That's fair enough then and it probably isn't normal if you've had other jeeps. I will say I feel like my jt and JL move more than my jk does from bumps though. I wonder if it's because of the electric steering pump on them.
None of those look extreme to me. You could flip the drag link and it might be slightly better, but from what you showed on the video it looks like normal movement for a gladiator or a wrangler or any other solid front axle vehicle. The steering wheels are just more active than ifs. If you told...
Looks normal to me honestly, as the jeep bounces up and down "straight" for the axle doesn't always match straight at the wheel since the pitman and axle are changing distance from each other.
I do things usually solo or really small group, so like in windrock I traveled maybe a total of a couple hundred yards in 4lo doing panther rock, trail 10, and trail 16 all in the same day. I do also have 5.13s though which before the regear I used 4lo more often since the lack of torque was...
How often are you just riding in 4lo? I only use 4lo when needed so the 4:1 has served me well and I much prefer it to the 2.72:1 in the wife's jeep as that off idle torque just lets me control wheel spin and crawling oh so well. I also shift in and out of it quite a bit though so maybe I just...
The Mojave will do 90% of what the Rubicon will do, BUT the Rubicon will do everything the Mojave can do at slightly slower speeds.
There i fixed it for you 😂.
4xe in the wrangler makes perfect sense, tons of power, no worries on towing or anything like that. Why not get 95% of the 392 performance for 25-50k less?
4 foot bed is infinitely more useful than a wranglers no foot bed and gladiators just look light years better than the wrangler? The factory bobbed beds on the concepts are like 4.5 feet and just look really great proportion wise.
I lucked out upgrading my tie rod before hand, the very next wheeling trip there was a 6 foot deep gouge that was usually filled with water and happened to be dry so I decided to give it a try. Didn't realize that at the middle it pinched down so tight. My wife has a good picture of the aluminum...
Rpm, apex, core 4x4 all run apex tie rod ends so they're basically the same given a bar of 7075 is a bar of 7075.
Rock Krawler have their own take on 2.5 ton that uses pretty different tie rod ends but the apex stuff is pretty bullet proof.
Personally I have RPM 2.5 ton on the gladiator and...
I was bleeding horribly but they just replaced the soaked bandaid and all good.
The steering stabilizer is the bandaid, the old one was the soaked ineffective band aid, the new one is working currently. Eventually it too will stop working because the actual cause of the death wobble hasn't been...
Doesn't look like multiple leaks looks like a rear main that's just blowing everywhere while you drive. I've had 3 of them, dealer usually fixes it in 2 days.
As for coolant every single new jeep jl or jt I've worked on (5 total) has the coolant low after a few miles from burling bubbles, quick...
The price implies that it's just night and day vs other options but it's not. Its not even faster 0-30 than a 4xe and it's only mildly quicker to 60 than a 4xe but for a shit ton more money that could be used to actually increase capability (I am not afraid of hybrids like others so it's a legit...
I did the same thing. Found a gobi 392 with 30k miles, I liked the noise, but disappointing overall for me. I actually went through the whole process, got all the way to the finance guy and just couldn't sign the papers. Ended up getting back in the gladiator happily and haven't missed it since...
I'm on 39 km3s with no regear just stock 3.73s. Took it to TN from Florida like that did the mountains, never lacked for power. Jt is on 38s and 5.13s and the 4xe walks away from it easily at any speed including off the line.
Metal cloak will ask you that for any size lift and it just confirms that you did your homework and indeed don't need a drive shaft. The shock length is what's going to tell you if you need a drive shaft more than just the lift height as it's at droop that you will really tear up the boot.
You...
