  1. How much lift do you need to wheel on 35s with sway bars disconnected in a Sport?

    So there has been plenty of discussion regarding getting 35s onto a stock Gladiator. Looks like a Rubi suspension and levelers will get you there for on road driving. But just looking at the gap left over doesn’t seem like it would be enough for off-roading with a lot of articulation. So my...
  2. Black Friday?

    I’ve owned my Gladiator for less than a month and it’s my first off-road vehicle so I’ve never been Black Friday shopping for parts, accessories, etc. Is this even a thing? Are there good deals to be had? If so, what types of products and where? Thanks!
  3. Are Rubi and non-Rubi rear fenders the same?

    Clearly there’s a difference in the front. Is there a difference in the back, too? Seems like there would be but just checking. Thanks.
  4. 12v access on front bumper?

    I’m not saying I should, but it seems like I could... Similar to installing 12v in the bed, I’m wondering about drilling out the soft plastic bezel around the fog light and adding a 12 receptacle up front. If I did it (and I’m not saying I would), I’d route it through the aux panel so I could...
  5. Would this bumper fit?

    So I’m sure everyone is aware of the OEM steel bumper look-a likes on eBay. However, one seller is also selling a JK version for less. https://www.ebay.com/itm/114132847857 I’ve read elsewhere that JK bumpers can fit JL and JT. By all accounts, this appears to be identical to the JL/JT...
  6. How hard is it to install Rubi springs/shocks?

    I got a quote from my mechanic to install a lift for $600. And by install a lift, I mean upgrade my Sport S with Rubicon springs and shocks. I’m adding levelers in the front and back which come with instructions. I haven’t shopped around but I suspect that’s fair. But I’m trying to save money...
  7. Did you name your Gladiator?

    I’m a first-time Jeep owner, but I’m noticing a lot of people naming their Jeeps. Did you name yours? And if so, what and why? Just curious!
  8. Texas WTT My black textured hardtop for Gobi

    It’s probably a long shot, but asking is free! I’ve got a black textured top and I’m looking for a painted top.
  9. Any experience with Quadratec bumpers?

    So I saw this bumper, and I like the look, but I wanted to get opinions on quality. Has anyone had experience with Quadratec bumpers? Or even their products in general? Thanks. https://www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/qrc-front-winch-ready-bumper-jeep-wrangler-jl-gladiator-jt
  10. Recommended sway bar disconnects?

    As the title says, are there any recommendations for sway bar disconnects? I’ll be adding Rubi front springs and shocks so I figure I’ll have my mechanic do this while he’s in there. I’m not sure it’s relevant, but I also plan for a 1.5” leveler up front.
  11. Maxing tire size AND hauling with Max Tow

    Hey y’all. I’ve got a stock max tow and I’m thinking of raising it a bit to clear larger tires. right now, my max tow is 2” higher than the front. I don’t want any rubbing with whatever I choose. But I also want to optimize towing and hauling if I decide I want to overland in this thing. I’ve...
  12. Help me find a particular grille guard?

    I came across a bolt-on grille guard for the Rubicon steel bumper and now I can’t find it. I wish I’d saved it. It’s wider than most such guards and attaches to the bumper at 4 points. I’m hoping it’s an easy task for someone who comes across this. Thanks!
  13. What’s your upgrade order of operations

    I’m assuming most people tackle the wheels, tires and suspension first, (if they’re going to at all) but then what did you pick? I’m not expecting their to be a “right” answer. I’m just interested in hearing people’s stories. I’m in that situation now and can’t decide. Do I want aux lights? Rock...
  14. Sport S w/ Rubicon suspension, 1.5” leveler & 33s

    My plan is to install both a Rubicon suspension and a 1.5” Teraflex leveler on my Sport S all at once and then upgrade my wheels/tires to take-off 33s. My long-term plan once the 33s wear out is to move up to 35s. My question is... Will this look weird in the meantime? I’m thinking not, but I...
  15. So I had this cool idea to paint my tow hooks orange...

    And then I saw the Mojave already has them. Now I’m torn because I think they would really cool with my Gobi. So let me ask... I should also mention that (entirely coincidently) I’m buying a set of Mojave take-off wheels and tires. If you saw someone do this, would you think them a poser?
  16. Texas Sold: WTB painted fenders (preferably or trade for black textured

    As the title says, I’m looking for painted fenders. If they were painted in Gobi, that would save me a trip to the paint shop and some $$$. And Rubicon is preferred but not required. I’m in the DFW area. Thanks!
  17. Painting just the sides / back of a black textured hard top

    For someone who it budget conscious but really wants a painted freedom top, what do you all think about just painting the sides and back and leaving the top and freedom panels black? I don’t know how much difference that would make on price but I would think it would be significant considering...
  18. Will Rock Hard rocker guards work with Teraflex 1.5” leveler?

    Excuse my ignorance. I’m new to most of this and trying to catch up. If I install Teraflex 1.5” levelers, is that going to create a gap between the body and the frame which would prevent using Rock Hard rocker guards? I’m slowly selling myself on both of these add-ons. If it matters, I’ve got...
  19. Looking for side step / rock slider recommendations

    Hey y’all! I’ve done a lot of window shopping online and a lot of forum creeping, but I’m still not sure I’ve found the right side steps for my needs. I’m looking for... 1. Something decently sturdy and well-made, but they don’t have to be full-on rock sliders 2. Something affordable (though I...
