We ordered a set of method 706 tires with +25mm offset and 5 Delium Terra Raider MT 37x12.5r17 tires for the next modification. They are pretty lightweight tires for their size, but I would end up having to swap out the wheels after I lifted the jeep.
It did pretty well with 37s on the stock...
The next thing I did to the jeep was swap out the factory halogen lights for LEDs. It was cheaper to buy used parts on marketplace and do it myself, than it was to pay for the factory LEDs.
I went with refurbished Oracle tail lights and they have held up well so far. The led turn signals were...
After one night at Kartchner Caverns State Park in AZ, we continued on towards Patagonia Lake for some fishing and paddle boarding.
The EcoDiesel was doing a great job towing the trailer and would hold 8th gear up some steeper grades than I thought it would. If you tow a lot, 33in tires are...
So back in Dec 2023, I took advantage of the discounts offered on gladiators and wound up getting my Sarge Green Ecodiesel for 23% off MSRP ($51k before tt&l).
Carvana bought my 2020 gator sport s for $31k, which allowed me to put a decent sized down payment on the diesel gladiator.
I had the...
That's actually pretty good mileage while towing that setup. Most people get 10-12mpg with the 3.6. When I had my sport gladiator on 33s, I would average about that while towing our FR Wildwood Toy hauler (3200lbs empty, 4500lbs loaded up with a dirt or adventure bike).
Our JTRD towed...
I used the Jscan app to activate the regen cycle and it took about 10 mins to burn everything off. It was the only time it happened to me, but I did not want to deal with it again so the Jeep went on a diet.
I had the same issue on my trip to Colorado last year. I had to pull over and do a forced regen and it seemed to fix the issue. I was towing my toy hauler and it was July in NM.
Thank you! The photos are all from different trips. Colorado was so beautiful and we did all the passes except Black Bear (my family didn't want to do it). The lake is 2 hours from us and we beach camp there frequently and of course Moab every year we can.
I went with the Clayton 2.5" overland+ kit for my Ecodiesel. It was nice that everything came as one complete package ready to put on.
After reading about people using airbags on other lifts when towing, I decided to get the Clayton lift and HD springs. The ride is great on road and off-road...
It is a naturenest clamshell I bought a year ago for $1400 shipped. It's been through hells Revenge in Moab and more and has held up well.
I can make a separate post about it with more details if you would like?
The turnaround time was faster than I expected from Mrtuning. Ordered it March 31st, they received my cloned ECU on April 7th and I had everything to my door by April 21st. Not bad at all.
I can say for sure there is a very noticable improvement in power and throttle response. I opted for the...
We had a 3.6 sport for 4 years and it always felt like it was working hard. Now we have a JTRD and just have to worry about it overheating 😆.
The toy hauler is 3200lbs empty and about 4800lbs loaded down. It is easier to tow with the diesel even on 37s.
To be fair, EOC just refunded me a few hours after I emailed them (minus a $25 admin fee). So I am going to drive around with the stock exhaust for a while and then maybe get the MBRP axle back.
