  1. Let's have a conversation about inflation...

    Be sure you pay extra and get Nitrogen in your tires, weighs less and is a much more comfortable ride, and it's better for the environment. Nitrogen for the win!
  2. Going with 37" tires(Maxis) was looking at FUEL Shok Rimms. debating 18x9 20mm or 20x9 20mm

    I think most people here will recommend a 17 inch wheel, with that size you will find the largest selection of both wheels and tires, plus from an offroad/ride perspective, more sidewall. My 80th Anniversary JL came with 18s and sucked trying to find tires I liked for it.
  3. 35's vs 37's?

    That's great, I wasn't arguing
  4. 35's vs 37's?

    What exactly do you mean by "save the rims"?
  5. 35's vs 37's?

    For the record Discount Tire has no issues putting 37 12.5 on 7.5 wide wheels. Right or wrong.
  6. How much weight on front end is ok

    I wouldn't mess with the springs on a Mojave, they are specific to the exceptional ride(for a Jeep) that it has. A 1 inch hockey puck will solve any squat you may get.
  7. Labor cost for Clayton 2.5 install

    Ultimately, I did my 2 inch lift myself, but in a lazier moment I got a labor quote to install it and it was 600 bucks from a well-respected shop....in hindsight I should have let them do it, it was a pain in the hiney.
  8. Gear ratio poll for 37” tires on 17” wheels 3.6 gasser

    I am trying to cognizant of where I can shave impacts to other components given that the 6 pounds gets compounded, when its rotating, by 2 to 10 times depending on the formula used. Not clear on the math with that, but I accept there is some impact. Also I think some of the stark differences in...
  9. Gear ratio poll for 37” tires on 17” wheels 3.6 gasser

    I know I am not going to regear so I am struggling with a decision between the crazy light "37" 12.5 KO2 (65 lbs) and the 37 11.5 Nitto Recon (71 lbs) - which isn't a full 37 either but a bit taller than the KO2. I like the narrower Recon and how it looks but it would seem 6 more pounds is a...
  10. Just got my first Gladiator! Need help on mods new to jeeps

    Really not bad at all, I only see 8th now in those conditions. Never see it going up hill.
  11. 35's vs 37's?

    Another item to consider is weight, if one is going add 1000 lbs of bumpers, skid plates, and tents and drive it around that way....you might need tractor gearing. Also, sometimes on these opinions, people dig very expensive holes and are obligated to defend it at all costs...gearing is pricey.
  12. Gear ratio poll for 37” tires on 17” wheels 3.6 gasser

    Curious idea all around, especially with all the"You gotta regear to be right!" mantra around here, but if you check out some other auto forums, even a physics forum, it would appear regearing really just impacts 1st gear and after that it's just the transmission doing its thing and if you...
  13. Just got my first Gladiator! Need help on mods new to jeeps

    I just put the AEV lift on my Mojave, and am torn between the 37 11.5 Recons and 37 12.5 KO2s. Oddly enough the KO2s are 6 lbs lighter. How much of a performance hit did you feel with the Recons?
  14. "Do I REALLY need to re-gear for 37s?" - Yes. Yes you do.

    I would suggest the weight of these "37s" greatly impacts the variance of opinions here, they are anywhere from 65 to over 100 lbs depending on the brand. Never underestimate the impact of additional rotational mass on performance.
  15. Adjusting Trackbar to Center Rear Axle

    Sometimes I hate this forum, this is not something I would have thought of or ever noticed...until now. Thanks.
  16. What's your favorite Bestop mod?!

    I am partial to the twill cloth trifold tonneau cover. Its light, no perm hardware (just 4 clamps). Easy to take off and store if you're hauling something.
  17. Cracked top on brand new 2024 Gladiator Nighthawk

    You're not wrong....I had to get a seat in a canyon replaced(they replaced it) because of an hand print in the middle of the passenger seat after an oil change. A bit like playing Russian roulette with every visit...
  18. Geo brackets?

    I am looking at 37s as well, will need to look at that Clayton rear trackbar.....I think it's the only one out there allowing for a bigger spare
  19. Geo brackets?

    I don't think many doubt that flat control arms ride better, it's more about at what point would it matter to you, 2 - 4 - 6 inches? They look bad from the side, additional low hanging item, and 400 bucks. I am personally good with the longer mopar arms with a 2 inch lift... I can not perceive...
