Rock Rails
Purchased as a Rubi take-off from a local member. The rails came with the many small pinch bolts, but I needed to get 8 body bolts and washers (M8, I think) from Lowes. At this point in the build, I had not yet ordered torque wrenches from Tekton, so on my list of things to do is...
The Buying Process
I'd needed a vehicle to satisfy my increasingly difficult-to-ignore desire to get off the beaten path and find some remote fishing/camping spots. I'd rented some Wranglers for light trails and really liked them. Also, I was coming from an IS350 and needed a truck for truck...
I got a good deal on a RR trekker 12500 winch from Morris4x4. As far as I know the winch plate that comes with the bumper has standard mounts, and is rated for 12k. I think the nicer winches are a little more compact based on the fact that I had a heck of a time finding a winch cover online...
Hi guys, so I'm learning as I'm going on my first Jeep. I've got a Sport S non Max, and I've picked up some rubi takeoffs that I'd like to install along with the teraflex and daystar spacers. I've seen people say that spacers will throw off truck geometries (and other people say that the 1.5"...
I bought mine used from carmax at 425 miles, I think the difference between new and used is entirely whether the vehicle has been registered before or not. New or used, the initial mfr warranty should apply. It seems like it's advantageous for the truck to be "new" because the three years of...
Drove Albuquerque to Denver to pick up some rubi takeoffs and then back to Albuquerque on the same day. 15ish hours with stops, and it was a pleasant trip in the Gladiator. My ulterior motive was to put a lot of miles on the truck while it was still in carmax's 7 day full-refund-no-questions...
Hi all --
This is my first Jeep and my first vehicle of any sort that I bought with the intent to modify. We'll see how it goes. The utility the Gladiator offered was just what I'd been looking for, and so I have started down the path of building the Oreo Fishwagon.
Purposes:
1. Daily driver...
The rotors may be glazed. If they are, you could try getting them machined. I had this on a vehicle and nothing fixed the problem until I eventually replaced the rotors.
I'm in a similar position to OP right now. Does anyone have a decent guess about how this jeep was used based on the below history? The reports say it was a personal use vehicle, but the history doesn't look like normal personal use to me.
Sport S with 7in Radio, Trailer Tow, Cold Weather...
Hey guys, new to Jeeps and new to this forum. Are there any Albuquerque Jeep shops that you'd especially recommend? I'll need a pre-purchase inspection for a Gladiator I found on CarMax, and then I'll need a shop that can point me in the right direction on building a fishing wagon for remote...
