Shopping the mopar site:
1 lift kit 1695
1 hardtop black textured 2660
5 JPP 17" beadlock capable wheel with beadlock plate 2685
5 BFG Krawler T/A KX 37x12.5x17 with mount, balance, disposal, programing... 3000
5 TPMS with install 300
So we are at 10,340 before installing the lift. I'm sure...
Me... I'd keep the stock wheels and tires for various reasons such as winter, long drives to the trails, when you skewer a trail meat..
I'm not sold on 37s but perhaps its because I only have the stock 255s and some 12.5x35s. I'm much more interested in retaining as much gearing and...
You mean in 2035 when they use it in some holographic haptic advertising playing on the theme of retrofuturism, a jeep that might have been, to show off cool upcoming EJS 2036 concepts?
Do you remember how long we had to wait just to get the gladiator?
Remember how long it took to get a diesel wrangler?
Do you?
I feel like you do. It's cool. I can give you a hug if it helps because I know how much it hurts everytime they do this. Every'couple of years they come slinking...
Well thi k back the CJ8 scrambler and CJ6 bodies, they were unitized tubs, the whole body was the whole body. The J8 milspec jk cousin is the same way.
So now picture a modern gladiator in two or 4 doors with JL/JLU overhangs and break over angle.
Insert scrambler image here. Now imagine a...
Speaking for my own plowing habbits, I would rather run out of truck power/traction than plow capacity as to my eye, you run less of a risk of damaging equipment. The light duty plows are better suited to things like plowing at low speed in an Explorer or unibody Blazer. They also more suited...
Which is funny because mine was the otherway around. I was after more down pressure and was willing to sacrifice slow raise times and a stiffer float. My plowing conditions do not have much undulation but scrape is very important.
I'm jealous of municiple roadway guys, just pushing off most...
My suspension is a bit bastard, rancho 5000 2" shock and spring lift and 2" puck lift. With the plow on I drop about an inch or so. With the stock rubi suspension it sagged a bit, closer to 2"-3".
The ultramount, essentially a bigger boy version of your mount, the "shoes" come off with 2 pins but the cross member still takes up space. But as you say, if you aren't concerned about giving up the space the issue is moot. For me "most" of my wheeling with the 35s on means the crossmember is...
But then you the snow flap?
I'm teasing. My factory set did a few seasons and then got replaced with 36" hi-viz sticks.
I keep telling myself I'll replace them... it never happens.
The install looks good though. You are going to have to remove the frame members if you want approach...
Well... we are both right and both wrong if ya'dig. I put the terms in quotes to draw a distinction between those who overland and those who are "overlanders". I see a lot of rigs in the lots of "offroad shops" getting thousands on thousands of dollars applied in "upgrades" for trucks that...
If they were so interested in showing us the camper... where's the camper?
They mind as well have asked us the click the sound and check out the link in their bio.
I'm sorry we didn't immediately fall to our knees and begin telling them how big and wonderful it was and how it was the best...
