  1. Bent Frames - Big Thing or isolated?

    Yep, we're at or over GVWR so I'm building mine up accordingly. Just ordered the Shift Autowerx brackets and a rear truss as a precaution, possibly going with a D60 rear in the year. Front axle is already trussed and running RCVs. It's all pay to play with this stuff, and at least the JT has a...
  2. Another Gladiator build....White JTRD

    If you don't mind me asking, what kind of sale did you find on the ECGS D60 semi float rear axle (4.56 ratio E-locker)? Can the E-locker be wired up to the factory switch?
  3. 2022 Gladiator Rubicon Ecodiesel Build

    Air bags installed. Spacers from Air Lift 60743, spacers and bags from Air Lift 60818HD, and Air Lift 73000EZ. 30PSI pictured. I pulled the rear springs and found they're the Dobinson C29-247VB coils (3" 440-660lb constant load), not the C29-249VB coils (3" 880-1210lb constant load) I hoped...

    I either misremembered, the air bags fixed a lot more sag than I thought, or probably a combination of both. Photo right under the front door (passenger side, about the same on the driver's side).
  5. 2022 Gladiator Rubicon Ecodiesel Build

    The step is about 21.5" off the ground IIRC (measured a few days ago, so there is a small chance I'm misremembering). I'll take a measurement later today and post if it's any different. It's not a problem for either of us, but we're used to getting in and out of lifted vehicles. Neither of us...

    Thanks. You don't see too many of them but they're great rigs. Yours is really nice as well. Mine only has a C10 with 385hp/1350tq (biggest engine they had in the Magna in 2000, you could get the C12 in the Affinity) but we've hauled our Ram Power Wagon all over the west coast and CO and many...

    Thanks. My wife loves driving the JT. We sold the Outback and are planning to sell the Power Wagon. She does not like driving my lifted Power Wagon, but had no issues driving my Ram 3500 DRW (when we had a fifth wheel) or 5500 (when we had a truck camper)... she says she can't see out the Power...

    Transfer case in neutral, transmission in park. And go. Ignition can be off and no need to leave the keys in it or anything. We use a Blux Ox Allure tow bar and Demco Air Force One braking as well.

    Did you even read the post? 4.56s already installed and running 40s.
  10. 2022 Gladiator Rubicon Ecodiesel Build

    Me too. I'll take it across a Cat scale at some point, but I'm aware that it is heavy and knew that would be the case going in. I will probably throw a Dana 60 under the rear when we come back here next winter, as well as get the new frame truss from Shift Autowerx in the next couple months...

    I'm a network security engineer by trade. We live in a highly customized 2000 motorhome, keeping an older rig like that going strong and spending lots of time in places where you can't get support services means carrying a full set of tools to work on it yourself. We spend about half the year...
  12. 2022 Gladiator Rubicon Ecodiesel Build

    We travel full-time and currently tow a 2022 Power Wagon, which replaced a 2020 JLUR a couple years ago. Our truck hauls a lot of tools and camping gear. My wife doesn't like driving the lifted Power Wagon (on 38s), so she's been following behind our motorhome in a Subaru Outback the past...
