  1. What’s the best trip you’ve taken in your Gladiator so far?

    I think it depends on your Rig's capability. If you have a winch and 35" tires, I'd say Kane Creek. It's a beautiful run with running water in the canyon and some challenging obstacles getting out of the canyon. With a winch and some stacking of rocks for the smaller 35" tires and good spotting...
  2. What’s the best trip you’ve taken in your Gladiator so far?

    Best trip for my '25 Gladdy Rubicon has been to Moab with my wife. When the trail gets knarly, she will pilot and I'll spot her through the rough stuff. We are running 315/70R17 tires (small by today's standards). The actual tires are ATTURO Trail Blade ATS tires from Discount Tire. I was...
  3. MetalCloak 2.5" GC lift and wheel backspacing issue - any wisdom on this?

    If I recall correctly, they stated that running narrower non-Rubicon axles and stock wheels would rub on the shocks. Now the question is; will it rub during flex, or daily driving..... I don't know. I'm running aftermarket wheels with a -10 offset that pushes the wheels/tires out further, plus...
  4. Overlanding Power Setup Complete

    Ahhh, yes a second level would make sense to allow you to throw gear on top of this electrical equipment. nice.
  5. Overlanding Power Setup Complete

    Nice and clean setup. Could this have been mounted in a fan-vented box in the bed to keep your useable rear seat space open?
  6. 2025 Gladiator Rubicon with vibration after lift

    Back when I did a custom lift on my 99 4Runner SAS conversion, I swapped in a D44 from an old Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I installed 12" coil suspension up front and to get the axle Pinion pointing towards the transfer case, without inducing Death-Wobble, I had to cut the inner knuckles from the axle...

  9. Mopar 2” Lift Kit

    I looked at the Mopar lift and realized I could spend a few extra bucks and get a MUCH better 2.5" lift in the name of MetalCloak.
  10. For Me, No More Wheeling at Large Events

    These are the Rock Sliders from Rock Slide Engineering with the 3/16" steel Skid Plates attached??? Yikes. I thought the 3/16 up-armor plates will hold up better than this....
  11. 2.5” lift input

    my '25 Gladdy Rubicon has the SwayBar Disconnect system. When used, the front really flexes out.
  12. 2.5” lift input

    Something to consider before getting the kit is to find out the lift-kit manufacturer recommends a front drive shaft replacement (upgrade). I have the Metal Cloak 2.5 GC lift. In the instructions, they HIGLY recommend dropping another 700 bones for a smaller diameter, strong front drive shaft...
  13. What do you do with your Rooftop tent when not in use?

    If you have typical 8' garage door, with a 9' garage ceiling, AND access to the attic, you can use a Fleximount Overhead Storage lift. It's rated for 300-lbs, which can easily lift my OpenRoad 161-lb tent, the 50-lb awning, and a few other lightweight items. I would STRONGLY recommend getting...
  14. The Pentastar tick of death?

    Liqui Moly has been an absolute wonder for making this engine much quieter. After the last oil change I slipped a can of this stuff in, and it's been very quite since then. Very happy with the results: Liqui Moly MoS2 Anti-Friction Engine Treatment | 300 ml | oil additive | SKU: 2009
  15. Do I need a different front drive shaft when I lift 2.5"

    I know this is an older thread, but I didn't see a conclusion to the OPs initial quest for a lift and question about the front driveshaft. I can confirm that the MetalCloak 2.5GC lift with the RockSport shocks flexes a LOT. In the MC2.5GC lift instructions, they HIGHLY recommend replacing the...
  16. The Pentastar tick of death?

    This '25 Gladiator is my first Jeep I've ever owned. Thus far, with the MetalCloak 2.5GC lift, 35" tires, it drives really nice. This past weekend I went out for an overnight excursion with NM Overlanders and had a great time east of Taos in the mountains. While I was airing up the tires I...
  17. MetalCloak 2.5" GC lift and wheel backspacing issue - any wisdom on this?

    yeah.... that's an option. When the lift comes in and I get to wrenching, I'll see how it goes. With the wider axles on the Rubicon, they may clear, or maybe not. Just have to see how it turns out. I'll definitely post up a new thread on how it goes, and a few pics related to this topic in this...
