I just saw a Gladiator with a similar green line-x as in post #17 in this thread. It looked great! It was on 37s with some nice after-market bumpers and fender flares. Sorry - no pics. Don't want to hijack - but does anyone know who makes bumpers & fender flares with a compass rose for the logo?
This is a reply to m(a)ce:
I was just on another thread here on Jeep Gladiator Forum, and user name "steffen707" also mentioned some freezing issues with the Alu-Cab latches, but he didn't sound too worried about it. Here is his post:
"Nice video! I got the Alu-Cab, but its always nice to...
This is great to hear! I have no first-hand experience with Alucab, RSI, or RLD, so I'm just reading the forums. I've always had a fiberglass topper made by ARE or a similar brand, and they have always had the twist handle. I've had the locks inside the twist handle freeze, and I've also had...
More sidewall is better for off-road, less sidewall is better for on-road performance because less flex in sidewall improves cornering. Its why sports cars have almost no sidewall - you get that super precise cornering (but with a hard ride).
And maybe that’s fine in Tennessee or Pennsylvania - but don’t presume that what works for you at sea level works everywhere. There are a lot of folk on here who live in the Rockies and face very different conditions. I live at 8,500 feet and commute down a steep winding canyon to 5,500 feet...
Depending on how you off-road, a CO2 system might work for you; it is cheaper than ARB - and much faster when airing up. The downside, of course, is that you can run out of CO2. When my off-roading was mostly going to the beach, airing down to head over-sand and then airing back up to head home...
Hey OP - what makes you think that re-gearing your truck will not affect your warranty? I asked my local dealer (I'm also in Colorado), and he checked with the warranty department; he told me that re-gearing voids the entire power-train warranty. Toyota has the same policy, and I believe it is...
No - the rear door of the topper serves as an additional lock for the tailgate, which is actually a feature I like. I eventually got into the bed of the truck that day (though I was a little late for work), and now I carry lock de-icer in the cab.
It would be great to hear from folk who have...
Yeah - kind of a bummer, because all three of these brands make super-nice toppers / campers. I think they are desert-biased, just given their place of origin (which is understandable). I hope they develop a different latch, but I've been iced-out of my topper before, and it can be a real...
These toppers look good and - based on specs - are really strong. However, I hear that the latches on all the South African toppers (AluCab, RSI, RLD) freeze shut quite easily. Numerous complaints about this on Tacoma World (forum). Some report that it doesn’t require freezing rain or snow to...
1. I don't really understand what you are asking.
2. Yes, if you install Eaton E-lockers in your aftermarket axles, those can be wired to the switch gear that comes stock on the dash of the Rubicon. This has become the most popular option at the shop near me, because folks want to keep using...
This is starting to confuse me. You are complaining about the power of the 3.6 - and I agree. But folks have offered up viable options for you - most notably (given your apparent preference to stay with your vehicle) - a supercharger. Here is my previous post, and I'm pasting it in again...
If you were seriously considering the expense of an auto swap (not really a viable option) why not re-gear to 4.88, add a supercharger, and swap in a centerforce clutch? The manual should hold up to the SC with the centerforce clutch and flywheel...
Not trying to come after you personally - but how many issues that are a consequence of poor design and/or cutting corners on quality - will Jeep owners opt to fix themselves out of pocket? For example, the steering issues are easily resolved with higher quality front end components - components...
Yeah - thanks. I've got it sorted now:
6.4 (but not typically referred to as a "392") in the Ram 2500/3500: 410 HP / 429 lb-ft
6.4 ("392") SRT in the Jeep JL: 470 HP / 470 lb-ft
6.4 ("392") SRT in the Challenger: 485 HP / 475 lb-ft
