I added an ARB air locker to the front of my Mojave and it works great. I think this is the ideal solution for rock crawling when one tire can't get as much grip as the other. In these low-speed scenarios, an LSD in the front likely wouldn't actuate as well as desired and therefore wouldn't give...
Mojave is about 2" higher in the front than a Sport from the factory and 1" higher than a Rubicon. From the factory it's not going to accommodate bigger than a 35" without rubbing. It's expected that 37s rub without an aftermarket lift. You could try to trim out your fender liners to avoid...
My hitch slider scraped several times, and I scraped the bottom of my back bumper corner a couple times. Nothing severe and I’d guess you’d have the same experience.
My OEM front driveshaft boot would rub on the exhaust crossover while flexed out because of the thick diameter of the shaft, so I...
I did not measure, I just bought the one they make for the JT Rubicon that has the OEM-style flange, so I did not have to replace the flange coming out of the pinion, it just bolts right up. They have 3 JT variations - Sport, Overland, and Rubicon. I bought it from one of the big suppliers, but...
Thank you! Yours looks awesome too. I actually have some drop brackets for Christmas - I still have the stock JTM Fox shocks and it feels bumpy, but I feel pretty confident the drop brackets will help me too. I'll of course post back after I get them installed.
Looks awesome. Love those wheels with the white truck! I also have a Fox ATS adjustable stabilizer.
It might not be the shocks - the 2.5 DSC's are great shocks and are known for not being too firm. The COR 3.5 lift is tall enough (at 4-4.5" actual front lift over stock) that it creates a steep...
Thanks! I'm lucky to have it.
I would say the 5.13s give a little more oomph than the 4.10s w/ 37s off-road, but really it's not all that noticeable of a difference. Any improvement is more noticeable at speed than slow on the rocks. The 4:1 low range that your Rubicon's transfer case has will...
Nice. I actually ordered the MetalCloak drop brackets on Black Friday and they finally arrived today. Good to hear they worked great for you - I’ll be installing soon!

High steer/drag link flip and track bar relocation - Synergy Mfg.
Although my Gladiator drives pretty well, it doesn't drive quite as well as stock. One way is when going over a diagonal crack, such as a driveway at an angle, or a bridge seam on the freeway. The Jeep "lurches"...
This time the “harsh” line at the root/base of the tooth seems to be paint being thick down there, rather than from the pinion gear rubbing in a flat line at the root of the tooth, if that makes sense. The arc I’ve drawn shows the edge of the pattern the pinion is making, which is not a harsh...
