Might be my wording, but that was the point I was getting at. For a 700hp mojave it's a hell of a deal. I got a great deal on my 2023 mojave at $53k out the door (msrp of $65k). With the suspension, bumper, winch, tires, etc I'm another $10k into it shopping killer deals and doing all the...

A. You can't get a 392 gladiator stock B. With the introduction of the JLU willys 392 they can be had around $63k C. Not that the 392 is a slouch, but the extra ~230hp is like having the 392 and the 3.6L powering the truck Obviously it's not remotely worth it to those that find the 3.6L...

I've had the exact same conversation with the wife already. It's already lifted and modified the way I want and even the $38k for the 6.4L is way cheaper than a new truck. She was surprisingly on board.

The VVT adds something like 20% more power under the curve in the dyno videos I've seen so I'd hardly call that "just to complicate it". I'm with you on the MDS being useless, but that's easily turned off with a tazer no limits or other aftermarket plug in option. Even in the stock "complicated"...

You can keep the overly complicated and failure prone I6. The power AND reliability is why so many want the v8. The 5.7L in my ram was driven hard for 120k miles with nothing but basic maintenance. Still problem free when I sold it.

Amw charges $89k for the 707 swap alone, so hell yeah it's worth it if that is the direction you want to go with your build.

If it was a front bumper mount it would make total sense

We can make all the excuses we want for posting JL products on the JT forum, but that's what they are. "But 1-5,000 gladiators could use it, after their custom rear tire mount" Look at the thread title, nobody is mounting their traction boards on the roof of a JT. We have a bed? The overland...

If you don't need 4wd, you don't need to lock the diff either. The beauty of the tazer is it works in all modes and at any speed. I wouldn't own a Rubicon without one. Snownuts is the only benefit of the rear locker in 2wd in my opinion. The front locker only on some climbs is more beneficial.

You described exactly what I said in long form. It's not axle steer under small suspension movements on road, it's control arm angles. The forces being transmitted almost 100% vertically due to flat arms is the improvement you feel on road. You get the same improvement with drop brackets. I've...

The bump steer you feel driving on road is in no way related to axle steer. Yes it's a real phenomenon, but you have to stuff 1 side and droop the other to get any significant axle steer even with short arms. Hitting a speed bump or pothole isn't causing any measurable axle steer unless you're...

Have you run a hydro assist? The cylinder is resistant to movement due to the pressurized cylinder. The 2" ram on my old XJ absolutely eliminated any bump steer or shimmy. Even when a tie rod end was worn out or the drag link was bent and the alignment was jacked. No it won't eliminate the...

Removing the flip isn't going to make things better, and the steeper the angle the wise it will be. A flip AND track bar raise move the passenger ends of both up equally. Ask they do is lessen the angle. I don't think they are off as much as you think. The drivers side ends aren't perfectly in...

No JL has multirate or multistage springs from the factory. They are all single rate. They are soft at any point in the travel though. If you were comparing like models, ie rubicon to rubicon or sport to sport, they'd ride pretty similar on road with the wheelbase being the biggest difference...

Weird that $2k+ shocks ride better than $200 ones...

We moved to PA for a year 2 decades ago. At least 50 people asked if it was the 1st time I'd seen snow every time it snowed. They watch bay watch and Beverley hills 90210 and think that's all of CA. Meanwhile most of them have never seen a mountain.

I tried to just snug up the drivers side upper with it as it was a bitch to get the ratchet on from where I was at...and it snapped that bolt in half as soon as it got tight. Don't use it on smaller bolts, lesson learned.

The one you linked shows 1170ftlbs breakaway which is less than 1400 in my math?

https://a.co/d/000zj26L it has more torque than the ryobi. It's what I keep in the Jeep for tire rotations or trail repairs.

There's a lot of useless responses in here. The reality is the rear suspension is a copy of the Rams, which works great with a stiff suspension with limited travel. The stock uppers are half the length of the lowers resulting in pinion dive when the suspension droops and pinion rise when it...
