We bumped it up a notch this week...3.5” Clayton Overland lift, 37” KM3’s, KM100 Sync wheels, and Warn EVO 12s winch. Trying to decide if we go stubby on the bumper or not.
Right there with you, I just couldn't go with the look of the open soft top, but we've had a Sunrider on our JT for a year and LOVE it. One hand operation to open and close and I can close it in seconds if it starts to rain. When you're in the front with the top open, you have the sun above...
I’d prefer to not figure out the whole shipping hassle on something this large, but if it doesn’t sell in the next few weeks I’ll reach out to see if you’re still interested.
Love that look and glad to hear your feedback, my Clayton 3.5 Overland with Fox shocks goes on next week. Will be paired with 37.5 X 12.5 X 17 BFG KM3s. Will tow our little 22' trailer a few times before deciding on a regear. Don't think i 'll need it for our offroading, but time will tell...
That’s great to hear. We’re picking up a trailer that’s just a little bit heavier than that, but not by too far, in a few weeks and looking for our first TT experience in Shenandoah National mid-April. Hoping for a smooth ride as well! Similar trailer setup as well, but adding in a Halo view...
Hi Steve - I didn't mean to imply you needed to prove you had thought through your load numbers, I was more concerned that a sales guy mislead you that 5000# was fully loaded. Sounds like you're planning a great time while keeping your GVWS manageable. I hope we can run into you out in...
That looks like a great little trailer for a Gladiator! Very similar in a lot of ways to the one that we're waiting to pick up (Imagine 17MKE). Just wanted to confirm something that you said in your post though - these are about 4700 lbs Dry Weight (unloaded) - when you do your full load...
Much appreciated Paul, it's great to hear from somebody towing that it's working out. Sounds like a re-gear is an almost certainty with 4.88's being a good consideration for extra torque without giving up too much strength.
I appreciate the feedback Paul/Jeff. Our shop was recommending that with that heavy a trailer that we stick with 4.56 or maybe 4.88, but to first do a couple tows in the areas we'll most likely visit and then make the decision on the $2k+ regear investment. Sounds like I can just factor in the...
We're having a 3.5 Clayton Overland lift with 37 x 12.5 Trail Grapplers in a couple weeks (along with Mopar's trailer brake control) in our auto 3.6l JTR. How can I figure out what impact these changes have to my towing capacity? We just bought an Imagine 17MKE, which has a 6400 GVWH, so...
We had slightly different weekends! This path was so much icier this weekend, came within fractions of an inch of sliding into a JK after losing traction on a hill...I was sliding and they were hard in reverse all the way down the hill to stay just off my bumper. PHEW
Our own 17MKE arrives in about a month, how has it been this last year pulling yours around with the Rubicon? We're putting in a Clayton 3.5" lift with 37' Trail Grapplers on our own Rubicon and hoping that doesn't kill our ability to pull the trailer. Are you running 35's here and would you...
One-year follow up on the Skyjacker lift and Nitto tire upgrade....
The Skyjacker lift did NOT continue meeting our needs as we took on more challenging trails. I have videos showing all the bounce and sway that we experienced coming off of rocks and other obstacles. On one tight spot the cab...
We tore up our original Overland steps rock crawling, so we wanted something that was an actual rock rail and a step, but if you just want a step, keep an eye on your local Jeep club’s FB market for Overland take-offs, you can find em for $200 or less.
