Thank you! I'm very happy with how it turned out. I also had the issue with Quadratec having them on backorder. @Northridge4x4 will price match, and when I showed them the link to the Analogs at Quadratec, they had the wheels at my door in 4 days. It was impressive!
I wouldn't buy it, but I like it. My first Jeep was a 1995 YJ...it had no radio, no a/c, no power steering, no carpet in the back, but it was more fun than any vehicle I've ever owned. I like the homage to the YJ!
I agree, if you can do it for $1k, it's well worth it. I had Selec-Trac in my JLU, and it is seamless. I've heard others question the durability of the Selec-Trac system, but it's standard on the 392, so I feel like it must be stout.
I came from the JL forums, and there was a great discussion about this over there. I think this should help;

This one has part numbers...
I got so much good information from this thread, and wanted to contribute now that I have lift and tires installed.
Mopar 2" lift with 3/4" Daystar spacer in front. Fifteen52 Analog HD 17" x 8.5" rims with 0 offset, and 285/75R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers (C Load Rating).
I have washed all my cars in my driveway, and can't ever remember going to a carwash. Most of the time, it's something I enjoy. As I was outside washing my Jeep today, I realized I never see any of my neighbors washing their car, and assumed they take it to a carwash. There is a whole aisle...
I agree the two door version would be great looking. I like my Gladiator a lot, but the proportions take some getting used to. The two door doesn't have that problem. At the same time, I doubt there is a business case for such a vehicle. FCA has positioned this as a premium vehicle in it's...
it sounds like Hendricks has treated you very well, and I donāt blame you for keeping your business there. Iāve tried dealing with them on my last two Jeeps, and they insist on those dealer addendums. That is a whole ānother thread, but I refuse to start at an inflated sticker price.
Well, the dealership experience is consistent for me if nothing else. I picked the Jeep up, and as I was unloading the box I noticed the instructions didnāt look like theyāve been touched. So I crawled under the Jeep and started comparing part numbers. Sure enough, they put the rear left spring...
I can't think of another industry where lying, deception, and incompetence are so systemic. I appreciate a guy's gotta feed his family, but it shouldn't require this. I can see why you would want out.
I absolutely agree. Part of my frustration is that I am fully capable of installing this lift kit. I have all the tools and know how to do it right. But in the eyes of FCA, I'm not a professional, and my Gladiator would be DQ'd from a service contract. It's like being held hostage, basically.
Like many of you, I avoid the dealership service department at all cost. 3 years of free maintenance? No thanks, I'd rather do it myself....I know how to count to 5 quarts. I decided to go with a Mopar lift on my Gladiator, and in an effort to not disqualify my Jeep from a service contract, I...
