1. Only guessing, but it seems more likely that the ScanGauge was stuck displaying 38 and not updating for a long time for some reason (loose OBD2 connector, internally stalled, who knows). Then when it finally updated, it looked like a sudden jump. 2. No. The routine regens like the one you...

You looking for the socket size that fits the nuts? Or the thread specs?

Ah right, as a brand name it's a little unusual I guess https://41twentytwo.com/product/hitch-slider/

An image of the hitch slider? Earlier in the thread https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/rubicon-build-rock-crawling-and-daily.104783/post-1680372

I got one of those tall 41.22 hitch sliders specifically to protect the spare tire when I have to leave it under the bed (which is most of the time). I was starting to accumulate drag marks on the tire from shelf drops. Totally stopped once I did - very happy with it I can put the tire...

My 3.5” Clayton lift netted +5” in front. (Diesel front springs, vs sagged stock with winch.) Maybe it helps to call out if we’re talking about nominal vs actual lift…. FWIW I did control arms, drop brackets, 28.25” shocks, high angle sway bar links (Rubicon here), no driveshaft - all in all...

Most of this route is beginning friendly, especially the southern NV sections. And it’ll get you out into lovely country https://ridebdr.com/nvbdr/

https://shiftautoandoffroad.com/products/shift-reinforcement-bridge this is for the spring seat - something like this for the shock mount

If you go with rear coilovers be sure to beef up the frame at the shock mount points. Stock, the heaviest loads are taken by the spring seats. We’ve seen several frames that buckled at the shock mount point. Usually it’s been badly overloaded, or jumped, or both - but I’ve seen one video of a...

$17 should get you a whole box of 100 M6 rivnuts, lol. Nothing magic about the one Mopar supplies. As for the bolts, any 10.9 M6 hex-head cap screw and washer will do. I’ve had mine on and off a bunch for various reasons, and there’s nothing special about the fasteners. No need for the...

Negative. It’s a very precise fit. Yeah it’s a pretty big job, but like you say a good time to put down sound deadener.

My Gladiator backseat is deleted and for about 95% of the driving miles, occupied by two big dogs. Replacing the carpet with Armorlite floor is one of the best things I’ve done. All the fur just brushes and vacuums out, doesn’t mat up and stick under the floormats and crevasses… The metal...

Rear caps on the removable side wings are standard. The back of the center bumper section is open by default. Here's an aluminum panel option: https://www.utahdesignfoundry.com/products/jl-steel-bumper-closeout-panel There are many others. Before those ^ existed I bought some cheap laser-cut...

Being a nerd and a weight-weenie (see previous post) I weighed all the bits going on and coming off when I did a full suspension job (Clayton springs, Falcon shocks, 8 Metalcloak control arms, MC front drop brackets, Teraflex rear swaybar kit, Teraflex rear trackbar relocation etc). Total net...

I weighed every single part going on and coming off when I installed NVM alu skids + UHMW, and it was net +49 lbs.

+1 GoPros overheat when in sun behind the windshield with no airflow. Not workable as a dashcam long term

I have the Teraflex “16 inch travel” rear kit, which includes extended brake lines. I didn’t try it out without the extended lines, but when fully flexed out in the rear they don’t look too long. The stiff stock control arm bushings or binding from the stock mount points might limit rear flex to...

Had to look up the charts: A2-70 (18-8 SST) minimum yield stress is 450 MPa, basically the same as ungraded steel 8.8 650 MPa 10.9 940 MPa and the surface interaction between the 18-8 and whatever the nylock nuts are is basically cold-welding them in place.

Not impressed with the included hardware for the water tank kit. Everything drives on fine the first time, but on trying to remove a few fasteners the nylocks seize on the A2-70 threads, then break the shank. After several test fits and removals, I’ve broken two, and completely stripped the...

Stainless 1/2-NPT or stainless 1/2-BSP?
