  1. Exchange or partial refund

    If you add a sticker it instantly adds 50hp btw... :CWL:
  2. Lets see all those Gladiators with lifts and bigger tires!

    Sport S Max Tow Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit DX4 Gear wheels Cooper Evolution M/T’s 35 12.5x17
  3. What Tires and Why?

    Cooper Evolution M/T’s... Forget BFG’s or Toyo’s... No, just kidding, run what feel comfortable using. This is my 4th Jeep that I’ve put Coopers onto and honestly can’t be happier. The price point for a set of 35’s is way better than the majority of its competitors, they hold up, they’re not...
  4. Tumbleweed Offroad... Errr, Overlanding

    Let’s continue where I left off... We ground tent camped and realized we needed a new tent, yes we threw away the old one before we left Moab. Decisions and impatience led me to watching wayyyy too many RTT reviews on YouTube and another trip on the horizon which really narrowed the options. The...
  5. Tumbleweed Offroad... Errr, Overlanding

    And then... stupid quarantine, the toll it has taken has been incredible but it has made me realize how much I value each day I have to explore the world around me. We were able to hit a super slim window and ran up to Moab. Lessons learned, enjoy some of the best stargazing at Arches...
  6. Tumbleweed Offroad... Errr, Overlanding

    First mods, a set of Milestar Patagonia’s, Teraflex leveling kit, RuggedRidge winch, and EBay bumper. You know just enough to be slightly dangerous, or adventurous... Chug approved!
  7. Tumbleweed Offroad... Errr, Overlanding

    So here’s the idea, build up a daily driver I can use for extended overlanding trips without taking a second mortgage and not making a lot of the same mistakes I made with my ’12. My priorities: 1. Suspension, keep it close to stock but still provide clearance for decent trails and a set of 35’s...
  8. Tumbleweed Offroad... Errr, Overlanding

    So maybe I shouldn’t be so lazy and document my build. Backstory time, we’ve owned a few Jeeps in my family, last count was about 20, give or take. We’ve modded many and driven our fair share into the ground. My biggest undertaking was my ‘12 JKU... When I traded it in it was sitting on 37’s...
  9. Lightweight Winch & Recovery Gear Setup

    Are you wanting the winch sitting on top or in the bumper? if you really want to just keep the plastic bumper you’re going to want to add the Rockhard 4x4 winch mounting plate Quadratec winch plate (specs show it weighs 40lbs).
  10. Lightweight Winch & Recovery Gear Setup

    I’m switching my set up from an EAG skeleton mid-width bumper with a 10k rugged ridge trekker (approx. wt. 95 lbs.) to the Rugged Ridge HD stubby bumper with same winch (approx. wt. 101lbs.) both options fit into my budget and don’t compromise on my ability for self recovery. Using an ATV winch...
  11. Northridge4x4 SWAG pack on Friday the 13th

    Done deal guys! On FB Jason Timbrook, thanks all!
  12. So why do I have $11K list of parts I want?

    Not going to lie there is a significant difference in drive quality between a factory set up, quality shocks, and a properly valved and sprung coil over system. If I had the disposable income and easy accessibility to SoCal and King’s testing lab I’d go right back to a King coil over system like...
  13. So why do I have $11K list of parts I want?

    I guess the real question is what's the long term goal? For example I traded in a 2012 JKU Sport that I easily blew 15-20K on to have a legit rock crawler sporting 12" King coilovers and 37's. It did exactly what I wanted but I knew it was going to cost me over the course of owning the Jeep. My...
  14. Installing Mopar Rear Bed Rock Rails on Overland and Sport Gladiators

    Very nice upgrade that's also on my to-do list!
  15. Dealer talked me out of JT. (For the time being)

    Unless the salesman is passionate about the vehicle they're selling they're pretty useless. Most if not all sales people go through the same vehicle training which is minimal at best. A good sales person will do their research and have that info ready and not give you the, "I think" speech. Like...
  16. BLACK Gladiator JT Club

    Yes, my long term goal is overlanding focused and so gas conservation and limiting weak points come first. I learned the hard way when I built my 2012 and spent I think more in my suspension, wheels, and tires than I did on the Jeep itself and would prefer not to go down that road again. Just...
  17. BLACK Gladiator JT Club

    minimal to be honest, the Teraflex leveling kit and a set of Milestar Patagonia’s in the 33” variety. Zero complaints still and this is coming from have “almost” completely dedicated rock crawler on 37’s...
  18. New Gear Shakedown in NM

    Hopefully things settle down quickly, we‘re itching to start running sections of the enchanted Rockies trail ourselves!
  19. How hard is it offroading in a manual transmission?

    It really depends, how much off-roading are you doing? What level of off-roading are you doing (lots of big rocks, mud, fire roads, etc)? What’s your level of experience in a manual as related to advanced techniques? It’s not a simple yes or no question, personally it wasn’t until my 2012 did I...
