I couldn’t find any discounts either, but I did stop by and see one installed on Friday. Much better than any other overhead molle panel I’ve seen In a JL or JT. Thinking about upgrading mine…..
I have a 21 Diesel as well with 4.5” of lift on 38’s. Never drove it stock…… so I can’t comment on before and after the lift.
Mine was fine for about 40k. By then all of the steering was worn out and replaced, the dead spot was more pronounced but all of the popping and funky noises in the...
I’ve been using an ARB twin and speedflate 4 tire set up for 3 years.
Valve stems made a big difference. I have the Apex Designs RPV. Takes 8-10 min to go from 18 to 32 psi (Nitto 38 x 13.50r17)
Usually air up or down faster than anyone in our Jeep group, but I’m sure a power tank would be quicker.
I have about 1200 miles on mine now and it’s much better than the stock box, no dead zone in the center anymore And no wandering on the highway. I tried to adjust the stock box a couple of times and never could get all of the play out of it.
I haven’t added the cylinder assist yet but I’m...
I have owned both - 4 door JL Rubicon’s
2018 JL with the 3.6 on 33’s. We put ~40k on it, my wife’s daily driver for work. Not a single problem with it. used Prices were crazy so we sold it for what I paid new and ordered a 2021 Diesel. Very impressed with the reduced engine noise on the...
I am thinking about relocating the windshield washer fill line closer to the radiator and using the space next to the master cylinder for the remaining items. Plenty of existing bolts to use for mounting…… or possibly a second tier in the existing location. I’ll add some pictures when I get...
I’m running the Switch Pros
Found some aluminum in the garage and made a bracket for the module on the drivers side and one for the switch panel on the overhead molle panel
Powdercoated the brackets
After talking to dynatrac, Currie, Fusion and Exodus I think I’ll just keep saving for a set of 60’s.
The hybrid axles for the Gladiator only end up about $1,000 - $1,500 less by the time you add HD steering components and Reid racing knuckles.
Leaning towards a set of 70” wide 60’s from Currie...
Thanks informative video.
Looks like both Currie and fusion have similar offerings
I know 2 folks with Gladiators that have broken the front at the fad, one on 37’s with stock Rubicon axles and one on 38’s that was trussed. Just a little nervous about the stock axles and I could really use a...
Does anyone have experience running a Dana 44/60 hybrid Axle on a Gladiator?
Looks substantially stronger than the stock axle with the Fad and probably less expensive than doing the truss, gear change, Reid knuckles and RCV upgrades. Can also sell the stock Rubicon axle to offset some of the...
JT Rubicon Diesel on 37’s and a 3.5” lift with stock 3.73 gears
(didn’t drive it stock so I don’t have any comparison data)
Set up for overlanding, rack, RTT, fridge etc.
Averaging 22 on the Highway 65-75 mph. Over 75 and the mpg starts dropping significantly.
My GMC diesel duramax acted...
Finally received my parts and finished the build.
Teraflex 3.5” lift with Alpine IR control arms
Matte Red Method Wheels and Maxxis 37’s
EVO rock sliders
Next Venture bumper and skid
Apex steering boost kit
Rebel Xplor rack
Turned out great and the diesel pulls the 37’s without any issues...
Arrived at the train station in Salt Lake 3/3. Delivered to the dealership late today. Hopefully get through PDI tomorrow and I’ll pick it up!
6 weeks from order to hitting the dealership. Not bad.
Never had a build sheet or window sticker show up on the tracker
My Diesel was on the train Monday and still can’t find anything on the tracker. With a little luck I could have it next week, scheduled to be in the Roper train yard on 3/2.
Jeep Chat confirmed my Gladiator is in transit to the dealership.
Salesman sent a text at the end of the day confirming it’s on a rail car due into the final yard by 3/2. Then it’s transported via truck to the dealer. Hopefully have a delivery date early next week after the transport truck is...
