Make sure the HPFP recall is completed on it, I think if its after mid year 2023 it comes from the factory with the "new" pump. Ideally, you want one that has good maintenance records.
These EcoDiesels don't do well with poor maintenance... so better to get one that has good dealership records...
100% agree on a bit bigger tire... the stock Sport looks a bit off in my opinion, but that's just my personal preference. I own multiple Jeeps and I have for a long time... I think my addiction to mods is out of control at this point lol.
I think one of the biggest benefits of lockers in my...
Short trips on the 3.0 are not really a big deal as long as you take it on some highway runs semi-frequently to get it good and hot, the diesels love to work and get nice and toasty. A few tips below... some of them already mentioned!
- Run an additive with every single tank for lubrication...
That's terrible... I'm starting to get a bit of corrosion on the edge of my hood and I'm debating if I even want to deal with it. I feel like they're going to mangle it.
To be fair, OP is running a Sport I think. A Mojave/Rubicon can run 37s with generally no issues, even without a lift. I don't think a Sport will even clear 37s from a fender perspective.
Everyone in this thread is 100% accurate... larger the tire, mass, etc is more drag on the vehicle. If it's...
You pretty much want to turn your Gladiator into a Mojave if you want to be able to hit some ruts at speed comfortably. One option that would be pretty cheap is if you could find a take-off Mojave suspension from someone who's upgraded... might be a cheap way to get close to Mojave-level...
Lower those tires down to 30-32psi in my opinion and see how you feel... it should feel much more planted. If you find that sway bar disconnect is giving you a much better feel, those are some damn rough roads LOL.
Anti-Rocks are seriously awesome though, and I'd recommend them to anyone who...
100%. I have a 21 JTRD like yourself and I still have the stock suspension with a 1.5" Teraflex leveling kit, and it rides smooth with 37s at 30psi. The shocks on the 21 JT Rubicons are so bad, but it still rides very well on dirt roads at proper tire pressure.
If you want to bomb through a...
37s on a 21 JTRD with 3.73s, I noticed zero difference and I continue to get insane fuel economy on the highway.
I agree with a lot of the folks that 3.73 vs 4.10 really isn't that big of a difference, and you'll find plenty of people on this forum that say after they went to 4.10s they...
Thank you! It's getting there. Have another surgery coming up in a few weeks so it'll be a bit quiet, but lots of changes coming up. Aiming to do an entire suspension rebuild this summer, just trying to lock in the specifics.
After doing lots of research and trying to support North American...
@Metalcloak How does your zinc plating hold up to the east coast? I'm in the planning phases of my suspension build and trying to decide on what vendor to use. I'm trying to stick with the same vendor for OCD sake haha. Trying to stick with Canadian/American made as much as possible.
AEV w...
Lets not feed the troll folks LOL, the guy is clearly quite grumpy and either inexperienced or delusional. Of course, it is a free country and everyone is welcome to do to their vehicles what they wish.
Stock Jeeps are quite capable, don't kid yourself OP that you need to go mod crazy right...
