  5. We installed 4.88s from a 4.10. (37” tire). Review, tips, and notes inside!

    4.10 w 35's should be right in the sweet spot...should be able to hold 8th at 2000rpm w 75-77mph

  10. First JT up Peddler's Glory, WV???

    Very challenging trail, glad you made it without tearing up anything. This was with 35's on stock Ruby suspension? Ive got a Willys, hope that a 2" lift with 35's will be able to negotiate the same type of trails

    Wait.....ceramic coated the interior? Its mostly plastic, give me some details on that please. And where did you source the console cover, i need one myself
  12. 38s on the ecodiesel!

    Im wondering about axle issues, namely steering knuckle at end of the axle tubes, tie rod and ball joint wear, etc. I have heard of weld cracks forming on the axle ends due to stress from the larger tires. Not the weight so much, but the added leverage on the axle components. I love the look and...
  13. 38s on the ecodiesel!

    those wheels are sweeet.....
  14. Tiny pinhole ends a mighty 35...

    Agreeing with the crown, I have a set of 38's on a vehicle that I plugged at home, had a #10 screw in it, never had another issue. Plug for convenience, patch on the inside is most correct.
  15. Another Weekend and the EcoDiesel Gladiator is back in the shop...

    I posted this on another thread, but this past Sunday I did a fairly long interstate run from Kingston Tn. to the Augusta Ga. area. Keep the speed on the cruise as much as I could with traffic, kept it consistent @77-78mph with 2000rpm (diesel), of course several times traffic idiots or tie ups...

  18. Gladiator diesel real life MPG

    Well, had a fairly long drive from Kingston Tn area to the Augusta Ga area this morning. This time I took care to watch heavy acceleration, kept it around 2000 rpm in the 77-78mph range, very little start and stop.....I actually got it to 25.6 average mpg!! Woohoo....little diesel does pretty good
  19. Another Weekend and the EcoDiesel Gladiator is back in the shop...

    Im interested on what you are doing to get 27-28 mpg on the highway. I have tried everything short of running at 65-70 on the interstate which will get me killed due to everyone else is doing at least 75 or more including the 18 wheelers. I have never gotten more than around 25 with an average...
