How do you feel about the longevity of that system? I was scared off by having electronic components down in the muck.

I went with the adjustable Falcon shocks so I can dial in the softness of the ride. We are slow drivers so I’m expecting it will be in soft most of the time.

I’ve rented two gladiators from Avis. They do have long term rates and a Google search will usually turn up some good discount coupon codes.

I posted some photos of my TeraFlex 3.5” lift here if it’s helpful: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/volcano-rated-hawaii-jeep.56617/ They both seem like great kits, so you’ll probably be solid either way.

In my case it ended up being $2,000 tires and about $10,000 in wheels, suspension, regear, shocks, etc. I was really surprised by the domino effect of expensive reinforcements to take on the additional strain of the oversized tires.

I’ve owned 3 jeeps and rented a bunch too, but my new Gladiator is the first one I’ve lifted. If I were you I’d start with no lift and 35” tires and invest in protecting the pink parts with a skid plate system. That will let you offroad most trails, just not the crazy lines. My current Gladiator...

Loaded her up and set sail yesterday! Now I wait another month for the boat to arrive in Hilo. Still trying to find a reasonably priced way to ship the boxed items like the soft top. So far the boxes have been almost $1000 more expensive than shipping the actual Jeep! I made these my desktop...

Here she is with the Warn 10-S, Factor-55 Ultrahook, and @Maximus-3 XLP Hoop. I can't stop staring!

Wheels on! Running 37” BFG KM3s on a 4.88 re-gear. So freaking cool! Next up is the winch and bull bar.

Lift, shocks and new wheels going in over the weekend. I love these Black Rhino Avenger Beadlock wheels. They have a cool technical look and hardly anyone seems to have them.

I had a hard time choosing between the factory spray-on bed liner and the Mopar drop-in hard plastic liner. Drop-in liners are more easily replaceable once they wear out, but I eventually decided to use the spray-on option after I saw that people on this forum about them rubbing through the...

Should be ready for pick up in the next day or two. Thanks for your interest.

These look like higher quality and a better color/texture match than the Hauk and Limitless ones posted to this thread. I'd love to see your photos once you get them in the mail.

One of my favorite technological innovations: Seriously, fumbling through 3 or 4 clicks on my JK to dim the screen while night driving has me loving this!

I know what you mean! I'm having BFG mud terrains installed next week, but yeah that lava rock is brutal. South point and green sands are mostly lava-free but then you have dust coming into every nook and cranny on the way to the beach. Don't you feel sorry for me? :LOL:

Had the dealer install the Mopar trailer brake controller today before driving it over to Taylor @RebelOffRoad today for the serious stuff!

After a nearly 3 month wait, my new Gladiator finally arrived in Long Beach, CA! Next stop is the shop over at @RebelOffRoad for some new shoes and a winch before setting sail to the Big Island!

For anyone interested, these parts should be available next week. Asking $500 for everything or make an offer if you just need bits and pieces.

Price reduced to $1000

I had to make a similar decision recently between the Terflex 2.5" vs 3.5" kits. I eventually decided on the 3.5" kit after my mechanic commented that the 2.5" kit relies on spacers and shims which give you height but no flex/travel whereas the 3.5" kit leverages "useable" lift methods such as...
