That build looks pretty solid for what you want. I have not heard of any widespread axle leaks but I am not all up on everything. I do know some folks have had trouble with their lockers in the Rubicon which has required replacement of the entire axle assembly. You don't have any need for...

I see you are back. Still mulling it over. I can understand that. I think the JT would be awesome for you. That said, I would hesitate too. I think you would be fine and they do seem to be pretty reliable. I am at 25k and almost 2 years with no troubles. I have a Rubicon with the 3.6 and 8...

You know, I used to use the oil can spout for the Hi-c. Yes you have to be close to 50 to know either of those.

I like those a lot. The render there does make it look pretty light compared to Gobi but the black of the tires does offset that. The sand color on the Black Rhinos doesn't really match Gobi but they sure look good. I got Black Rhino Bantam's in black and some days I do wish I had gotten the...

To some extent I think this is a "why not". It does allow for gear storage in a bed that isn't included in the passenger area. The other side is the wheelbase on the Gladiator is longer so perhaps that is an advantage to someone's particular off road needs? Fast desert running with occasional...

Reading through all of these posts takes me back 2 years to when they were just coming out and everyone was ordering and waiting and trying to figure out what options were holding up their build. I am super happy with my Gobi but truth be told if they had Mojito or Gecko from the get go I would...

Well, I haven't looked at it. Didn't know it was fused at 30 amps. Even at 10 gauge it wouldn't be enough to support a winch.

I drove to the arctic circle in 2020 to camp there. Did the drive in a 2 wd Nissan Murano. Couldn't get my Jeep up there. Had no troubles at all even after reading all the same things about broken axles and needing extra fuel and multiple spare tires. Stopped to top off fuel at Yukon River camp...

I always give the same advice to every new Jeeper, don't do anything to it. Get it, drive it, start to know it, take it off road on some mild trails. You will find that a stock Jeep is very capable. Once you start to use it for what you want you will identify what you need and in what priority...

I wouldn't expect that the trailer harness would come close to supporting the Amp draw for any winch. When I wired one up on my atv I probably used 6 gauge wire. Maybe 8. But it would have to be upsized due to the length from the battery. The 7 pin harness has 14 gage at best probably. No where...

If you don't order the adaptive cruise control or front trail cam then there are no sensors on the front of the gladiator. I am curious as to why you would worry about that when the mass of electronics on any modern vehicle is more than enough to dirty up your signal. I'm not sure the camera...

This will probably fall under the category of yes it is possible but not worth it. A quick trip around the inter webs and although I couldn't find a part number I found a price range that will put you around 2k for the transfer case. I would probably add several hundred more for the correct...

There are a lot of towing threads on here. Have a look. I will say that you should be aware of what your GCWR is, Gross combination weight rating. You will have to look it up. But you might be surprised to find that you really can't tow 6000 pounds. Once you put people and gear in the Jeep you...

The suspension fasteners on mine are 10.9. But my TJ had 8.8. I often see 8.8 (grade 5) used for suspension components. Everyone seems to think that a stronger bolt is better but they fail to understand why it is stronger. A 10.9 is hardened more than an 8.8 which makes it brittle. You only need...

I am expecting to see some pushback as technically you are not supposed to exceed gvwr. You can't put 2500 pounds in your truck and tow a 1500 pound trailer. I was really going after the fact that you have done far more than most to be as safe as you can. From the other towing threads I have...

@aj8544 I want to throw some gas on this fire. Something that has not been brought up yet is GCWR. Gross combination weight rating. The op says he is 290 pounds over but is he? This is a screen shot from the 2020 specs so it may be different for his set up. His weighed combination weight is...

You have bent some pins in the door connector. It seems to be a pretty common problem. It wasn't quite lined up and over they go. I would check the door that was not unlocked first.

Slap them on and go. The only reason you would have any trouble is if you knocked a weight off when you were moving them around. Also, just understand that the JL wheels do not have the same weight rating as the JT wheels. I have not heard of anyone damaging a wheel from overloading but you...

I did just look at all Mopar parts and they list the same part number for the sport and the Rubicon so the ones you swapped to your aftermarket set up should be good to go.

The best answer is maybe. The Rubicon and maybe others now come with select tire fill where the Jeep beeps the horn when you get to your pre selected pressure. There was a lot of talk when the JT first came out as to which sensors you had to have. I would honestly guess that probably later in...
