the orginal springs, I would not put on the HD springs unless the bed is always loaded...
After bouncing my 2" RPM Aluminum Tie Rod off of Rocks at the Rubicon Trail on 2 separate trips, 2 years apart, I am impressed with the fact that they will not bend, and the toe-in is always perfect. We had a guy on our Rubicon Trail trip that put a "V" in his steel tie rod and drag link that...
Yes, 70K miles now, I just got back from running The Rubicon Trail yesterday (for the second time). 5:13s were perfect for the 37 inch Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/T. For the Rubicon Trail, I was in 1st Gear 4WL the whole time with the clutch out, Flipping the lockers on and off when needed...
I have a rugged ridge trifold cover and I have an Engel fridge that has lived in my truck for the last 3 or 4 years or so, and it fits perfectly... I originally had the smaller Bluetti battery that went belly up and they gave me a new one for free about a year ago. I just upgraded to their...
I had the same issue with the rear diff, and I installed the Z locker solution a few years ago.... The front diff has never been an issue. It has worked great the last 2 or 3 years.
PS. I remember swapping the diff oil, and that helped, but, the condition came back, so, I just went with the...
If you going to use them as sliders and rock crawl at some place like the Rubicon, you absolutely need the armor to avoid dents. I have them with the Armor for 4 years now, and I have made lots of scrapes, and I just I hit them with spray paint all the time after scraping them up on Jeep...
lol, join the club... At least you did not have to pay for yours... So far, I have not heard any issues about the driver's side intake cam and rockers..., but, only time will tell...
I was at a Halloween celebration in LA, and someone knifed my soft top... I sewed it up by hand super tight, no patch, with the best outdoor thread, and put some silicone on the inside, and it has been fine for about the last 15 years.... No leaks.... You might want to try that.
Note: you may get "interference", static when using the 12 volt switched in the passenger well or the 12 volt plug... My first GMRS unit was hooked up to to the 12 volt switched on the passenger side, and I had to use a ton of squelch to get rid of the static -- when I went to my 50 watt GMRS...
For the MCT575, Both the speaker in the head unit and the speaker in the Mic are pretty loud. I have them both "on" in my installation. I do not have any problem. I have a soft top, and with the soft top down, windows down, 70 mph on the fwy, MT tires screaming, stereo on almost full blast...
Note: There is a good place to install the MXT575 base unit underneath the steering wheel completely hidden away. There is a spot for it there. I used velcro to secure it and it sits flat on an existing bracket, so, no issues at all after a few years of hard 4wheeling... "Ozark Overland...
All the error codes and misfires were only the passenger side head, intake cam. The intake cam and rockers were replaced and the engine is running fine again. It is a whole other job to remove the intake and the driver's side valve cover to inspect the driver's side intake cam.... Since, I...
Same thing happened to me at 68K miles with my 2020 Gladiator. I bought it Oct. 2019. Same exact symptoms. The passenger side intake cam (high lift lobs) and rockers were toast. totally wore out. The exhaust cam and rockers were fine. How was your driver's side intake cam ? I have not...
