Oh, I have plenty of power and torque. I'm just saying that, in 4 Hi, my truck has proven to be very capable in snow/icy conditions. Moreso than any previous 4wd vehicles I have owned. I believe that the limited slip differential, the traction control system, and the Patagonia XT's all...

We just got a Winter blast here in northwest Alabama. It started as ice, then added 4-5" of snow (mixed with more ice). It has now packed down to a solid sheet of the hard stuff. I am amazed. I don't know if it is the capability of these trucks, or the Patagonia XT's. Maybe both, but in 4...

Beautiful truck. Looks to me like it has already got some kind of levelling lift in the front.

How do you like those 35's with 3.73 gears? I ask because I would like to go up in tire size next time.

Oh, no, I won't replace the present LSD until the clutch packs are worn out. I've read all sorts of conflicting reports pertaining to clutch life so I don't know when that will happen! I, too, was drawn to the Willys for the LSD. I didn't, and still don't think I will ever need a locker for...

I would rather replace the clutch type LSD with a helical type when the clutches wear out, instead of rebuilding the clutch packs.

I'll start it off. Mine is not radical. (I'm an old guy.) I went with 34" Patagonia XT tires, 1.75" wheel spacers, a winch buried in the stock plastic bumper, front levelling kit, and Barricade Rocker steps. My next mod will probably be an Eaton Truetrac in the back, or maybe Truetracs front...

I think Goo Gone would get it as well.

Merry Christmas, ya' filthy animals. ?

Had a '79 Triumph Spitfire back in the day...and 3 ragtop Jeeps. A pan full of hot tap water will do the trick. Trust me.

Hot water works well. No chemicals to possibly mar the window, either.

I'm not dumping on JTDean for trading for a Chevy. To each his own. And I'm not dumping on you, Sweetums. I've just read, over and over on this forum, how the Gladiator ride is terrible. I'm just saying if you don't like the way it rides and handles, then don't buy it. But don't buy one and...

I know I'm gonna start a ****storm here, but why all the complaints about JT ride quality? Go ride in a CJ, a YJ, or even a TJ. Hell, if you want a wonderful ride, get a Cadillac, already. This is arguably, the most capable offroad truck on the planet. Do you expect it to ride on the highway...

I've got 34's on my Willys (3.73). It does hunt between 7th and 8th gear, but it did that to some extent with the factory 32's. It has plenty of power and I'm averaging around 18.5 mpg with the larger tires. You should be fine with 33's.

You may need to bash a little here, friend. We need to rule out what doesn't work! Thanks.

Good luck with that. :CWL: :jk:

I went with the LoD plate and the Harbor Freight fairlead mount. You may find that you will need spacers between that fairlead mount and the outer bumper skin. I went with Max4x4Chris method of using 2 fairleads from Amazon as spacers to fill that gap. They're hidden inside the bumper and...

Oh yeah. Great for all kinds of things around the house. I grubbed some rose bushes from around the house. My wife couldn't believe how easy it was to rip those things out of the ground! I've guided trees to be felled with my winch many times.

Mine approved a new hood within a few minutes after I showed them the bubble on the front edge.
