  1. where are you powering the winch?

    It is a dual battery kit from Genesis offroad. There are a lot of wires but most aren't used for my application. A lot of them are used for a monitoing system you can mount in the cab but I didn't opt for that.
  2. Just Installed the Fox Steering Stabilizer. All I can say is WOW!

    I have one to install on my Gladiator along with the Synergy heavy duty tie rod and relocation bracket. Everyone reports that they make a significant difference
  3. Rock Krawler 3" X Factor JT System

    Understood and I agree with you. I can't speak for what Northridge says or promises. I personally think they are wrong on that and I got similar answers as you with my MBRP exhaust I had ordered through them which took approx. 2 months for me to get. I can only speak from my past experiences and...
  4. Rock Krawler 3" X Factor JT System

    A lot of us bought this kit when it was first released and due to the overwhelming demand it took a little while for most of us to get our kits. The reason for your delay is out of the control of any company. Most of these large items are not in stock at retailers and get drop shipped. Rock...
  5. where are you powering the winch?

    The winch is connected to the battery. The warn interrupter switch is wired to the aux switches. The warn switch only needs 5 amps to run. It is essentially a high amperage relay.
  6. First oil change....AMSOIL 0w20 or 5w30.

    I run 10w-30 in my 3.8L motor in my JKU. Jeep recommends 5w-20. I switched because the 10w-30 isn't consumed the way the 5w-20. My buddy who has been a Ford tech for almost 3 decades and does all the performance work, gas and diesel, at his dealership says the weight is just to get mileage...
  7. Rock Krawler 3" X Factor JT System

    Brought my JTR home last night. Went back to my buddy's house. Tightened and aligned up the steering wheel. Was finally able to take the JTR for a ride. Definitely a noticeable feel. Very solid and stable. Haven't checked were my caster is at but I have none of that darty, squirrelly feeling in...
  8. Rock Krawler 3" X Factor JT System

    Thanks Adam, Will get those installed asap after I get them. I really appreciate your assistance as well as your time when I had questions. Thanks again. Quick question, how does the position of the front swaybar look to you? I have the links adjusted to recommended length but notice the bar...
  9. Rock Krawler 3" X Factor JT System

    My hats off to you. Not saying it can't be done but having the truck on the lift definitely made it so much easier. Would of taken my son and I much longer.
  10. Rock Krawler 3" X Factor JT System

    I got my lift completed yesterday. Unfortunately I haven't driven it yet and still need to make sure front axle is centered and recenter my steering wheel. I had a slight emergency. My oldest son who is Army ROTC at Virginia Tech was sent home by the University as they continue to try and limit...
  11. Rock Krawler 3" X Factor JT System

    Well I'm about 3/4 of the way done with installing my Pro-X kit on my JTR. Starting this morning about 11am and knocked off about 6:30 this evening. Still need to finish rear, line up draglink and make sure tracbar is centered, and install my extended brakelines. Will be back at it tomorrow...
  12. What other jeep is in your garage?

    Currently have 2 other jeeps in our household. My '08 JKU 6spd, 5.5" RockKrawler lift, 37" STT Pros, 4.88 in axles with ARB lockers, Rubicon transfer case, has almost 200K on it and is my daily driver. My wife has a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with the 5.7L Hemi. Her Cherokee is sporting...
  13. Engine Break-in Oil Filter Metal Shavings

    Following this. I just did my first oil change at 1500 miles also. I did not notice any shavings on my oil filter. But I didn't disassemble it like you did. I looked it over quick, opened a few pleats. Saw nothing, nothing looked unusual.
  14. where are you powering the winch?

    Most wire it right to the battery. I used a Warn interrupter and have that controlled via one of the Aux switches. This allows the wires to the winch to not be live all the time. I have the switch mounted next to my batteries.
  15. Is it me, or does the JT really struggle...

    I'm on stock 33s. Mine is a Rubicon with 37s. Don't get me wrong once at cruising speed the RPMs drop significantly but it seems to downshift quickly and rev up especially if you hit the gas to climb hills. I live in Northeastern PA and we have plenty of hills. I'm curious what the difference...
  16. Is it me, or does the JT really struggle...

    I have the 8spd auto and it seems just stepping on the pedal has it downshifting and reving up
  17. How does the oil life meter work, when to do first oil change?

    I think it is more opinion than anything else as to when to do your first oil change. I just did mine this weekend at 1500 miles. Even running full synthetic on all my vehicles I still do all my oil changes every 3-4K miles. Some say it is over kill and a waste of money but I have a 3.8L in my...
  18. Is it me, or does the JT really struggle...

    For me the hardest part is getting used to where the JT 3.6 makes its power. I have an '08 JKU, 3.8L, 6spd, 37s on 4.88 gears and I'd swear that even with almost 200K on its clock it has way more snot than my 3.6L. But as I drive my Gladiator more I find it is more getting used to its need for...
  19. Rock Krawler 3" X Factor JT System

    Looks great, can't wait to install mine. Are the 3/4" spacers something you needed because of heavier front end items? Bumper, winch, etc or just to completely eliminate any rake?
  20. What exhaust upgrade did you go with? Cool one from MBRP...

    I'm up to 1400 miles. No drone anymore since I tightened the front clamp that attaches exhaust to the factory y-pipe. I'm happy with it. Sounds nice, great tone, especially when under some load. When you get on it and it downshifts and revs up it is amazing how much the volume increases.
