I’ve got the Metalcloak rear skid, but realized it makes diff oil changes more difficult. Just something to consider when shopping around. Especially if you’re a believer in frequent fluid changes for the diffs (which I don’t have a strong opinion about, but have seen posts from folks that do)...

Also a cheap manual bow saw can be acquired pretty early. Mine is a Harbor Freight one, was prob all of $7, but has cut through 2 trees that were partially blocking the trail, but were frozen to the ground and could not be pushed off the trail. Something like this...

I am in the same boat, got the Zeak 13k winch, but have not had the need to use it, so no real input on it yet. I guess it went in just fine, includes both a wired and a wireless remote (both worked perfectly) and fired up without issues. The one thing I remember is that the control box is only...

This sentiment comes up in many threads and shows a real lack of imagination. Yeah, likely not a lot of a gladiator owners are eating soup out of the can. But there is also something to be said for not overspending on something you might never use (for a casual off-roader). If someone markets a...

You can send your opinion to the seller via private message, instead of posting it in their thread.

lol, I love how nowhere did he say he liked it, a true master of suspense! Just that’s it’s different.

Which light bar is that on your bumper? Looks great.

Do they use the same box to also sell an RC Bronco maybe?

What the heck did you search for? “How to use tap and die” brings up a lot of results on the YouTube.

Just got mine installed last night. My fingers are pretty raw from trying to tighten the straps. But hopefully it’s a once and done deal. I’m 5’11”, and when I sit under the empty attic, I’m pretty close to brushing it with my head. Of course everyone’s torso/leg ratio might be a little...

Have heard of people using a few layers of electrical tape to snug up loose hitch balls before. Not a weight bearing solution of course, but does last a while just around town to eliminate the rattle.

Didn’t even know this intake was there! So there’s the on top and this one. Is there another behind the passenger fender?

Would love to see it with a couple of sweatshirts or jackets stuffed up there. Wonder how much it sags with any weight in it?

I also experienced poor alignment compared to the stock screw angle. But the screw did catch the threads and went in without too much resistance. It looked like the piece I was threading the screw into was pretty thin, which can sometimes accept a different angle, since there’s only a couple of...

Can you let us know where you found the 63 ft-lb figure for the tie rod? Looks like it’s 47 on the JL, which shares the front end with the JT. Just want to make sure I and anyone who finds this thread in the future use the correct torque.

Indeed, although having just checked on mine, the upper would only be accessible with a crows foot, or maybe during a brand new install? Otherwise no room in there for a conventional torque wrench setup with just a socket. The lower castle nut is an easy check (in case anyone’s thinking of...

Looks like 35 ft-lb for the lower and 55 for the upper ball joints.

With the cotter pin there, what is the role of adding loctite? I ask since adding any lubricant to the threads can impact the effective torque you’re applying. Now it may not matter with loctite (not really a lube and dry torque spec is followed still) but unless you’re thinking that cotter pin...

Yeah I didn’t know if the Mojave was different, but keep the missing crossbeam in mind if you decide you want to get a belly skid plate. Some are automatic only due to needing that cross beam to anchor to. I ended up getting the quadratec aluminum one, which includes the crossbeam, but honestly...
