100% agree. im positive i can build a bus bar system cheaper. i always think of markup as a 'convenience fee'. what do i make an hour? can i build one in my time cheaper taking that into account?
its not even a need, it would only be a QoL upgrade at this point. You are spot on, it is...
thats my thinking as well, just hate spending closer to 800-1k vs $350 for two batteries and two hours of my life. lol.
I run lights and accessories so i want the can bus, i just feel i can build one cheaper but the pull of a complete kit appeals to me, the price point hurts my feelings tbh...
if you stay away from 12.50, you may not rub. my 3.5" true dual rubs the lca with factory wheels.
I have a max tow with the wider axles running a 35x12.50r17. a skinnier or smaller tire may clear. Just my experience with that lift.
edit: you could squeak by. i did for months but it rubbed...
did you or have you considered the genesis dual battery setup? Im interested in this 'upgrade' but it is an expensive upgrade vs changing out batteries.
I have a 2021 as well, still on both original batteries, my start/stop still works too.
this forum and reddit is where i get all my gladiator news.
the r/heep subreddit is pretty awesome too if anyone is bored. SFW btw, but reddit as a whole is not.
I was having DW issues before and after this install.
yes to relocation of the dampner. I found this install relatively easy. took me an hour. can you dm your suspicion? i very well may have made a mistake. Im holding myself solely responsible for the problems with my jeep...
this has been a two year issue on going.
its been two years of throwing money at it and numerous shops working on it. just been a saga that has been frustrating. i can usually fix anything and this one whooped my ass. period.
this is my FIFTH jeep, im not new to the product, lifts, or dw but...
Trackbar bolt was loose at the axle side.
. I’m not sure how, but we loosened every single bolt, retorqued, and remarked.
in the end of this the jeep
got new tires.
2* more caster.
Trackbar bolt at the axle was loose/ Retorqued to specs.
balljoints were diagnosed as good
thank you to...
i did not go back with bfg. i have not been happy with their wet weather performance. they are still stupid quiet but idk if i have issues with tires or everything making it a group effort to cause dw. they have the cracks and splits that alot of members have mentioned. i did go cheap though.
it is getting tires today. the tires were worn and 5 years old. i could have gone a few more 1k mile, but with my issue i opted to put new tires on it.
he just put two more degrees of caster in it and our test drive did not yield positive DW results. tires are next and recheck alignment...
update for those who have commented:
i have swapped wheels. i went back to factory wheels with the same tires and had the same issues. no change. i had to go back to my aftermarket wheels bc the MC HD steering kit did not give clearance with the wheel weights on stock wheels. Again, more...
if you mean the factory steering box, yes. I upgraded to the HD steering system a month or so ago. the drag link and tie rod are aftermarket.
I would agree if i could see movement. This will likely be my last upgrade before selling it. Ill either do mc's or teraflexs. new tires today, due...
Long time member. Multiple jeep owner. First time I legit have exhausted every thing I know.
I own a 2021 JT max tow freedom edition. Lift, wheels, and tires have been on the jeep before its first LOF. Steering kit added at 25k miles. I’m currently at 26k miles. I do not wheel my jeep besides...
it is a pain depending on your control arms. I have to take mine off and to adjust and reinstall, then check alignment again.
Is it hard? No. a PITA and tedious to me? Yes.
I went 6.0 (ish) degrees caster on a mc 3.5 inch lift.
edit; dont listen to me. i have dw and cant figure it out.
because im lazy.
ive had a four channel amp for months now and i just havent. i run two tens under my seat, its fine for my needs.
replaced my soundbar speakers with the mb quarts 6x9 upgrade it was not as noticeable as the front dash speaker replacement.
I want more but ive been happy with...
funny you say this. My transmission does not get to operating temperatures on my drive to or from work. 8 miles about 20 minutes, in town driving. we are a city but not Atlanta style city.
I called jeep to see if it was an issue and they 100% told me, "just take a longer route to work to get...
