It only gets worse.

Santa dun did right! Chonky indeed, but really nice. I’ve been begging buddies to go get stuck…. And the eye just barely fits over the beaver step, freeing up the soft shackle for the working end, saving ~$60.

https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/black-lug-nuts.35599/post-820543 Amazon sells these for over $1 a piece, I found the (above) same thing from McMaster a dime each. Round Caps, for 7/8" to 15/16" OD, 1" Inside Height, Black | McMaster-Carr Amazon.com: ColorLugs Vinyl LugCap...

Oh it gets worse than them just selling me a $2K lift.... I let them install it for me :puke: SO, I don't know. Normally I would tackle this sort of thing my self, but 1.) I don't have a good place to work on trucks, and 2.) I don't own the truck yet so I want to keep the build as respectable...

I got upsold, and I'm really glad I did. As to who packages up the lift? I'm not 100% sure it matters... but I wanted a level lift, and it didn't look like the Mopar lift and 1.5" spacers played well together, so I started looking at the Rubicon Express kits (recommended by 4 Wheel Parts). They...

Check the Jack and wrench under the rear passenger seat, just in case. Mine makes a buzzy rattle at luggy RPM over bumps, coming from the rear right side under the bed, it sounds like metal though. I'm pretty sure its a heat shield somewhere but I've never taken the time to chase it.

I forgot that one word in my post. WHITE 4 door wranglers. With white roof and fenders.

Within the last year or two I really started noticing how many 4door Saharas moms are driving around (JK or JL) . The same moms that used to drive the snot out of 4runners.... 1-2 kids, soccer and coffee and stuff, clean rigs, light lift, 33-35" tires.... at least 10 in my area.

The only thing I’m not a fan of on the JL/JT that I would change is the windshield angle. I’ve never liked how far back it leans compared to previous generations. I know it wouldn’t exist at all if they didn’t meet EPA requirements, so I’m ok with it, but this truck just drives it home...

Is he, uuhhhhh…. Is he alive?

Thanks Lee, I will do that. I’m waiting to hear back from insurance on some details before I start working on putting humpty dumpty back together; the back window of the topper and the back window of the cab are the easy parts. Might not would be worth fooling with a deductible. But…. They also...

Quick update! I was getting close to doing a "photoshoot" and a "review".... those of you worried about security? Guess what. soft top jeeps get cut.... this just gives them an extra 2 layers of vinyl to cut through before they get to your back window. They even cut the strap to my kid's seat...

Thanks! I'm excited for both. I don't think I'll try my hand at installing the new baby myself though, so there's a bit of a difference.

I was glad when Quadratec finally said "Preorders start shipping February 15th" instead of "backordered till.. .like, next month maybe?" (or something like that). Mine's been on order, I've hated the wait, but another 2 months is nothing. I have a baby due around the same time, so its gonna go...

I had gone with the 60 extreme, because I had room for it (cause you know, FJ stuff)... I've used it for countless odds and ends at work, but only once or twice to change a tire, and once to winch with. Being the extreme, it has that chain plate thing, which I've always kept on the end as a...

Hear me out here..... I've had a winch on my FJC for ~10 years now, and wheeled a lot. I've been stuck a lot. I've never used the winch once. Digging out, getting pulled out, moving rocks, whatever it was, I've always been able to get free. You know what we used to get un-stuck with when I was...

OP, I feel you, bigtime. Just today, Toyota hosed me on the jackpot payout I was banking on...

Your lucky day, maybe? the lighting’s harsh and the spray is light, but you should be able to see the pattern. These are the do originals.

OH, and regarding brand... I went through a local gear shop that generally uses/recommends Revolution gear sets; they received two front sets, packed as a F/R, so went with a Yukon in the rear to get me rolling again sooner. After about a week or so, the rear gears started howling at~50-55mph...

I went with 4.56. I have 315/70/r17 T/A KO2, they measure right at 34". I have the 6MT, so I notice the change a whole lot more than you 8 speed folks, but I'm happy. 85mph is now really pushing it in 6th gear, 78 is about as fast as I want to cruise (~2,600rpm), and more importantly...
