I have a set of the 17 x 8. If I recall right the 9" adds to the outside lip and the backspace remains the same. Watch your lug nut torque up if you get them. The factory lug nuts were acting like they bottomed on the studs before coming up to torque. If you want tell me what kind of photos you...

https://erepairables.com/salvage-cars-auction/jeep/gladiator some worse than others. I do like seeing how well they survive a beatdown but there is one on there that is really mangled.

The texture is in the paint the factory painted it with. The texture will knock down just fine without breaking through.

One of the slickest I have seen was some local bear hunters had a rig set up with a ramp with rollers on it (like a box conveyor) and a rope and pulley setup in the front of the bed. Dirt simple and worked really well dragging a bear into the truck

Thanks for the write up and review Shadow. I feel your pain. Makes me happy that I got impatient (one of my more negative qualities) and installed the Redarc. I thought the "factory unit" would be integrated into the display as well. Huge disappointment. It sucks when a manufacturer capable...

Can't explain that other than what shadow stated but then the question arises...why did it come back on the same tank of fuel? The exhaust heat shields can be a source of all kind of mysterious sounds, one could be bent a little and intermittently touching something else. It is fairly easy to...

Check your exhaust heat shields for little rocks. Had one in my tundra that drove me bonkers for three months

I don't think the cost would be that great even if you had a body shop prep and paint it. The hardest part is sanding the texture smooth but an orbital sander with 220 followed up with 360 did just fine. I left the texture on the top part (the white on mine) because A) the texture with the white...

Mine say 8079 lbs towing according to the website. I don't think I'll be trying that. I had around 7000 on it for a very short haul (1.5 miles) and on level road at low speed. Was a little tongue heavy as well. Would not do this at high speeds. Handles 5000 just fine.

Was a "jeep guy" for years until practicality reared its ugly head. Keep in mind this was before creature comforts were a priority (air conditioning, staying dry and warm in the rain, being able to haul more than a deflated beach ball and so on.). Had several full size and mid size trucks. Last...

came from a 2012 Tundra rock warrior. Liked the truck, ran like red assed ape but didn't need the towing capacity that it had anymore. Love the Gladiator. Felt a bit claustrophobic at 1st compared to the rolling cavern I had but that soon went away. I rarely used everything the tundra had power...

11000 miles and zero issues. Very pleased.

I knew what it was from the first photo. I install these in my fleet vehicles. I will tell you that anyone that has weird electrical gremlins it is a good thing to look for. I have had a few of these cause intermittant issues in vehicles. Affected the Ram trucks more than the Fords and the Rams...

Personally I have always used a torque wrench on lug nuts unless it was beside the road in which case I took care of it asap. I worked on Caterpillar equipment for years at a dealership and torque was critical on a majority of fasteners. Some of that stuff was 3500ft lb+ I personally don't like...

what I am questioning is how did you find a 10mm socket to use for scale? Mine evaporate after one use.

I am pretty sure you have to run at a speed above maybe 20mph constantly for 10 min. for a relearn. My new ones set up on their own after 12 miles and learned their positions.

I agree with my esteemed colleagues in that having a large live lead running to the front is not a great idea. In an accident it can cause a bad scene. I installed a 500 amp power relay for mine wired to the aux switches. A simple and cheap option is a welding lead connector on the hot lead or...

I am not buying the "bad gas" excuse. Have them provide the gas chromatography report on gasoline that shows all the metals and so forth...I'm betting they can't. Your vehicle is having a multi/random misfire. This can be caused by a lot of things and can be very difficult to diagnose. The 1st...

that is the Gladiator conversion from Innovative Auto Creations. They are first class fiberglass parts and required very little fitting. Have one on my rig

I agree though I have seen little mud and only in snow once. I have been extremely satisfied with my kendas. Have over 7000 miles on them and just starting to show wear and ready for a rotation. You are right about the rock chucking, in a a variety of directions and at high velocity. They track...
