There is an obnoxious, but informative, and opinionated dude with a pony tail that got a set for free. He has a website and YouTube channel. Discussion and pics on his forum.
Man, I wish that I hadn’t just bought new tires…. Not a Nitto fan boy but this is the right tire for me. I like em tall and skinny, but not too aggressive.
Thoughts on this new size?
The brackets will give you better on road geometry at the cost of some ground clearance. It will have more caster and also roll over bumps better than stock because your control arms are at a better angle.
Have you had an alignment? Most guys are shooting for the high end of stock spec...
Hey There...
I live in Lehi and have a Mojave with an RPOD 202. The 202 weighs in at 4,600 bare. Loaded up its over 5k.
I will say that the chassis is fine with the weight, but the little 3.6 is working hard to move that weight, especially at this altitude. I towed our trailer over highway 6...
You will need to check the mounting eye diameter. The Mojave uses a larger bolt than the other Gladiators. So I would think you would need a bushing or a bigger hole on the shocks. May want to check with Fox on that.
Edit: For some reason I missed external bypass and read external reservoir...
I would do 5.13s - I went with 5.38s on mine but I tow a pretty heavy trailer. It turns about 2500 @72MPH in 8th now. I think that is a little high. I would do at least 4.88 though but with the weight of the Gladiator, I think the 5.13s are the sweet spot.
My combined MPG over the first...
I ordered from Northridge - I checked Rubitrux on Friday and they were showing out of stock on Friday so maybe they got a shipment? That could be good if they are shipping from the mfg.
Hey All,
I have an AEV spacer lift on order. I ordered it about May 27th or so and am still waiting. I know someone who ordered May 12th or so and they got theirs two weeks ago.
Have you ordered and did it show up yet? Just curious if we can track and get an idea of when you ordered and...
Sorry to bring up this ancient quote, but 200 in a Gremlin? That sounds terrifying. 200 in a car designed to go that fast with a proper suspension is scary enough. Doing it in a short wheelbase turd like a Gremlin takes some balls.
Oh, and I only manually shift coming down a canyon or towing...
I don't have a ton of miles on them yet but... I just picked up a set of Maxxis Razr AT tires. The MT version of this tire has great reviews so I thought I would give these a try. They also happen to be a bit cheaper than the other tires right now.
I was looking for an AT tire but the...
I really liked my Duratrac tires. Good all around and on the rocks in Moab. Quiet. Did well on snowy/slushy roads. My only complaint was that they chunked on sharp rocks pretty easy.
It adds a few inches in overall length and it does stick down 3/4"-1" or so lower than the hitch receiver itself. But... It is angled and so it kind of aligns with the departure angle anyway. So even though it adds a bit of length and hangs down, its positioned in a helpful way.
Its really...
Sounds like the Mojave is perfect for you. The weekend after I got the Mojave, my wife and I were blasting over some desert two track and she was like, "This is WAY faster over this stuff than the JK was." Yep. Even with really nice Fox remote res shocks on the JK, it was not even close to...
New gears to go with the bigger tires. Went with 5.38s.
I will update after I get a few miles but so far, I am loving it. Also tow a trailer with this thing so that factored into the decision as well.
