I assume it helps with stability when towing anything too on say a Max tow. I came from the towing world and these things are definately not purpose built for that. Weird that you wouldn't be able to add the lockers if adding the tubes/axles if the housing itself is the same . But in the end...
Right on, makes sense. I mean I guess what I typed and what I was thinking wasn't super clear but that's kind of what I was assuming. A lot of the Jeep stuff is new to me. I can go through the independent front suspension on a Duramax no problem but this Gladiator is a different beast for...
So Im new to the Jeep world here. But I'm getting that the rubicon models, Max tow and maybe the Mohave have wider axels (I duno maybe more). So my question is does that mean the entire differential is a wider unit or just the axels themselves are longer but same housing? I assume it is an...
I live in the Western part of Canada on the prairies and I can't say I know a single guy thats run the nokians other than for trailer tires. Came from the HD truck scene before getting the Gladiator so take this for what its worth up front. But, I ran a set of toyo M55 (commercial grade tire)...
So apparently this is a recall now. Dropped my 21' 80th anniversary off for a few thing under warranty this mornin and they were suprised and said there is a recal for the Right rear axle due to a possibly leak. Sounds like the same as whats being discussed in this thread. They said it was a...
K 1st off thanks for the reply brother. Second. So literally I'm a real rook here. New guy so go head n laugh but how do I search your pics?!?!?!? Lol I mean could ya post so I (and anyone else) can see? I just got this thing and haven't even taken a lug nut off it yet. Installed a tonneau...
I know this is an old thread but figured maybe somone could confirm here instead of a new post. Can you reuse the stock lug nuts with these wheels? Any need for hub rings?
I've been using the handy tool on https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/ and have a question. When you change the offset coverter tab and plug in a say 9" wide wheel vs the stock 7.5" and set the offest to say -6 vs the stock 44, does it fsctor that in when you go back to the offset...
I see, so when winter hits, for city driving its 4wd auto (similar to a chevy half ton) in thia thing. Then 4wd part time for a mild trail at moderate to regular speed within reason and 4wd low for the low speed stuff as normal. The 3/4 ton and 1 ton chevys don't have auto (until 21' + I...
Just curious without reading the book then googling and forum searching for days. I'm new to the Jeep world with my 21'Gladiator 80th anniversary. Fsr as I can tell it would be like a Sport S pretty much (maybe I'm wrong) I'm from the Chevy world specifically the Duramax world. The transfer...
What is the general consensus for tallest skinniest on stock suspension for snow wheeling? Again, on a 17" wheel. Or is bigger and wider better? Ive always know tall skinny for winter to be best in my past Dmax days. We get winter around here and it lasts forever(at least October to April)...
Awesome. Thanks for the info. Im thinkin maybe it sounds like I should be looking for an 8" wide 17" wheel in a 0 offset possibly then or maybe a 9" wide with a -12 offset(?) if Im thinking right.
Hey, Im new here and to the Jeep scene in general. Been a diesel truck guy forever and a day and now that I don't tow daily and Im still a truck guy Im in a gladiator. I have a set of 285 70 17 BFG AT'S left around from my Duramax. Just got this 21' 80th anniversary withthe 18's on it. Im...
