No plans yet! I work at SpaceX and having time off for an adventure is few and far between... Honestly If I go on an adventure it'll most likely be in my Comanche. I really wish you guys made more wheels for the 5x4.5 bolt pattern! I would totally buy another set of 5 if I could get the rt109...
Well admittedly I didn't do any shopping around, but the price was so much cheaper then what I'm accustomed to in the Portland Oregon area that I said fuck it and just scheduled it immediately. I can say I was very impressed with the shop and the guys working there, and would 100% go back again...
Currently have Rock Krawler 1.5" front springs on the way to replace the Rubicon springs with the teraflex leveling kit. Also ordered the Metal Cloak rear sway bar to get me some breathing room between the rear trac bar and the spare tire. I also picked up some Falcon shocks from forum member...
Made an appointment with Exodus 4x4 in New Braunfills TX to get my gears done. Ended up going with 5.13s. I am super pleased with how it turned out! Seemed like most were suggesting 4.88s for 37s but stock I found that sixth gear (Manual transmission) seemed super underpowered, almost unusable...
Ordered some RockTrix wheels off eBay and got the 37s mounted up. For how cheap the wheels are I am really impressed by them. They look fantastic minus the center caps! The guys at the tire shop were super skeptical about the tires fitting, it was actually pretty funny I had to nudge them a bit...
Found some 37s on marketplace. Seller was asking 1200 for all five of them but after some negotiations and them sitting for a month or so I was able to pick up all 5 for 800. They are in fantastic shape Im thinking I got a steal.
Had a great 4th, toke some time off. Starting to feel bad for my Comanche, I need to get back to that project... Once I have wheels tires and gears on the Gladiator Ill probably be returning to Comancheclub.com to try to finish up that build... LS is almost done just needs the fuel lines and...
Powder coat shop had my bumper ready 4 hours after I dropped it off.. I mounted it up immediately. Super happy with how it turned out! Its been mounted for about 2 months now and still looks fantastic with zero chips or rust.
If your in south Texas I highly recommend checking out EHP Powder...
Soon as the bumper showed up I decided to get to cutting the front end. It was a task but not horrible, MotoBilt sends a Jig to mark everything up making the overall process pretty simple. 100% would recommend and am planning on purchasing more from them.
Dropped off the bumper for powder next...
I found these scratch and dent fenders on eBay and just couldnt pass them up... Got them from the seller UnionStat. He wouldnt tell me what the brand is, but Im not to worried about that... I like them no matter what brand they are. Also came with the light kit which gave me zero error codes on...
After a week of driving it I found some Rubicon springs locally and ordered a teraflex leveling kit to get me a little more height. Tires are looking pretty small now...
First week I had it, I got hit from the side from a girl driving in the bike lane trying to pass me... Im no slow driver by any means, I live about a five minute drive from the border in Brownsville and the drivers here make me think were in Mexico most of the time.
Hey everyone, decided to make a build thread to track my progress and also because its nice to know all my information is saved here. This will be a very bare minimal build as I have a Comanche that is my main build and this is more of a fun daily driver for me. The road to work is pretty...
This is the setup that the WJ's were setup with, and if your not aware lemme tell ya they were probably the most road friendly solid axle jeeps ever made in my opinion.
Where are you located in Texas? Im driving from Brownsville to New Braunfills this friday to get my gears done, may work out for me to stop and get these also.
